#285 Knowledge vs Skills Debate with Dan...

Teach Me, Teacher LLC
About this episode

Hello everyone! It has never been the goal of this podcast to push one side of the current issues education is facing. I value the complexities of what we do in schools, and as a consequence, value wide ranging opinions from people who care about education's future. 

Today is a day where I get to model what it's like to speak with someone who I do not fully agree with, but value and respect their thinking nonetheless. 

Daniel Buck comes to the show bringing his expertise, willingness to dialogue, and unafraid opinions to discuss what he calls the biggest debate no one is talking about... the knowledge vs skills debate as it relates to pedagogy and schools.

For the uninitiated, Daniel has been featured in places such as the New York Post and Wall Street Journal, has a healthy Twitter following, and is the author of the upcoming book, What Is Wrong With Our Schools? The ideology impoverishing education in America and how we can do better for our student.
