Conceptual teaching & learning with Julie Stern
This episode, hosted by Kurt Carlson, features noted author and workshop leader, Julie Stern speaking with us about her work in conceptual teaching and learning. Julie is a keynote speaker for our 2019 MNIB Summer Conference at Bethel University. Registration can be found at our website.
Their conversation, recorded over Skype, is filled with examples of students using concepts to transfer learning across subjects. Once students have an understanding of the big concepts, operating behind the facts, it is almost like the movie, "The Matrix". They see connections everywhere they look and easily begin creating their own knowledge from those connections. It is pretty impressive to hear about 3rd graders who find ways to connect culture and economics on their own.
