Navigating Teaching Models and Adaptation in Education

Welcome back to The Elements of Great Teaching podcast series, where we explore the evidence-informed principles that underpin effective teaching. In this third episode, Adam Kohlbeck and I focus on Dimension 1: Understanding the Content, zeroing in on Element 3: Knowledge of Curriculum Tasks from the Model for Great Teaching. Teaching isn’t just about delivering content; it’s about delivering the right content in the right way. This episode dives into why understanding the curriculum deeply—and knowing how to connect it with meaningful tasks, assessments, and activities—is key to fostering student learning. Listen below to Episode 3. Let us know your thoughts on the episode—how do you incorporate this element into your practice? Share your ideas and reflections in the comments or on social media!
