Leaders of learning need a robust understanding of learning, development, teaching, and schools as settings for these activities. In this curriculum strand, students will investigate key questions:
How does learning work?
How are learners different?
What’s worth learning?
What kind of knowing matters?
How is content best taught?
How do we know content is getting learned?
How do we improve learning at scale?
