The Knowledge Gap Episode 8

Today we're wrapping up The Knowledge Gap by Natalie Wexler. In chapter 12, "Scaling Up: Can It Be Done?," Natalie describes schools, districts, and states that are all working to overcome the knowledge gap. We discuss additional knowledge-rich curricula that are currently being used with good results. In the epilogue, Natalie concludes her book with her vision for the future and the direction she thinks our education system should take, noting that it's not a one-size-fits-all situation. We give our final thoughts on this book, especially how we'll be using what we've learned in the work we do as SLPs.

Next month, we'll be reading Lisa Murphy on Being Child Centered. Want to join our FREE online community? Fill out this Google form and we'll let you know if we have any more spots available!
