The July 2nd SmartBrief has a little reader poll that doesn’t appear scientific or representative or trustworthy at all. But still, it brightens my day. More than a host of trendy topics, educators want to learn about curriculum design:
Which topics are you most interested in learning about in your self-directed PD this summer?
Curriculum design: 25.89%
Differentiated instruction: 22.33%
Teacher leadership: 16.15%
Children living in poverty: 10.93%
Classroom management: 8.31%

Let’s hope they’re learning about knowledge-rich, coherent, cumulative curriculum design.
