Depth trumps breadth every time
Don’t
let the rush, rush, rush of April and May cause you to lose sight of
this truth. If we cover our material faster than usual in order to get
as much in as possible before summer (a common practice among
educators), do you suppose our students will learn it as well, better,
or worse than they were learning back in October when we weren’t feeling
this end-of-the-year pressure? Trust me, they will learn better by
digging deeply into a few key concepts than they will by skimming and
forgetting. Make the correct decision when lesson planning.
