A3 A fundamental Q for Make Movements & Future Ready Learning is: What is the new "curriculum," beyond facts, knowledge & content? #divergED

WeberEducation - Moderator Jan 31 @ 8:22 PM EST

So much of of learning is 'making meaning" it seems. Reading comprehension is making meaning of text. #divergED
