Wisdom rediscovered for the twenty-first century. We Need Good Schools to Help Us Become Good Teachers. April 15, 2015. Noah: he had the right idea, but I don’t think he built that thing single-handed. One of the themes of the whole Teach Like a Champion. Only a few, very exceptional individuals will have the strength of character and intellectual independence to plough their own furrow in an environment that is hostile to learning, because it is so deeply infected with bad ideas. Teach Like a Champion.

Wisdom rediscovered for the twenty-first century. The Dangerous Fantasy of Generalised Understanding. August 2, 2015. Have recently blogged about the distinction between knowledge and understanding, a distinction which has often been used to denigrate what is referred to as ‘mere’ knowledge. Even at a basic level, we can see this in operation. If we consider arithmetic, we can say that mastering the concept of addition requires very little specific knowledge. On the other hand, it takes lots of l...The i...

Wisdom rediscovered for the twenty-first century. Healthy Eating for the Mind. August 11, 2015. August 11, 2015. Medical research can be compared to educational research.
