Educators have long debated the best way to teach, especially the subjects of science and math. One side favors direct instruction, where teachers tell students what they need to know or students read it from textbooks. Some call it explicit or traditional instruction. The other side favors inquiry, where students conduct experiments and figure out the answers themselves like a scientist would.

A quick’n’dirty overview of the Interactionist perspective on crime and deviance.

This self-reporting gives us important insights into how our students are feeling, but it is not equivalent to clinical diagnoses.

I do a little ACT tutoring. I have watched just about every YouTube video on every ACT subject tested. Everyone has their own take on how to approach each test, which leads to a wide variety of opinions. The Reading Test (and Science test), as opposed to the English and Math tests, seems to have fewer moving parts overall.

In the 1980s, my geography teacher and one of my lecturers collaborated on coding a simple hillslope model which looked at runoff on a hillslope. It was made available as an early piece of software for purchase and reviewed in TG at the time. I wrote about it here. It was for sale at the time - for use on the BBC B computer. The TG description is shown here.
