Should Teachers Post Objectives?

Last week I shared a little resolution: to post more questions on the blog.

I also put out a call for questions, and within hours Chase Orton delivered, sharing a question he had been discussing on Twitter:

Is it better to clearly post/state a lesson objective at the start, or to allow students to discover it during the course of the lesson?

Feel free to treat this as an always/sometimes/never, or to suggest a third approach not described above.

More Questions

I shared a pedagogy vs content knowledge question last week that made me realize a couple of things.

  1. I learn quite a lot from wrestling my own thoughts on a topic into blog post form. I learn even more when I pose a question and have the privilege of reading others’ thoughtful responses.
  2. I miss #slowmathchat.

And so, a tiny resolution: To post more questions on my blog. Stay tuned. I hope you’ll join in the fun.

P.S. I have a few questions of my own queued up, but I’d love to know what questions you’d love to see in the mix. Drop me a line (mjfenton at gmail dot com) with your contributions. Thanks in advance!
