Greg Ashman
Ashman believes education is always eating its own tail (similar to the Ourboros snake): going round and round, with old ideas repackaged as new. In this short ebook, drawn from Ashman’s blogs, he covers a number of topics such as ‘project follow through’; cognitive load theory; the necessity of strong phonics instruction; and formative assessment.
Ashman tackles practices like differentiated instruction, the pursuit of ‘deep understanding’, and top-down instructional design, providing a quick overview of evidence-based instructional practice, as well as challenging some educational myths and sacred cows.
