Interview - Changes to Ontario’s sex-ed curriculum accompanied by scrapping ‘discovery math’ model
Manage episode 212720675 series 2342620
Ontario's new government has garnered widespread attention with its move to replace the controversial 2015 sex-ed curriculum with the 1998 version while the province's ministry of education works on an update.
It also seems as though 'discovery math' will be removed and replaced with an older model that teaches the fundamentals of mathematics, and our guest says this is a good thing.
Guest: Michael Zwaagstra, Manitoba high school teacher, research associate with the Frontier Centre for Public Policy and co-author of ‘What’s Wrong with our Schools and How We can Fix Them’
