This video (passed along by an administrator to staff) has some valid points, but on the whole, it represents a point of view that I think is hugely over-valued by some folks in education these day– the view of education as a hyper-engineered all-on-the-same-page objective-dominated process. The speaker is Mike Mattos (who I sometimes find inspirational and sometimes– well, sometimes he invokes Marzano’s name like he’s someone we should pay attention to) and the topic is getting “insanely specific about learning outcomes and learning objectives.” I’m not a fan.
