In this episode I’m speaking with Julie Stern. Julie is a four-time, best selling author with titles that include: Learning that Transfers, Visible Learning for Social Studies, The On-Your-Feet Guide to Learning Transfer and Tools for Teaching Conceptual Understanding.

She is an advocate for sustainability, equity and well being in education and has spoken internationally to help facilitate this in many schools around the world.

We discuss:

1. How conceptual learning and transfer compliment each other

2. How teachers or schools can accurately assess that transfer has taken place

3. Julie’s stratification of different kinds of concepts and how this might apply to English

4. David Perkin's book, Future Wise, and where his 'lifeworthy knowledge' would they fit in this conceptual stratification

5. Whether Julie thinks the current paradigm of dividing schools up into: Math, Social Studies, English etc is an appropriate model looking into the future

6. When designing the closest thing to a perfect assessment, what she thinks it should entail for students

7. And lastly - when, if ever, is a good time to do project based learning with a class?

Thanks so much to Julie for being a passionate and engaging voice on the topic of conceptual learning and offering a framework that better allows IB educators and beyond to crystallize their teaching approaches.
