SHOW SUMMARY:
Do your students struggle with design challenges? Maybe they aren’t developmentally ready for that level of knowledge application. Research shows that abstract concepts often cannot be grasped by children under a certain age (this is the Developmental Learning Theory). We need to make sure our teaching is appropriate for a student’s age and know how to set them up for success in learning these concepts when they are ready. Listen to this episode to learn more!
