Content analysis, assessment through teaching and early reading with Jonathan Solity and Nazam Hussain

I had a conversation with Jonathan Solity because of my interest in developing curricula that supports student learning. In this talk, Jonathan and I discuss how to support children using instructional psychology, rational/ content analysis, Pareto’s principle, and Haring and Eaton’s (1978) Learning Hierarchy. Jonathan emphasises the importance of teaching the most useful knowledge/skills first using the inherent generative principles within a particular body of content. At the end of the talk Jonathan makes suggestions for how EPs can support teachers in promoting early reading and maths skills.I hope you enjoy the talk!Dr Nazam Hussain (Educational Psychologist)See below for links to references (I could have added many more!) Darnell, C.A, & Solity, J.E., & Wall, H.
