Do teachers know enough about how students think and what motivates them? Daniel Willingham thinks that ed schools are not giving teachers enough useful information about how children learn. He laid out his argument in an Education Next article, “Unlocking the Science of How Kids Think.”

In this episode, Dan Willingham speaks with Marty West about this problem with preservice teacher training and how it could be fixed.
