It’s refreshing to see department heads who are even aware of NTCI as an option for their schools. David Brady wrote this to me in an email today:
Lots to consider as we make this monumental paradigm shift to CI-based teaching. Upon reflecting, I think our penchant for curriculum mapping is a vestige of the old textbook-based mentality: predictable, controllable, and safe. While I’m not yet ready to ditch any and all planning, your ideas give me confidence to “go with the flow” when students go in an unexpected direction and are really into it. Maybe one day that will become the norm instead of the exception.
