Teachers want the flexibility to shift between quiet and loud modes of learning. Traditional classrooms allow this. When different groups share an open-plan space, there is less flexibility because you need to be mindful of your neighbors. The default learning mode is quiet. 1/2

Here’s why I think a knowledge-rich curriculum makes it more likely that students go home and chat about their learning with their parents: 1. When the T is the ‘Sage on the Stage,’ they are modeling to Ss how to share info. Then the Ss go home and they become little sages.
