“the most common approach to curriculum design is to address the needs of the so-called “average student.” Of course this average student is a myth, a statistical artifact not corresponding to any actual individual. But because so much of the curriculum and teaching methods employed in most schools are based on the needs of this mythical average student, they are also laden with inadvertent and unnecessary barriers to learning.”

“We think that the demands of any given task are focused in the area of our goal, such as mathematical computation. But within the way we present a task, we often create demands that are not relevant to the goals or purposes of the lesson or task. For instance, consider the classic case of the word problem. We think the demands of the task are about math, but there are of course also reading demands that confound our understanding of students’ successes or failures.”
