Depth of Knowledge

The last assessment I gave I hadn't made sure I covered all the levels of knowledge. As teachers, we often become consumed with worry about covering massive amounts of materials that we often don't look at value or depth of what we are teaching. Essentially, we are more focused on the quantitative instead of the qualitative.

I have since decided to cover less, but what I do cover I cover more in-depth. I am also trying to bring into most lessons something of current relevance. For example, when we were studying 1984, we also examined the controversy over SOPA and other such current events.
