Listener Question: Gaps in Foundations & Nonlinear Pedagogy

Today we consider a question from listener Rachel Lamb (@rlamb_leg) who observed that many studios have a trick-focused curriculum with significant gaps in the foundations. We explore how this is a common pattern, when nonlinear pedagogy can workand when it introduces risk and limitations for students. We talk about what it means to really devote ourselves to the craft of teaching and rising to the challenge of becoming an expert, not just guessing our way through.
