Joseph Schwab's 4 components

As I was browsing through "Evaluation Roots: Tracing Theorists' views and influences, I came across a passage on p.338 that talked about some ideas by a Joseph Schwab.

There are four commonplaces of a learning experience:

1. Teacher
2. Learner
3. Curriculum
4. Milieu or context

Fascinating! This is what I have found to be true also. The 3-person model is also founded on such ideas. Fascinating. I will have to read more on Joseph Schwab.

There is a priority of ideas. In everything we write, we have to determine what is most important.

We need to cut down text by 50% and then cut down the remaining text by 50%.

Every design I make is a trade-off (Want to do vs. Must do).
