Hey #EDU407 as We Consider Theories of Meaning Making and #Literacies Where Does Knowledge Count?

Can you understand the paragraph below:

Currently, Philadelphia holds an Expected Goals Created Per 60 rate of 7.72 during 5-on-4 situations — third in the NHL. Their actual 5-on-4 Goals For per 60 rate, however, sits at 4.58, a minus-3.14 gap between the expected number and real life. How does that match up with other NHL teams since 2010 (excluding the lockout half-season)? It’s actually the biggest discrepancy of the decade.

No team this decade has finished with as large of a gap between the xG-related process and actual results on the power play than the Flyers, and it’s not particularly close, either. One piece of (possibly?) good news for the Flyers...? The 2015-16 Leafs [the team with the next worst rate all time] famously rode weak goaltending and an unsustainably poor power play to the worst record in hockey that season, earning the No. 1 overall pick and Auston Matthews as a result of the draft lottery. Sound like a familiar process?The Athletic

What prior knowledge do you need to read? And if knowledge matters more than any particular strategy what knowledge do we teach?

Dan Willingham talks about this often, and you may come across the philosophy if you work in a district that uses the Core Knowledge curriculum built on the ideas of E.D. Hirsch and Willingham.
