Thank
you, Jamie, for sharing! This is a great
“Mush and Flush” article that she found from a home school resource. It is about how we, as educators, can destroy
a child’s love of learning. It is scary
the power we have…we can inspire or tear down…
This
weekend take a moment and reflect of those…do any happen in your
classroom? If you can identify them in
an honest and transparent way, you can fix them. We all have areas that need to be addressed,
and the true heart is shown when we are willing to look at them and make
changes to become better.
Some
of the comments on the blog are spot on too.
We spend a lot of time in education doing things “the way it was done
when we were in school.” That isn’t
always the best method to choose how to teach.
Sometimes we think that we “hold all the knowledge,” so we have to be in
charge of all aspects of learning.
Student ownership and choice is a HUGE piece of the education
puzzle. Students need to buy in to what
we are selling. Makes our jobs so much
easier.
This
weekend and throughout Spring Break during your refection time…think of ways
that allow students a better way to be truly engaged in the learning. How can we truly create project-based
learning…how can our stations be effective…how can students own their
education?
I
hope everyone has a great Friday and a wonderful Spring Break!
