    The Maker-infused Curriculum - Making as essential to all learning "Making in education and the community is already underway in many different forms. Educators have found that students and people who have not developed confidence and identity in STEAM subjects through traditional courses have a different relationship to STEAM learning when embraced through the process of Making. Making encourages experimentation - students can make mistakes and still have confidence and a strong sense of identity to pursue their interests."- New York Hall of Science.

Five Practices That Could Transform Your Coaching - The Art of Coaching Teachers - Educ... - 1 views

  • It takes tremendous practice to manage our distractible minds, and while I strongly encourage all of us to make efforts towards quieting our minds, I also know that it's a long journey to a Buddha-like mind.
  • I use active listening because it reminds me that while someone else is talking, and while my own mind is wandering around, after that person stops talking I will need to respond with some kind of statement that indicates that I non-judgmentally heard what they were saying.
  • Every time I ask coaches to spend 20-30 minutes planning a conversation, they come out of it with almost visible light bulbs above their heads, with epiphanous smiles on their faces. Yes, it is that powerful of an experience. It makes you feel confident and prepared, it deepens your empathy for your client, it warms up your mental pathways so that the words have already coursed through them and are primed to come out in the moment.

Hobson and Harding “listened more than they talked,” Knight said. “They were one hundred per cent present in the conversation.” They also parcelled out their observations carefully. “It’s not a normal way of communicating—watching what your words are doing,” he said. They had discomfiting information to convey, and they did it directly but respectfully.
