The question isn’t just academic. When related to education I think it really
has some significance.
Of course we have all the data driven, test score driven administrative tom
follery. I’m not going to discuss this silly stuff. If you can’t see that
emperor has no clothes, well, then dream on…..
No, I want to look at how teachers make decisions in their own classroom. Are
we like Apple, generals and experts that know and with our charts, handouts,
videos, textbooks – steering the ship of students? Or are we listening to
students and letting them take hold of the wheel and allowing them to steer the
ship?
