We Need Teachers, Not Facilitators! : Stager-to-Go - 0 views

  • Teachers expert in inspiring long-term, personally meaningful and interdisciplinary projects or thematic instruction regularly exceed the standards, but that realization is lost on facilitators.
  • New teachers have little or no experience with classroom centers, independent work, student projects and the sorts of agency that allow children to enjoy the “flow” experiences that build upon their obsessions and lead to understanding. Even when teachers are not lecturing from bell-to-bell, the classroom agenda is top-down and leaves little chance for serendipity or student initiative.
  • Great teachers know their students in deeper ways than any data can provide. They ask kids about their weekends. They chat about what kids are reading and console them when their hamster dies
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • They learn continuously for themselves and their students. Teachers share their love of reading and are patrons of the arts. They are active citizens and engage students in current events. Outstanding teachers are not afraid to appear silly or create a whimsical classroom environment. They play in the snow with kindergarteners like Maria Knee.
  • great teachers need to be passionate, competent and interesting humans beyond the scope and sequence of the curriculum.
  • oday, new teachers truly are facilitators. They are “trained” to manage classrooms and deliver the curriculum handed to them.

    An important post about teaching to reflect on.

  •  
    An important post from a friend and colleague, David Jakes, technology director for a major Chicago school district. This may help you see just how much some schools ARE moving forward while others are sitting on the sidelines due to lack of vision, understanding, and participation.
