What teachers need to do, Noam Chomsky on assessment | Teaching using web tools - 0 views

  • It doesn’t matter what we cover, it matters what you discover.”
  • That’s what teaching ought to be; inspiring students to discover on their own, to challenge if they don’t agree, to look for alternatives if they think there are better ones, to work through the great achievements of the past and try to master them on their own because they’re interested in them.
  • education is really aimed to just helping students get to the point where they can learn on their own because that’s what you’re going to do for your life, not just to absorb materials given to you from the outside and repeat it.
