    Some of these might be interesting to consider not only for ourselves but also if we want to come up with our own set of Habits of Mind which are most applicable to our students....resilience, grit, etc.

    I remember doing this in Junior High English and then in Linguistics at uni. Does it serve any purpose in helping students understand sentence structure?

  • Teachers learn to teach primarily by recalling their memories of having been taught, an average of 13,000 hours of instruction over a typical childhood.
  • Left to their own devices, teachers are once again trying to incorporate new ideas into old scripts, often botching them in the process.
  • how rarely teachers discussed their teaching methods

  • More distressing to Takahashi was that American teachers had almost no opportunities to watch one another teach.
  • Of all the lessons Japan has to offer the United States, the most important might be the belief in patience and the possibility of change. Japan, after all, was able to shift a country full of teachers to a new approach.
  • Most policies aimed at improving teaching conceive of the job not as a craft that needs to be taught but as a natural-born talent that teachers either decide to muster or don’t possess. Instead of acknowledging that changes like the new math are something teachers must learn over time, we mandate them as “standards” that teachers are expected to simply “adopt.” We shouldn’t be surprised, then, that their students don’t improve.

    Last year about this time in an AAS/NZAS meeting an article about 10 short assessments was looked at. The team then created some suggested applications of these. This article has extended that list and has some good ideas for wrapping up the term. PS If anyone wants a copy of the concrete ideas from last year, let me know.
