Why give 30-50+ questions on an assignment? Is the goal to see if they'll comply and do it, or is the goal to learn?
Focus on big ideas and supporting them with evidence. #depthofknowledge#HackingSchoolDiscipline#teachergoals
Dear Students,
Your intelligence cannot be measured by a number. Your intelligence is defined by your willingness to learn and try new things. You are more than a number. You are a brilliant person with unique ideas. Share them!
Sincerely,
Your Teachers โค๏ธ
I want to reinforce to my students that we do not just read books to be entertained (though that, too, is important). We read books to enlarge our understanding of others---to step out of our rich cultural bubbles and to see the world through multiple lenses.
