?? Advocates and Critics

Here are some recent snippets from my weekly review. Each week I look back and record what I’ve been thinking, reading, and experiencing in the classroom and in life. Learn. Do. Reflect. Do Better. Celebrate. Repeat.

• Teach students to be both advocates and critics. It prepares them for real-world challenges.
• Student ownership of learning increases with authentic audiences.
• Where can students take off their armor in your school?
• John Wooden wisdom: “Be more concerned with your character than your reputation.”
• It’s good for students to know that their teacher doesn’t hold delusions of perfection.
• If you want more fun and enjoyment in the classroom, you have to take some time to plan more fun and joy in your classroom.
• Often, “Just Enough” is exactly the right amount.
• Express yourself, and then let it go and move on.
