And a ...Another thoughtful/insightful post, Scott. And a good reminder that teaching and assigning are NOT the same thing. AND, a nudge for me to be an active reader and writer, aware of my own processes so that my teaching tips are authentic, doable, and clear. In my rush to finish a unit, to get something posted on Powerschool, to get 'em ready for high school, it's even more imperative that I remember that my role is like Coach Oscar's. If I (we) teach skills in manageable/doable ways, if kids have time to practice, and if the skills we teach are authentic (meaning: transferable), then our students will become more confident, joyful learners . . . just like Isabelle. Lots to ponder as I keep learning to become more effective. Thanks again, Scott.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
