This and the next two posts come from Rembert and Lydia's Best Practice Presentation in section 3. The two of us have had conversations over the past few months about ideas & concepts within teaching and learning that interest us. As we’ve been teaching we’ve also had real-life situations in which to examine those ideas in relation to actual students. Rembert and Lydia picked three broad themes from our conversations; we invite you to consider them for yourself and to add your own thoughts. We posed questions in class relating to each theme, and hope that you will now post your reflections to this blog so that we can all continue these conversations as we strive to develop disciplined habits of mind.
First theme: Environment
How do you plan lessons and activities that allow both student and teacher to actively process, discover, and evolve rather than transmit from some old, dead place?
How do you address your students’ vulnerabilities in the class—either physical, intellectual, or emotional?
