Rita Pearson:
Make connections, be an actor. And be real and inspire students to believe they can learn well and that their opinions matter.
I like her second rant about how teachers will come to school when they don't want to, nod their heads at policy that doesn't make sense and teach anyway. Can we keep the personal real and protected within what is institutional?
Teens Talk:
It certainly seems like our students do what this young woman does: skim the surface so she can pass the exam.
In her talk it seems like what motivates and inspires her is her teachers' passions and willingness to share their interests and conversation with students...a willingness to make teaching and learning personal and creative. Our students are scared to think on their own because they only want to get the right answer. Taking a risk in front of their peers to raise their hand and make a comment takes so much energy and thinking to build in a class...especially in larger ones. I'd like to help students embrace intellectual risk and see it as part of the learning process.
