Week 4-Reading

As teachers we are definitely responsible for lighting the spark in our students but we sometimes wonder how. Most of our students are not amazed by anything we do or say. It's just teenage natural to see parents and teachers as uncool.

So it is our job to outwit them by letting them find of light their own spark. Or let them think they are lighting their own spark. This can be done by simply becoming more a facilitator of learning whether than a teacher of learning. Allow room for error in yourself as well as in your students. You will that you both may be finding a spark.

  1. You got it, we need to do what always believed was the best model of an educator, to be a facilitator and coach. Let them discover and uncover. Especially the disenfranchised students who think that they know it all, they have the greatest potential when it comes the ground that they can covered once they've reconnected with their learning.
