I cannot believe how quickly the last few months have passed by. I have been busy visiting classrooms and enjoying the opportunity to observe the work of our new teachers....what an amazing privilege!
As we approach the well deserved break, I invite you to take some time to reflect on and think about a few questions & in turn, post some comments:
How can we improve student engagement in learning?
This may be a very ambiguous question to answer, but it is one of the most important issues to consider when working with our young people. We need to think deeply about our students...
the 21st century learner... and their individual learning needs. We must examine and revisit traditional teaching pedagogy and upgrade our daily classroom practices with student engaging pedagogy.
So, what is student engaging pedagogy?
How can we create classroom conditions that elevate learning opportunities for all students?
Our work is sensitive and critical. How we design learning for our students today, will affect them for the rest of their lives.
Not only is it important for students to learn today, but is equally -if not more - important for students to strengthen and develop the capacity to learn for all of their tomorrows.
