The Act of Teaching
To teach is to plan a series of activities for students to participate in that helps them see, feel, or experience something that is new.
It is my job to communicate to students what their learning target is for each lesson. It is my job to lead them down a path that will get them to that target, paying close attention for wrong turns and false starts. It is my job to ensure that they understand how this path relates to their target, and then check to make sure they went down the right path and discovered what was intended for them to learn. |
