What can I do to prevent students from just getting by?
Show what it means to be a learner.
Pestalozzi - Must pick up the crumb.
Follow different trains of thought. Show that there isn't one correct way of learning.
Empowering Students to Learn
Teach them the benefits of working hard.
In the classroom I can get to know each student personally. I can talk to them one on one to see how they are doing.
Racism. Why it is so important.
I think teaching children about the Brown Vs. Board case is very important. It is something they can relate to. It is a very powerful story.
Du Bois - Equality. All children, regardless of race or color deserve and need an education.
Gratitude
Help the students imagine what it would feel like to grow up in that day and age.
Rousseau - Feels education system is restricted. Not open to new ideas.
Try new things in the classroom. Do something that has never been done before.
What about them inspired you to learn?
I feel that sharing these examples with the students is very important. They can decide what kind of person they want to be based off of these examples.
Do an experiment in class where the students spend the day or part of the day teaching each other, then reporting what they learned.
Are hundreds of work sheets really going to teach a student?
Wolk - Worksheets lead to a devoid in original thoughts and ideas.
Creativity in the learning place drives new learning experiences.
How can I accomplish this?
Resources such as books, teachers blogs, seminars, Ted Talks.
Building a Foundation
Create a foundation of self belief.
Create an environment where the child finds himself excited to ask questions and learn for himself.
Have a system where I give students a compliment about how they are doing in class. I would write it out and give it to them personally. Each student would get one and nobody would get more than anyone else. This would help them see that they are good students and have potential to learn even more.
John Dewey - Believed that a students education came from the power of his or her social environment.
Self motivation is key to learning.
How do I help students become self motivated?
I believe it comes through example.
Share with the students what you have learned that week that has nothing to do with what we are talking about in class.
Horace Mann - First thing he talks about is each childs ability to become whatever they want to become.
Pray for that ability when I am a teacher.
Each day in class I could do a positive activity that would help all of us get to know each other better. Thus creating an environment of friendship and confidence.
Empowering Students to Learn
John Dewey - "I believe.." Each one of Deweys lines in his pedagogic decree starts with "I believe".
Write a list of things that I believe in. This will help me see how I can act on my beliefs and make a difference.
