Thinking-Oriented Teachers
The Elementary Educator —
Authority: 120
It’s not just students who need to think. In yesterday’s post I asked, “How much time do students actually spend thinking during a typical school day?” My implied answer, of course, is “not much.” The students are too busy doing things to think as much as they should. I would argue that the same ...2 weeks ago -

Authority: 103
Some boys are reluctant readers, and when they do read, it’s not Junie B. Jones . Boys like non-fiction – dinosaurs, bats, and things that go bump in the night. Books with cool pictures of hairy cavemen carrying strategically placed clubs, or of a lion gutting an impala. Books with a high gross-out factor. ...3 weeks ago -
