Interview Questions

Here is a place to post your potential interview questions.  That way you can learn from each other and see how you are each approaching this assignment.

Ayers and LSI

I really enjoyed the conversations in class yesterday. I felt as if we are starting to unpack the difference between teaching and learning.  As you enter into completing your LSI, I hope you do so through the lens of learning and what you think Ayers (and Smith if you have time) would say about your style.  Also, as you observe your adolescent, keep the LSI and Ayers in mind.
As you left class and drove home (or changed a tire) what was still rolling around in your head.  As you enter your classroom today how are you thinking about learning?

Have a wonderful day as you see the learners around you.

Welcome

I am so excited to spend the semester together as we learn about learning.  I hope this can be a space where we can question, try and push. If we use this Eleanor Duckworth quote to frame our thinking and actions I believe we will be successful as a learning community:

Use the class discussion not as a place to present ideas you have been sure about all along, but as a place to try out your newly-forming ideas, counting on help from the other members of the class in asking you questions and thoughts that will help you keep thinking about it.
