What matters most

Image
Students are the reason why we prepare our lessons every day. We work hard to give them the best education possible. We are used to be the leaders and we forget to give them the opportunity to lead. We tend to think that they know nothing, and we know it all. But what if we allow them to be the ones that teach us. What if we open the doors that will guide them throughout their lives. On this video, Katherine Cadwell talks about those things that can help us understand how we, as educators, can be the ones that open the doors and show them that they matter and that we can learn from them.

Classroom Management

At the beginning of the school year, students come to the classroom with different ideas in their minds about what they are going to do in the classroom. Behavior is one of the things that we all want to keep under control because we want the students to succeed in our classes. If we don't have a good classroom management system, the students will do whatever they want because they want to be in control and sometimes, they make choices that are not good for the class. On the video, Amanda Rose is giving us good, simple tips that are essential to manage the classroom.

  Olathe Leadership Lowrider Bike club - Search Results | Facebook   When we think about innovated classrooms, we must have an open mind and think out of the box. The Olathe Leadership Lowrider Bike Club is an example of how teachers can provide a real-life experience to the students. This club was created a couple of years ago by an educator, Mr. Erazo, who wanted to provide the students with the opportunity to do something meaningful for themselves and the community. This club started at Olathe North High School and is expanding to a different area of the nation. 

The system

When we think about innovation, we get excited because we know that we are going to do something extraordinary. Many ideas cross our minds, and we cannot wait to implement those ideas because they are going to make a difference. What about innovation in the school system? What can we do to improve what we see as conventional? On her TED blog, Kate Torngovnick talks about innovation in the school system and what it takes to make it happen. Kate says,  “Innovation in education is about more than just technology. It’s about how you can use technology to empower students to become lifelong learners who are agents of change.” https://blog.ted.com/a-new-program-asks-educators-to-innovate/
