Please comment on this post and include your thinking in regards to each of the following questions. After you have commented, make sure to reply to a couple of your classmates.
1. Please tell (the condensed version) about a time when a student was legitimately bored to death in your class.
2. In what ways is your school or classroom designed to create good factory workers? In what ways have you broken out of this?
3. What is the most important thing about your students? Clearly, it is not their "date of manufacture." :)
4. How can you (or how do you already) show students that their divergent thinking and creativity are truly valued by you and their community?
5. How do you (or how could you) model and teach true collaboration? Move beyond the much-loved "turn and talk."
