R Sutton's curator insight, May 20, 2015 7:22 PM

I am too often seeing reference to modern learning environments as if they are the critical key to improving learning. In my opinion they are not. It is the extent to which we can enable learners to take control (student efficacy) and the degree to which we can act as coaches/mentors and fellow learners that we will create improvement. We must be prepared to step outside the norm, but we have to be careful not to throw the baby out with the bathwater, and we must be careful to ensure that our practice is evidence informed. Teaching as Inquiry is critical to improvement.

A strong personality is not strength Dionne Kasian-Lew

A strong personality is not strength


Strength is complex and sometimes difficult to practice.

  • A strong person will challenge unacceptable behaviour even though it’s uncomfortable and they would rather not and they know there will be no reward for doing so.
  • A strong person also knows when to lie flat like grass to weather the storm. They know it’s better to bend than to break. We call this ’knowing which hill to fight on’.
  • A strong person finds the internal discipline not to erupt when they would like nothing better than to shriek like a harpy or frighten others into submission through their rage. They understand the trade off between short-term release and long-term relationship.
  • A strong person knows life is not the high notes or the low notes but the accumulated interactions of daily life. Like everyone they get angry – but not all the time and when they do – they try express it directly. This takes ongoing work.
  • A strong person can say –
    -You have a point
    -I didn’t know that
    -You know I was wrong when I said
    -I am not sure I agree with you
    -I agree with you there

Classroom Catalysts: Inventive Teachers Ignite Self-Guided Learning

Classroom Catalysts: Inventive Teachers Ignite Self-Guided Learning | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Most teachers bring a wealth of practical experience with them to the classroom, serving as role models of what can be achieved and mentoring students through the steps to success. Like a wise parent or a supportive boss, a versatile teacher who is both mentor and role model can inspire, coach, and motivate the next generation. Teachers with practical experience and willingness to explore are especially motivating to future entrepreneurs and innovators: people who take ideas and put them into action.
