Se você perguntar a um aluno o que o torna bem sucedido na escola, provavelmente você não ouvirá sobre de algum livro fantástico novo ou série de palestras . Muito provavelmente você vai ouvir algo como: "Foi tudo o Sr. Jones. Ele simplesmente nunca desistiu de mim. "

"College and career ready is a very common theme these days. As with any catch-phrase, many educators are most likely sick of hearing it. The longer you stay in any profession the more at risk you are of hearing new phrases year after year, which may just have the same definitions as the old phrase. They're just new words. Unfortunately, too many educators have that attitude that what is old is new again. And too many feel that way about technology. They feel it is a passing fad that has no place in schools."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Do you think your students are learning ready? Are the educators in your school putting students first? This post explores these questions. The list below is some of what we as educators may do to encourage students to be learning ready (quoted from post). * Listen to them -- it sounds easy and it should be. However, sometimes we get so caught up in what needs to be done, that we forget those things are being done to our students * Encourage Risk-taking -- Encourage students to offer ideas. If they want to add something to a conversation, educators should listen and then encourage them to further their research about it. * One right answer -- Some questions have one right answer, but many others have different answers which offer different pathways to learning. For additional ways to encourage students and a more in-depth look at these issues check out the post.

This is not a completely comprehensive list, however, it is a good idea for trying to focus our priorities in a job that is so multifaceted that it is often overwhelming. I might consider reorganizing the list into action items and philosophical items, and choose one or two a week to focus on.
