I agree we need to challenge ourselves, searching for the direction our students are headed. We are not the keepers of knowledge (assuming what we teach is sacred and encompassing); we should be the bearers (delivering knowledge and certainly opportunities for students to make discoveries and investments in their learning). I truly believe this. <BR/><BR/>What I wonder, though, is how to do this? I know this group is searching (Karl is on overdrive), looking for ways to bring the future closer for our students. At the DuFour conference I just went to, he said that often, we get so bogged down in the "urgent" pieces sitting on our desks, blinking in email, and saved on our cells, that we often forget what's "important" in education. The day to day tasks so often take over.Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14779484407179923392noreply@blogger.com
