"Slow and steady wins the race" -Aesop
I like this quote because it suggests that something negative can be turned into a positive. Sometimes, we need to allow the students to evolve and grow at their own pace. The best we can do is nurture and guide them to the path that will lead the individual to success.
As mentioned in Chapter One and Two of the text, we need to familiarize ourselves with the way the students learn, and implement strategies that will mold student learning. With such diversity, some learners will be ahead, some will be behind. However, we do not simply give up on those who have fallen behind. We pace them and guide them until they are ready to be great on their own.
On an unrelated note, it was really great meeting everyone today!

It is great to see that we are all on the same page Simon. The reminders to ask ourselves from where are students' thinking and what are their goals is just as important. Glad to be along side you in this great adventure.
ReplyDeleteGreat meeting you again Simon. I agree, not all students learn and think alike. It is our responsibility to help them evolve into the person and reader they ought to be. Great quote!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you Simon. Awesome quote! Yes, sometimes we focus too often in the negative when as teachers, we should look at the positive. We should always remember our responsibility as educators and duty as servant leaders to guide and nurture our students to their successes.
