"The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery." ~Mark Van Doren
As the Spring semester concludes, I must admit that this quote resonated with me because it closely related to the material we covered in class. When it comes to teaching students, learning is a process of discovery. As Language Arts teachers, we must guide the reading path of discovery: from words, to sentences, and into ideas. As teachers, we guide our students into that journey of learning new things and ideas,the complex process of discovering and rediscovering.
Awesome quote! I used it in my Live Text Portfolio...Teachers do assist their students in making discoveries whether it is in the classroom, at home or in the community.
