21st Century Learning 4 Teachers

3/28/2015

The idea that I as a teacher with experience in teaching knowledge over so many years is now obsolete is threatening! But what I have discovered is that we hold deep in our subconscious a extremely valuable resource that only I have the key to drive. This resource is the combined knowledge and skill of learning how to build quality relationships with students, that in turn enables me to motivate.

I have this activity that I do to show kids how important learning is and it goes like this:

Student D

Work for 1 minute per day on the subjects you had that day!

You have that subject 3 times a week!

You have 40 weeks in a year!

How much work has he/she done in a year?

Student A

Works for 10 minutes per day on the subjects you had for that day!

You have that subject 3 times a week!

You have 40 weeks in a year!

How much work has he/she done in a year?

Do you think MOTIVATION plays a role in what you know?

That's the activity its a good one, but today I used this on myself! This is what happened!

I build relationships with roughly 25 students per lesson!

I have on average 5 lessons per day!

In a year I do this for 40 weeks in a classroom environment!

I have been doing this for 23 years!

Do you think I know how to build relationships that will foster learning of new skills and knowledge for students even if I don't know the content and they do?

115 000 interactions suddenly I realised that this was more about me being there to support, create pathways, guide, celebrate and love learning with, rather than the giving of knowledge!
