“Learner-centered instruction encourages students to construct their own knowledge and understandings. Good teachers design their lessons with students’ learning—rather than their own performance—in mind” (Ormrod, 2019, p. 229).

The Weekend Ed. Quote this week is courtesy of one of my Teacher/Graduate students!
“I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success. Great things come from hard work and perseverance. No excuses.” ~Kobe Bryant
From the teacher/graduate student, “When the kids first read that quote, they’re like, wow, that is harsh and kind of mean. I have them write whether or not they agree with the quote and their reasons why or why not. Then we talk about their answers, debate a little bit, and then I ask them to think about it again and tell me if any of their classmates have changed their minds about their answers. I pair this with professionalism and ethics and have them think about the quote in that context.”

“Students involved in maker and STEAM activities will see the invention process as a journey toward achievement or success…The journey begins with a call to adventure- a challenge that must be undertaken- that disrupts the comfort of the potential hero’s ordinary world.” ~Dr. Nettrice Gaskins, Techno-Vernacular Creativity and Innovation, p. 43.

“Art is the window to man’s soul. Without it, he would never be able to see beyond his immediate world; nor could the world see the man within.” ~Claudia Lady Bird Johnson

“I’ve learned to balance my personal and professional lives like a nurse triaging emergency patients: by determining which role requires my attention right now. Borrowing an analogy from author James Patterson, I imagine that I am juggling a set of balls representing work, family, friends, and spirit. Each ball is made of either rubber or glass, and the material changes with the circumstances. If I drop a rubber ball, it bounces back. However, a fumbled glass ball may chip or even shatter. The trick is knowing when a ball is rubber and when it’s glass.” ~ Emma White, The Art of Triage
