I am going to make conscious efforts to..,
- Replace the word ‘students’ with LEARNERS;
- Replace the word ‘teacher’ with ‘Facilitator’, ‘Designer’ or ‘Inspiration’;
- Replace ‘school’ and ‘classroom’ with ‘Learning Environment’, or ‘Home’ or ‘Community’;
- Give the gift of ‘Yet’ more often’;
- Let people know its about learners;
- Reflect on conversations, plans and results intently;
- Model the best of what we have and where we need to go;
- Drop what isn’t benefitting facilitators and learners;
- Help others find joy in serving
studentsLEARNERS,; - Replace ‘classroom management’ and ‘expectations’ with ‘Understandings’;
- Ask ‘Why’ and ‘What if’ daily;
- Get my 15000 steps in by being all about my school;
- Embrace the value and hard work of learner-centered > teacher-centered;
- Commit to genuine conversations;
- Listen a lot more;
- Ask learners what made their day great and what we can do to make it better.
