The Vessel in which the Force is Driven!!

Chapter 5
The third cog and completion of our differentiating mechanism!!
Curriculum and Instruction as the Vehicle
Important
Focused
Engaging
Demanding
Scaffolded

Memorization of material is a poor poor way to try and learn something. Instead one should learn to make meaning of any given information and tools of how to figure other information to solve problems!!! Precision and understanding must come from teacher in student. Both must share in knowledge of why they are learning what the are learning. Make it fun!! Make it hands-on!! Make it unique and interesting!! Inquiry!! Scaffold them in their individual and class ZPD!!!

The student can have needs, the teacher can respond to those needs, but without anything to learn and a great way to learn it then there is not point to the clock and it won't work!!! The three must interact together!! I think this is so true and so important. The curriculum, the teacher, and the student must work with one another for optimum learning to occur!! I hope I can bring all three of things together in my own class.

Fav Point:

  • Balancing knowledge, understanding, and skill.
    • We have to some of all three and we have to make them work together equally!!
