This week I began reading a new professional book, think differently and a few things really stuck out to me. Take a moment to reflect on the following quotes from the author. I hope some resonate with you and bring some clarity to teaching.
-Sometimes educators try to offer fixes for student situations when our role should be to do the following instead:
1. Empathize, not solve
2. Propose, not expect
3. Offer, not demand
4. Ask, not tell
5. Listen, not talk
6. Show kindness, not just politeness
-By learning the finesse of appreciation, we disrupt our traditional thinking patterns to immerse ourselves into the opportunities to think differently
-In reality, there is no one means of engagement that will be optimal for all learners and contexts. We want to value ourselves and the learners.
-Resilience and hope- the social neuroscience that we all need to spark the drive for the new learning- comes from the emotional part of the brain.
