I can not imagine going to my computer everyday or facing a blank paper with the charge of writing about something I did not care about. This conversation makes me wonder, how many students don't know that's where good writing comes from! Great lesson! Wow- this gave me goosebumps!

Are they really learning? by Angela Maiers http://mskranzusch.edublogs.org/2009/01/25/are-we-really-teaching-are-they-really-learning/comment-page-1/#comment-50 Angela Maiers Mon, 26 Jan 2009 14:40:31 +0000 http://mskranzusch.edublogs.org/?p=141#comment-50 Tracy- You are right on! These are two of the most important questions we can ask as individual educators, cohort teams, and entire systems. I would add this question as well: Are the students learning skills and strategies that will afford them success beyond our classroom content? Teacher would/could/have argued that students are "learning" because of the answers to our questions, filled in blanks on a test, or high grades. We want to position learning in a broader context and scope to represent the competencies needed for 21st century success-yes? You just keep on...keep on thinking, writing, blogging, advocating, and most importantly teaching! You are an inspiration to your colleagues and to your students! Tracy- You are right on!
