Gaps & Bridges In Teaching & Learning
The relationship between teaching and learning often dealt with polemically: in black and white OR as indeterminable. How does a classroom teacher figure it out?
Now let’s talk about the hard stuff.
I think about the last two periods on a Friday when I teach Core Literacy to my Year Sevens. The list of challenges looms ever higher: the absentees I need to follow up on, the many requests to have a drink or go to the toilet, and the overwhelming, relentless effort I need to enact to help students remain focused on the planned work.
Role Play In Teaching & Learning
All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.
