"..if we live life right, we truly understand that we are but spokes on the great wheel of life and that which endangers one spoke endangers the entire wheel.  Our work is to strengthen the wheel by strengthening each individual spoke.  We are all a part of the wheel.  And we are all a part of the flock.

“When a teacher expresses genuine emotion and a belief in a child’s ability to do better, that is a message that many children are eager to hear, regardless of the medium.”

When we encounter children in our classes who are not performing, the likely culprit is not that they do not have the innate ability or the capacity to accomplish the tasks, the reality is that they have not engaged in sufficient practice. P. 153

“When students doubt their own competence, they typically respond with two behaviors: they either hide (hoods over faces, heads on desks) and try to become invisible, or they act out to prevent a scenario unfolding in which they will not be able to perform and will once again be proved "less than." Teachers frequently misinterpret both of these behaviors, usually inferring that the student is unmotivated, uninterested, or behavior disordered.”

“Assessment is a lot trickier than we think, especially if the children we are assessing are not from the same culture as the test makers.”

This speaks to me because we have a way we learned how to teach and we always have to adjust. Some of our prettiest "stone" students just need a different cut or setting. :)

Every human brain has the built-in capacity to become, over time, what we demand of it. No ability is fixed. Practice can even change the brain.

"If we can see all of the children we teach - skin color, culture, learning styles, income level notwithstanding - as complete, deserving, brilliant human beings, then perhaps we will manage to create the educational system we need. Education for all children should be "special" - that is, specially designed to discover the strengths and accommodate the needs of the child."

when a teacher is familiar with aspects of a child's culture, then the teacher may be better able to assess the child's competence.

if what is meaningful and important to a teacher is to become meaningful and important to a student, the student must feel valued by teachers for his or her potential as a person.

Although we sometimes seem to act to the contrary, there is no real dichotomy between teaching, "basic skills," and insisting that children learn to think critically.
