I believe we may get stuck in a paradigm of learning only happens one way.  We get used to the idea and don't allow ourselves to open up to other ways of thinking/processing.

Teachers can be inflexible and want control over their classrooms. The video mentioned neural plasticity; it is harder to change the older we get.

Yes

Yes doesn't matter where you are at in life. we at times make things difficult to move forward and when we need to retrain ourselves its a challenge.

I think that often times teachers are just expected to ride the backwards bike without a provision for time and energy. The biggest limitation riding the backwards bike is our fear of falling off, over and over. It takes dedication, risks, and perseverance to overcome.  And it helps to be able to laugh at your wipeouts!

Our kids are able to quickly pick up new modes and means of communication, but as adults we often fall in to a habit of communication that we don't like straying from. Like the man in the video, being willing to try new methods of doing the same old thing can help us see things from a new perspective. We might not pick things up as easily as children, but we still need to exercise our communication skills and try new things, and the more we do it, the easier it becomes.

Yes, the amount of energy required to do so is often allocated elsewhere in the teaching profession. It doesn't hurt to keep trying though! Taking positive risks for the benefit of our students is important.

Interesting - this is about like the teachers this year with the new math program - teaching in a different way.  Love that the younger your brain is it is easier to learn & understand new items and more willing - then the older people that have been doing it the same way.

Yes because we have an idea of our teaching style will be like and then as we learn new things we change to fit our students and I think that we do not even think about going back to original plan we had when we started

Very interesting perspective!  This applies to all of us. We get comfortable, we could almost do our lessons in our sleep.  Then, it just takes one thing, one moment to wake us up and challenge us!  We realize there are other ways to do things and then we can't remember why we ever did it the way we were doing it!  Great video, I look forward to sharing it!

I think we all have an area of our lives or careers where our thinking gets formulaic and rely on what we have done in the past.  Human tend to gravitate towards familiarity and comfort, and sometimes it's hard to break out of that zone.

Amazing illustration of what it takes to get teachers to do something a different way and also how easily students can learn new things. How much fun he had once he was able to adapt to the change!

I think this is a great example of what happens with many teachers.  Most educators get in a pattern of what works for them and are intimidated to try something different or new.  As teachers, we are on stage almost all day long. We have a captive audience (many of whom would rather be somewhere else) and in my opinion most teachers are afraid of admitting they aren't the expert in what they are sharing with their students.  Trying something new increases the probability of an unforeseen outcome.
