He or she will merely learn to replicate what the teacher did without truly "getting" the concept being taught.

You can’t develop a top footballer without allowing them to practice, try, fail, and try again. The same goes for what we want from our students. Most classrooms are so busy avoiding wrong answers they maintain and develop dependent learners who check with teacher before making any step forward.]]> 2016-07-10 03:21:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mrlloyd025/7ap0fin2rb7i/wish/116152253 mrlloyd025 https://padlet.com/mrlloyd025/7ap0fin2rb7i/wish/116152428 The problem for students is not that they make mistakes.

Imagine having a classroom of students who are engaged and constantly improving -- it's every teacher's dream. Instead, teachers face too many students who are disengaged and really rather surly. That surliness is years in the making. By the time students walk into your classroom, they've likely already internalized their mistakes as evidence that they're just not smart.]]> 2016-07-10 03:55:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mrlloyd025/7ap0fin2rb7i/wish/116152876 mrlloyd025 https://padlet.com/mrlloyd025/7ap0fin2rb7i/wish/116153460 Whether you instruct first grade or university students, take some time to think about where you are with creating a learning space where your students have ample voice, engage frequently with each other, and are given opportunities to make choices. When considering various teaching approaches, balance is the key word.
