There are several things that happen in a "typical" classroom that many of us remember happening when we were the kids ages. 

We have to think about how our kids are changing and how their thinking is changing. When you look at something like technology for example, kids now have phones and computers at such a young age, we have to start thinking about how we can reach them and incorporate learning into their interests. We need to think about how we can take the fact that they have knowledge at the tips of their fingers and ask them to think through problems. ]]> 2023-10-05 20:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ruth_parrott/u6x19s37hup8z79s/wish/2734558947 ruth_parrott https://padlet.com/ruth_parrott/u6x19s37hup8z79s/wish/2734559242 This seems like so much longer when you are in front of students.

I think it's gotten to the point where kids avoid truly engaging with the content out of fear of being wrong (lack of confidence or experience), which just builds on itself each year. ]]> 2023-10-05 20:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ruth_parrott/u6x19s37hup8z79s/wish/2734559385 https://padlet.com/ruth_parrott/u6x19s37hup8z79s/wish/2734559459 I feel like we (as teacher and adults) are always asking kids what they know or what they have learned (which is good). But we rarely ask them what they THINK. So when we ask kids to think, they won't take risks and share what they really do think or wonder.

The math worked out to be this: "In a typical one-hour lesson, 75%-85% of the students exhibited non-thinking behavior 100% of the time."]]> 2023-10-05 20:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ruth_parrott/u6x19s37hup8z79s/wish/2734559932 mariannepennybaker https://padlet.com/ruth_parrott/u6x19s37hup8z79s/wish/2734560197 I agreed with this and thought it was almost funny how it named every single behavior I see everyday.
