For four years I lived in an ashram (Hindu monastery) and studied ancient Eastern texts like the Mahabharat and Srimadbhagavatam. I draw inspiration from the wisdom of these teachings and from my own spiritual teacher. ]]> 2020-04-15 21:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewdeskins108/zmx6ue1timzxe3s8/wish/509472571 Enjoyable Experiences matthewdeskins108 https://padlet.com/matthewdeskins108/zmx6ue1timzxe3s8/wish/509474703 I enjoy the funny quarks of each child I am fortune to tutor/teach. No child is alike and thus their personalities are an endless source of fascination and entertainment as well haha. ]]> 2020-04-15 21:37:48 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewdeskins108/zmx6ue1timzxe3s8/wish/509474703 Brook's Reading matthewdeskins108 https://padlet.com/matthewdeskins108/zmx6ue1timzxe3s8/wish/509477390 One of the valuable takeaways I got from the reading was the difference between competition and the autonomous approach to formal assessment. I think each has a different motivation and the author makes valid points about the questionable practices of traditional assessment.


In the context of my own education, I remember all the students (myself included) checking grades with peers to see how each did. This acted as a sense of self-esteem and self-value that didn't truly reflect who we are as people. ]]> 2020-04-15 21:40:04 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewdeskins108/zmx6ue1timzxe3s8/wish/509477390
