"Behaviour that needs to be learned, needs to be taught."
R. Morrish "One teacher doing something important each day with every student....
will create change." Former TRC Chief Commissioner Murray Sinclair "Numeracy scores in the early years
are a bigger predictor of literacy scores than scores of early literacy." Chris Hiltz, Math Coach “When we spoon feed students we are telling them we don’t believe they can be successful.”
“You don’t want to come home with the scaffolding still up. The leaks should be fixed and the scaffolds down.”
(Translation: Our long-term goal is to help students develop independence rather than always be dependent on individual support.) Every child, to be educationally successful, needs a language-rich environment, one in which adults speak well, listen attentively, and read aloud every day.
"Language tethers us to the world; without it we spin like atoms."
"A day without storytelling is,
for me, a disconnected day.." "We teachers
who are digital immigrants need to honour the digital natives we teach." |
