Opening Minds was a powerful reminder that how we talk to students matters. More importantly, we should probably do more listening and less talking. Providing opportunities for student to engage in dialogue about ideas and situations helps them to develop not only content area knowledge but also social and moral reasoning abilities.
Debrief is like the closure for EEI..."Allowing students to remember, revise and reapply their learning provides a tremendous opportunity for growth as a numberate thinker..."(1st paragraph p. 168)
This book was great. I like how it took our reading method and related it to math. I am looking forward to using what I have learned.
Woo Hoo!!! Let's get started. If we have time this year. Maybe we could have a wednesday to meet and debrief about what we read this summer. Kathy Wingstom
