Teachers as students
How can teachers do an activity in the class unless they have
tried it by themselves first? Thus, in my workshops teachers first work like
students and then reflect like analysts. I never ask them to 'just repeat the
activity'! They reflect on the given activity, analyse it completely and are
coaxed to 'think for themselves' if that activity will be suitable for their
classes or not. I find this 'think for yourselves' does not come very easy for teachers
if they are not exposed to it. They are used to follow the trend. But this must
break.
An empowered teacher is the only teacher who can lead a generation of
empowered students!
So here they go...singing a song on numbers that they wrote and building
the confidence to 'think for themselves' about how to use it for their
classes!
