Posted really on June 15, 2021. Why didn’t I post my one word for 2013?
My word for 2013 is LEARN. Same as last year–except last year, I was on a journey to become the chief learner in my classroom. This year my word is learn–except this year, I am on a journey for my students to become learners. I want them to turn to learning. To lose their affection with just getting an A. Or, depending on the student, to lose their discouragement over getting a C or D.
I want not just to inspire geniuses in my care to learn, but I want them to want to learn.
I want to teach by listening so they can learn.
I want to give them time to ponder. Time to question. Time to wonder. Time to learn.
