PLN 17

I just read a post by Darren Draper title Becoming A Better Teacher and I said:

I like that you posted this because there are a lot of things to say about it. First of all this list gives an ok guide line for teachers but there are definitely some things that I don't agree with. For example, it pretty much says teach the same thing in the same way that you have in the past and I think that that is boring. Teachers should come up with creative ways to teach there material. That way they can figure out what works for them and what doesn't. And that leads me into the don't take feedback from your students. I would think as a teacher you would want to know if you are teaching things well and what the students think. It helps me to learn better when we have class discussions in class and everyone puts in some input into the conversation. This can help me see it from another point of view and sometimes that helps. Also teachers should talk to each other about their teaching techniques and if it is working well for them because that can really help sometimes. I think that this list is good if you have already got everything figured out but there are still some things on there that are still a must to me.

Thanks,
