This might be Tweetable, but I also would love to hear everyone's thoughts....I think we are trying to move in this direction, but it takes a lot of thought, work, and flexibility on the part of the teacher. Purpose to one group of students might look different than another group.
How important is this to us as teachers?
I find at MCDS that teachers are generally purposeful, but the question that keeps coming up at this conference is whether are purposes are the most relevant and helpful for our students.
ReplyDeleteExactly- the question is actually not so much about the teachers having purpose as the work students do having purpose....
