Thank you for leaning in and listening to episode 12 of CALM Conversations about Learning!
This episode continues this month’s Pillar Talk about lessons. Lesson-planning and delivery are important parts of teaching and learning but can only be effective if the lesson begins with intention and ends with impact.
We begin with intention in this episode, where I share about a student who refused to learn from me and what I learned about teaching, as a result.
Conversation Points:
- Part of teaching lessons involves learning lessons.
- The standard definition of the word “lesson" is the material that's taught and learned; the content or skill or the how-to of something.
- Lesson is the action of the curriculum; it is meant to move the learning process.
- A learning standard is simply a structure and through structure comes freedom.
- We teach students not standards.
- The STANDARD QUESTION: What do I want my child/students to know, do or learn?
- The SALIENT QUESTION: What kind of learning experience do I want my child/students to have? ...*And what kind of teaching experience do I want to have?
- No lesson will be effective without considering engagement, environment and most importantly, the relationship.
Visionary Homework:
Journal about the learning experience that you’d like your child or students to have --and the teaching experience that you’d like to have when engaging with the lessons that you deliver. Consider relationship, engagement and environment. Take note of any frustration you feel currently and how you’d like to feel instead.
