Chapter 7

I love this quote provided in the chapter and thought it would be nice to open with it. “Keeping a project moving requires teachers to support students on their learning journey. It doesn’t always unfold the way you expect. This is where the art of teaching comes into play.” Basically we as teachers need to provide communication for our students, whether it is;

·         Teacher to teacher

·         Student to student

·         Teacher to student

All of these forms of communication will help to make the learning experience better for our students.  According to page 118, “In the middle of a project, student teams are likely to be going in many directions and working at different speeds.” Some questions we might ask depends on the types of information we want to know. The different types of questions are:

·         Procedural

·         Teamwork

·         Understanding

·         Self-assessment

Remember to always be the teacher and manage conflict when it arises but to also allow for student inquiry. I think this is important when putting together our gardening project. We want our students to be able to work collaboratively with each other but also with us as the instructor.
