Who's Blogging  |
Many teachers are required to post their classroom objectives daily. In this fresh culture of "accountability," we are required to publicly defend what we are teaching and why it's important. This amuses me because I imagine other professions having to do this.
Today patients will receive an immunization in order to fight disease.
Today riders will travel in my cab in order to reach a chosen destination.
Today in class, my curriculum-based objectives could have shared valuable chalkboard real estate with the following:
Today students will practice lockdown procedures in order to avoid violent intruders in our school.
Today students will work in teams in order to see that outstanding work can be produced with cooperation and dedication.
Today students will enjoy a book for reasons other than taking a test in March.
Today students will enjoy an impromptu lesson about spiders in order to debunk the myth that they are brain-eating creatures running under Zach's desk.
