Fluid Conversations

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is the following:

–the end of asking kids to write all of their spelling words ten times even if they got them right on their pre-test.

–teachers who…
“differentiate instruction by modifying the depth or complexity of content, the processes by which students learn, the content itself, and the products students are expected to create based on considerations of learning styles, interests, and skill levels.

–teachers who are open to the promise technology has to support and enhance learning.

–states that realize we must move beyond a 20th century way of educating children.

–educators like Chris Lehmann who continually inspire me with words like these…

“I’d rather have to deal with the balance between (student) empowerment and entitlement than sleep and absence.”

Time for bed, Santa…but I’ll be back later…don’t you worry…

Love always,

Cary Harrod
