I was tweeted Ed Ustanges's posterous post on the 10 ways to encourage students to take responsibility. I have listed his top ten, for more details see Ed's post. Great work Ed! I think I will ask my intern to evaluate me on Ed's list. I hope I pass.
1. Don’t make all the decisions
2. Don’t play guess what’s in my head
3. Talk less
4. Model behaviors and attitudes that promote learning.
5. Ask for feedback
6. Test less
7. Encourage goal setting and reflection.
8. Don’t over plan.
9. Focus on learning, not work.
10. Organise student led conferences
I have taught for 28 years. I blog about 21st century schools, transforming educational practices and have Prosci/Adpro change management certification. I give presentations on my experiences with 21st century education in schools and change management.

ReplyDeleteNumber 3, talk less, but what about regaling that doesn't count does it?
regaling doesn't count as talk!
