Welcome innovative educators! By being part of a blog, you have already begun to make your mark on the world of innovation! Thank you for taking the risk to try this format of booktalk.
We will use this format to share ideas, opinions, questions and wonderings, as well as real-life examples of our own practices. Though blogging can be as open-ended as we want it to be, we are thinking of using a more structured approach to our first book blog. We will Read a section/chapter of the book and post. I will post questions and prompts that can guide your posts or you can post your own understandings, questions or something that challenged your thinking in that chapter. Remember to include the name of the chapter and chapter number as the topic for each blog if you are starting a blog. Remember to comment if you would like to respond to someone else's blog.
Let's commit to making a positive change in our practices as we read this book and critically think about our own practices.
What do YOU commit to changing in your practice? Why do you feel a need for this change? What impact do you predict, this change will bring?

Thank you Monica, I am looking forward to learn and read this great book with all of you in this blog.
ReplyDeleteToday I witnessed an innovator’s Mindset in your grade one classroom Parmjit. I was in to talk you to set up some time for our next meeting. I had a string of beads, REKENREKS, in my hand. The students got so excited to see this and I must admit, I was as excited as them. We broke into an impromptu number talk with this concert material. What was even more exciting was how you demonstrated flexibility and responsive teaching as you quickly changed your plans to accommodate what the students wanted to learn and were excited about. Not to mention, the thinking we got out of the students was amazing and inspiring!

ReplyDeleteOur students are growing up in a world full of technologies that many of us never had as children ourselves. As teachers, we need to take advantage of the benefits technology can offer our students. We need to embrace the changes that are happening each day in education and seek to familiarize ourselves with the different approaches that we can take in our classrooms. I look forward to sharing this book with all of you and to become more 'innovative' to meet the needs of my students!
