October 20, 2018 WIR: #Thisis18, Cultivating Curiosity, Hoop Dreams, Hopeful News & more
Happy Saturday!
This week is review highlights two groups that apply to teachers in every discipline. First, a new group - Instructional Design, Assessment & Coaching. Second, an oldie but goodie our Identity: Gender, Race, Sexuality & Power group. In the former, I included one of my all time favorite blogs BIG IDEA: A Pernicious Myth - Basics Before Deeper Learning. So often we talk about skills as if they MUST be learned in a linear progression. That simply isn't true. Two quick examples - people can learn to play a song on an instrument before they can read or write music. Anyone can go to a foreign country and speak a language before having grammar lessons! Guess who made lots of albums before they could formally read music? #justsayin.
I also included resources from tiny groups that don't have a lot of members that might be of interest to others this week.
