Amazing article about a teacher who follows a student for two days---experiences classes as a student, completes all required work as a student, and thinks about how to shape a more effective class. Read the article here: Teacher Spends Two Days as Student....
I challenge a teacher to experience a DAY IN THE LIFE of a student with me. Leave a comment to express your interest. We'll draw a name at the next Department Meeting.

Great article! Asking the students to write down their questions at the beginning of class is a great idea. It would be a very enlightening experience to be a student for a day. I'm willing to try!
ReplyDeleteI have often wondered what it would be like if I had a chance to be a student in an American high school. When I was a teenager, I loved to watch American movies that portrayed a typical day in school: the excitement, diversity, attitudes, rapport, and the overall hustle and bustle that one can find in an urban school. I believe that if I had a chance to experience it through a student's eyes, I would gain a better understanding of what my students go through, considering that my students, coming from different countries as well, did not know what an American school would look like before they had a chance to experience it on their own. I believe that being a student for a day would help me tremendously to reflect on my own teaching and help me hone it to my students' needs. I believe this experience would be an eye-opener and a lot of fun!
