Dr. Strange, where do you find these teachers?! They are geniuses. My teacher #2 was Mr. Joe Bower of Alberta, Canada. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Mr. Bower's many posts on effective, empowering teaching. I have laughed and cried each time I visited his blog. I am aware that just sounded kind of movie criticesque, but it's just the truth.
Mr. Bower shares excerpts from articles he has read on the education of today. He questions the goals of educators today. He makes us aware, rather he reminds us that there is a system in place for teachers to use and we must embellish this system little by little in order for it to empower our students.
None of that is directly quoted, but this is how my mind has wrapped around all of the information he provides. I told him thanks for sharing his thoughts because they help me make sense of my own and I will be visiting his blog for as long as I can.
I am starting to see very clearly how learning and teaching methods have changed. They run smoother this way.
