Have you ever made a list of things to do and just ended up being frustrated because you did not get to accomplish all of the tasks? How about being asked to do several things at the same time but the end result is far from what is expected? Have you ever tried doing it all but came to the conclusion that your efforts are futile?
In today's fast paced environment where everything seems to be moving at the speed of lightening, one can easily become confused, demotivated, burnt out, and passive. This is especially true when you think of the many changes that educators are encountering daily in their practice.
With the numerous innovations in instructional technology, ground breaking results from researches in education on pedagogy and how students learn, why does it seem like an uphill battle to get students to excel in school? Are we making significant contribution in student performance when compared to the past? Would it be fair to compare?
Is it possible for us to select any two or three proven methods or strategies that have given maximum results customized for the population of students we serve instead of just trying to do it all?
What are your thoughts?
Have a Great Week!

I would say stick to 2 or 3 proven strategies that work best for you and run with them.
ReplyDeleteIt is always tempting and easy to stick to the old way, the way we know it. In this world however things are always changing. When change becomes the law of the land we must comply. The solution is to find ways of delving in new methodology so we can facilitate those who are looking for a model. It just might end well.
