Thoughts on the Fiedler article
“We have developed and fine-tuned an art of teaching but we have failed to develop an equally strong art of learning.” This quote from the Fiedler article is oh so true. The focus at my school and many others (I’m sure) is all about training the teachers. We have had so many trainings and in-services over the last few years it makes my head spin. Now all this talk from the “No Child Left Behind Act” about “Highly Qualified Teachers” teachers are being trained and educated about everything when the focus should really be about the learning going on everyday in the classroom. We do need to focus more on the process of learning and the students need to get more involved motivated to learn.
