School has begun and the classroom is full of learners. It's been a great start to the year and the students in my class are very nice. Some challenges exist - like listening and following directions but we will put routines in place to help with that. It's exciting to see the students loving Genius Hour and their desire to learn new things. Now to find the best ways to direct their learning and energy to enhance effective learning across the curriculum.
We did another learning styles inventory today. We will do a few more just to compare and then we will use the data to make a graph or chart. It's neat to have the students begin to understand themselves as learners and what strengths and challenges they have at this time of their learning journey.

CategoriesJames KlassenI am a teacher. I have held various teaching positions, mostly in Abbotsford, BC, Canada, since 1987. I believe that teachers have the opportunity to inspire deep and meaningful learning and that all learners create their knowledge in ways that are connected to their interests and within their social context. I have observed many waves of educational "reform" come and go and remain hopeful that schools will be transformed into places where all learners desire to be creators and consumers of knowledge and that, together, each member of this community will become prepared to face their world in both skills and attitudes. |
