Kids with Differences- Part 2 Challenges

Send us Fan MailIn this episode I talk about differences as challenges-  both for student and for us in our teaching.  This is part 2.  In the next episode I will talk about differences as opportunities for our kids and for our teaching.From this episode: Many of us might shy away from making our teaching about something personal, something that matters a lot to us.  Think about the teachers that you admire, what about them makes you remember them long after you were their student?  The ones I remember were fully there with what they were teaching, not as a responsibility, but as a passion, a need to share their deep care for the subject with others.   What we love and care about is particular to us and makes us unique and different.  As much as we should embrace the differences students bring to their learning, we need to embrace and live our differences, our gifts in our teaching.  We teach best when we teach what we love.
