Teacher-Self. Motivation and Agency

Send us Fan MailI set out the idea of Teacher-Self.    The teacher- self being the governor of how one approaches the learner.    From the podcast- I want you to consider your students as teachers.  Not in the way we might already- with students teaching each other at times.  I want us, instead, to realize that within every learner there is a teacher-self; this teacher-self as the governor of one’s own approaches to learning.  Think about your own teacher-self, the one that told you what to pay attention to while leaning, the one that chose books from the library not for school but for you, your own interest, the teacher-self who made you make your own notes for something that you wanted to learn, the one that moves you to address questions about something interesting just for yourself, the teacher-self that moves you to learn without the necessary presence or approval of someone else.Enjoy and reach out for a conversation about this or else
