I am more likely to do this after a whole class demonstration than a one-on-one conference, but it is certainly doable - especially since the learners are keeping a record as the teacher thinks aloud. Thanks for raising this important point.<br /><br />Jeff,<br />Thanks for sharing your teaching journey with us. Reflection is a necessary element for improving our practice, as your story demonstrates. And it is a great feeling when learning becomes more natural.delta_dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18024582157985654525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957896812820341397.post-85083688962183440972011-07-01T23:00:04.801-07:002011-07-01T23:00:04.801-07:00This is something that I've found myself doing...This is something that I've found myself doing in many ways. Even when I'm at the board delivering new content it was me learning, not them. I found that I talked for TOO LONG. But, I reflected, just like you said, and by the end of the school year I spoke directly to the class as a whole no more than 10-15 minutes in a class period. That freed them up to do THEIR work, instead of me doing mine. I was of course there to help along the way as needed. It was liberating for all of us.JRussellTeacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09538214477715391692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957896812820341397.post-70314884910334984232011-07-01T18:47:06.166-07:002011-07-01T18:47:06.166-07:00This is something that I struggle with as a HS Eng...This is something that I struggle with as a HS English teacher as well. I find that my "modeling" of a process extends to their independent work time. You ever think of having your students write step by step directions after you've modeled a procedure?Mrs. Tottenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411947658484431853noreply@blogger.com
