In an effort to try to clean up the house - get rid of old papers etc - I came across a little pad of paper from Free Minds Collective days. We must have been brainstorming some ground-rules or something. Here is the list:
confidentiality
speak from personal experience, not from sweeping generalizations
step up, step back
respect
support
have an open mind: don't be thinking about a response while someone is still talking
reflect
keep the goals in mind
check your body language
Here are some other notes...
Interventions:
1. use positive reinforcement
2. make the student a leader
3. provide choices
4. deal with sickness, not symptoms
5. build trust but don't confuse building trust with being friends
6. find and encourage passion
7. know the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic rewards
8. sometimes you have to be tough - a mommy (??)
[sometimes my own notes confuse me.]
Responding to different learning styles:
1. kinesthetic - with your hands
2. present the same concept in different ways
Some quotes:
This is something that one of the Lyrical Storm folks mentioned:
"What [the educator] says might fracture a student's reality. We have to be prepared for the consequences."
Brother Victorious:
"Teaching is not a profession it is a lifestyle."
Curtis Cunningham:
"Let the student(s) make new stories every day."
