“Find the seed at the bottom of your heart and bring forth a flower” (Shigenori Kameoka)
Jim Knight recently wrote about hope and the powerful combination: high expectations + effective instruction in the classroom. Educators are passionate about their teaching and want the best for their students. As we open our classrooms for more collaboration and learning opportunities such as Learning Rounds, as teachers we learn and build capacity within each other and strengthen our instruction to be more effective. This combined with our high expectations for our students and belief in each of their unique talents allows each student to blossom into the flower that they are.
What stories do you have about how high expectations and effective instruction have allowed your students to blossom?
