Dawn's Explorations on Providing Experience and Provoking Reflection in the Classroom

This blog represents my reflections on the book, "Teaching with Your Mouth Shut" by Donald L. Finkel. I selected this book based on my desire to improve my teaching in order to create long lasting learning opportunities for my students. My students' excitement and intrinsic desire to learn and grow has prompted me to extend my education and, hopefully, become a contributing component of adult education in the future.

"All you really do in school is play guess what the teacher knows"-Jeffrey Wilhelm

Jeffrey Wilhelm, Associate Professor of English Education at Boise State, reaffirms some of the concerns Donald Finkel discusses in his book in this YouTube presentation:

He also does a nice job of explaining how inquiry based learning can work in the classroom, an idea presented in Finkel's book.
