sparse postings

I am trying to get into the flow of blogging and have decided I need a scheduled time to keep everyone updated on my processes and thoughts.  Therefore, I will attempt to blog a little thought or reflection on the readings every other day.  Today, I will begin my chapter summaries on the book, “Teaching with Your Mouth Shut".

While prepping this summary, I had a call from a new teacher that will be coming into our district next year. We spent quite a bit of time discussing one of the major themes of this book; inquiry-based learning. The idea of letting students discover the answers/concepts on their own is certainly intriguing but can it work with secondary students , where most of them seem to possess a sparse experience/knowledge base?

Something to ponder…

Hope you enjoy the summaries and find useful tips in them.
