Earlier than the concepts, let me preface this by acknowledging that many of those–if not most–aren’t possible in most lecture rooms and colleges.
I taught for years and tried to shoehorn concepts like this into my educating, and it was rewarding however exhausting and finally resulted in my changing into a pariah in my very own college/district. I didn’t intend on ‘not being a group participant,’ however that’s precisely how concepts like these look to–effectively, to some folks. I’ll go away it at that. (See additionally Teaching Disruptively.)
Since I’m not going to clarify how one can accomplish these sorts of shifts (that’d be a e book), although, I do seek advice from a number of the posts I’ve created over time that elaborate on a few of these concepts. The aim of this put up, then, is to vaguely sketch the doable traits of an revolutionary classroom.
You could disagree strongly with each single one, and that’s okay. These are all opinions and while you, as an educator, try to assist the scholars in your classroom develop, they could have wants that take priority over these–fundamental studying expertise, pupil group expertise, classroom administration, and so on. I get it. I solely wish to contribute to the dialog of how we would finally exchange lecture rooms the place its ‘administration’ is the first concern.
