It is one thing to go to a PD workshop, be given a bunch of handouts, and be told, "Teach it like this..." and quite another to actually see the teaching in action. I know that most teachers try faithfully to change and use the "new" best practices, but to practice without understanding (just like the students when given lots of repetition without concept work first) sometimes results in more harm than good. Thank you for increasing our understanding!</p>melching5Sun, 14 Sep 2008 16:51:43 -0000http://www.angelamaiers.com/2008/07/teaching-with-a.html#comment-1010103<p>I am thrilled that you are taking the Hawaiian values back home with you! As an educator in Hawaii, it saddens me to see the loss of Hawaii's beautiful culture. When others learn about it, and project it into new arenas, the life of the culture is perpetuated.<br>Mahalo (thank you!)</p><p></p>melching5Sat, 26 Jul 2008 16:16:43 -0000
