Quick Peek, First Thoughts

First 10 thoughts on personal teaching philosophy.
In particular, How do I want to teach? Where do I want to teach? Why do I want to teach? What do I want to teach?

1. Rich, authentic, real world, learning tasks
2. Skills embedded - learning journey documented
3. Student-driven /initiated (not withstanding some teacher manipulation if necessary)
4. Cooperative Learning Environment
5. Environment where students and teacher feels safe, heard, validated
6. Learning Intentions and Success Criteria shared with students (criteria often written together)
7. Students teaching students teaching teacher teaching students.
8. Independence encouraged, fostered
9. Life long learner (all of us, together)
10. Respect
