I agree entirely with what Bill writes about and would throw in the classic William Glasser thoery that we will learn or do tasks for a significant teacher that, at the time we find hard, or seem uninteresting, simply to please that teacher, because he/she takes a special interest /aroha in us as individual students. In other words we will try our best to please this person and in the process do the best work we can do at the time.The key is expecting the best quality work form individuals and facilitating even better work by being significant to the kidsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438349.post-1152492328712241042006-07-10T12:45:00.000+12:002006-07-10T12:45:00.000+12:00It is all about listening to students and valuing ...It is all about listening to students and valuing their ideas and concerns - curriculum needs to be tailored to each individual learner!Bruce Hammondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07031065790535111400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438349.post-1151797977474815302006-07-02T11:52:00.000+12:002006-07-02T11:52:00.000+12:00Your blog points out the difference between indivi...Your blog points out the difference between individualised and personalised learning.

The trouble is teachers have become too conscious of demands placed on them to listen, or value, the 'voices' of their students. The worst thing we 'steal' off kids is their sense of self or 'voice' as they try to conform to outside expectations - the same applies to teachers as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
