QUEST! Here is a nugget of wisdom to support your empowerment of student choice, voice and ownership.
Click here to read a post from the "Making Good Humans" blog entitled, "Agency in the Time of COVID." The message is strong and relevant.
Some highlighted parts that I personally loved:
"We need to respect that they (like all of us) have gone through change, uncertainty, and potentially loss and trauma. Now more than ever we must see them as whole human beings – not partially complete adults-in-the-making."
"No Secret Teacher Business... Make the "why" transparent."
"Stay critical about what's worth learning."
"Plan in response to learning... So although it can be difficult to let go of those perfectly laid out curriculum maps and long range plans and unit designs… we might find that this year, getting to know our learners and their families first, then involving them in decision-making and planning and always going one step at a time might be a more fruitful approach.
Enjoy! 😁💡🌏
