If we are able to take the following 11 points into consideration prior, during, and after lessons, we are able to show our students:

  • a sense of pride in themselves
  • a statement of respect (value of questions)
  • it’s an inviting learning space
  1. Listen when students speak
  2. Encourage questions
  3. Don’t answer student questions–show them how to do it themselves.
  4. Spend time on projects, not lecturing
  5. Lessons are fluid
  6. Publish and share
  7. Reflection is included in every lesson plan
  8. You are a fellow learnerĀ 
  9. Flip the classroom
  10. Questions don’t have yes-no answers
  11. Summative assessments are less paper-and-pencil and more hands-on, creative, and student-centered
