Whose Voice, Whose Learning

Whose Voice, Whose Learning?

As students . . . .

The more we ask “How long does it have to be?”

The more we ask “What do you want?”

The more we ask “How can I please you?”
The more we ask “Where’s the rubric?”

The more we ask “What do I need to do?”

The more we ask “What are your expectations?”

As teachers . . . . .

The more we provide step-by –step instructions,

The more we clarify directions,

The more we take other’s standards, benchmarks, rubrics or other assessment tools.
The more we develop rubrics and assessments

The more we use other’s materials, resources, and ideas.

The farther we are from
our expectations for ourselves, our goals, our plans, our thinking.

The bigger the chasm

The deeper the hole

The farther away we are from

LEARNING, GROWING AND THINKING. 

The more SILENT OUR VOICES.
