I am reading this brilliant book by David brooks. Lot of take aways for parenting,teachers and living a full life ,in general.
Some nuggets of wisdom from the book.
1.Teaching doesn't have to be brilliant right away .The first phase of learning seemed to get the learner involved ,captivated ,hooked and to get the learner to need and want more information and expertise.
Teachers job is to make efforts to give a brilliant opening for any topic ..to make the learners hooked on to the topic and bring them on board. This ofcourse is a major task,but worth it.
2. Richard ogle in "smart world " says - start with core knowledge in a field,then venture out learning new.Then come back and reintegrate the new morsel with what you already know.Then venture out,return...back and forth.
