1. Schools are like airport hubs; student passengers arrive from many different backgrounds for widely divergent destinations. Their particular takeoffs into adulthood will demand different flight plans (Levine, 2002, p. 336). p. 1
I love this statement. I think it is so important to understand the differences that each student brings to the classroom and that they are all at different levels. It is our job as teachers to be aware and find ways to create "flight plans" for each of our students. Thanks Cole for this thought.
I also read Tanja's blog and she taught me the importance of taking a risks and teach our students to take risks. She told the story of the teacher in Anne of Green Gables that encourages Anne's interests. We can take and intrest in our students and encourage them to take risks. We as teachers should take risks as well.
