About a week ago, I asked readers to contribute a personal secret about teaching and learning. I had gotten this idea while listening to the radio as Frank Warren was discussing his bookand blog, called PostSecret, where people send in postcards with their personal secrets. I thought it would be interesting to find out what others have to say privately about themselves with teaching and learning. Today’s the first of a couple of posts where I’m going to share what folks submitted. (If you’d like to add you secret, you still can and I’ll insert it in. Check this form out to add your secret.)
I remember very little from what I read. Most of the time, I find it helpful to scan the content first and then reread. But most of all, what helps me retain the information and connect the dots is a discussion among peers.
I only cut one class in college ever.
Always be kind, courteous, and respectful to everyone in your school or work setting. The secretary, the custodian….they all can make your life easier or a whole more miserable!
I do not like teachers drinking coffee and sitting on their desk when they expect their students to sit in the desk and wait for their snack at break time.
More are coming. What’s your secret? Add it in here.
