A year
or so ago, Allie Aldrich introduced me to a great classroom management
blog. It is written by a veteran teacher
named Michael Linsin. This is from a
post he titled “How to Drench Your Students in Learning:”
It
builds perseverance muscles.
One of
the goals of effective teaching is to continually extend the amount of time
your students work independently and without your input.
Not
only does this dramatically improve learning, but it builds grit and
determination. It builds concentration, perseverance, and academic toughness.
These
traits are severely lacking in many of our students, but are the
number one key to their success.
