• How to Relinquish Control with Confidence in Your Class | Education Is My Life

  • It is our job as educators to give our students a vast overview of many different topics until something sticks. Give students exposure to everything until they find their niche. School is not about what you teach, but the passion you pass on, and the ability to access information. We are no longer simply teaching students what they need to know, but teaching students how to find out more. We are training students of today to be resilient in a world where they will be professionals in professions that do not yet exist. So relinquish. Let them feel success. Let them feel frustration. Let them feel boredom. Let them discover. Show them a hint of their potential… They will blow themselves away. But they cannot achieve that confidence working within a prescribed plan where the status quo is the expectation. The fact is, each student will work on the correct level for him/her. Continue to teach students at their instructional level, but give students access to different levels for independent work.
