It se...I hope you enjoy reading <B><I>The Quality School</I></B>. It seems to me that Dr. Glasser's practical ideas focusing on choice to promote ownership and personal responsibility for your own education are not very clearly taught these days. <BR/><BR/>These ideas don't really fit well with an educational system that seems to want to take all choice out of the equation. <BR/><BR/>There are subtle, yet powerful forces at work when children, in fact all people, take ownership for their education. That ownership can take several faces. It could be as simple as asking students to design and redecorate an area in your classroom.<BR/><BR/>Today, the idea of <B>choice</B> and <B>free will</B> being encouraged for the betterment of students, teachers and the community is not prevalent, BUT those who ARE taught/raised up in this way can be quite confident in their ability to learn or do just about anything they CHOOSE. <BR/><BR/>Good Luck on your lesson development, and remember it is OK to adapt one of the example lessons found in Dr. Glasser's books.samccoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03820641673301360531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554938781519112123.post-16497134747815012102008-02-03T10:40:00.000-06:002008-02-03T10:40:00.000-06:00I am currently reading The Quality School and prep...I am currently reading The Quality School and preparing a lesson to present to my class at Drake University sharing Dr. Glasser's ideas and how they could possibly incorporate them into their classrooms and schools. It will be an interesting challenge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
