EP 20 : What should a teacher in a developmentally minded school be?

Should everyone be taught in the same way? How should we measure progress in learning?

How much of their “real” self should teachers bring into the classroom?

Recently we’ve interviewed 6 leaders on the cutting edge of education.

In the last episode of this season we complete our exploration of the shared themes in these discussions and the patterns they revealed in the roles of students, teachers and parents in development-focused schools.

We discuss: Philosophies on differentiation; Assessment and valid measurements of progress in learning & Teachers as authentic people.

How the role of the teacher is beginning to encompass elements of the mentor, coach & facilitator.

Creating meaningful connections between school, home and the wider community.
