You can’t talk the talk you must walk the walk: Collaborative Discussion

PL meetings focus on how to teach and what to teach.

According to Dr. Douglas Thomas, to create a significant learning environment, it is necessary to put the student at the center. Where teachers can create a context that cultivates the imagination, honor passion, and can help others connect their passion with things they need to learn. Make learning fun and easy.

Working as a team where ideas are shared and putting the student at the center would greatly benefit. In my experience during the PL meetings, I only hear complaints from the teachers; this is where I think there is no culture of accepting the challenge of change. I also understand that the state requires a thousand forms to be filled out by each student; thus, it takes away our time and energy.

Lorena, I agree with your statement about putting the students at the center of it all. We need to make learning fun and engaging for our students to encourage them and motivate them to want to learn all of the time.
