Teaching and Learning Environments

I thought the discussions today were very interesting and enlightening.  I found there to be some very profound and impacting comments made.  I particularly liked the honesty with which all of us spoke about our strengths, weaknesses, and observations. 

 

One comment that resonated with me was Jack's about "Teaching Environments."  I think we spend so much time wondering, thinking about, and planning for environments that best suit the needs of our students, that we rearely reflect on the environment that best suits us for teachers.  I think this is somehting that I have not often thought about as well.  Maybe a new trend in education is finding a middle ground or maybe more accurately a common ground in which both the teacher and the students are functioning at the most optimum levels to be successful.
