This article on student ownership got me thinking:
What if I involved students in planning my lessons?
What if I sat down with one student a week and worked with them to plan one of the lessons in the following week? Imagine the empowerment that might come from that. Imagine the learning for that student. I could envisage that student’s passion and interest for the subject going through the roof if they’ve had a say in planning it. And what’s more, imagine the learning for me! To sit down with a student and talk through what they think a lesson should look like would open my mind to their thoughts and ideas and help me see what activities they enjoy. I’m excited just thinking about it.
Now, how might I turn this idea into reality? Hmmmm…..
