DAY 7

What we learned from NAEP questions?

Never Say Anything a Kid Can Say – Focus Questions

• To what extent do you agree with the definition from the article that a good teacher is “one who gets the students to explain things so well that they can be understood” rather than “one who explains things so well that students understand?” Is it possible to be a good teacher while doing one, the other, or both?

• Are there any obstacles that would prevent you from implementing the strategies in the article? How can these obstacles be overcome?

• What are the advantages and disadvantages of adopting the strategies in “Never Say Anything a Kid Can Say”?

• How does this connect to what Blake Paterson talked about on Day 6?
