A point that was disconcerting to me was that "Teachers benefit from well-designed curricula and lesson plans that have already been developed." I am wary that such a finding could translate into support for scripted lessons. This dialogue about the interrelationship of a plan and flexibility speaks to the point: planned lessons can help, but the "art form" of responding to students is essential.Barbara Cambridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508125584351917237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530005303490868165.post-3185957011979414882007-01-20T16:33:00.000-07:002007-01-20T16:33:00.000-07:00I actually found myself feeling guilty when readin...I actually found myself feeling guilty when reading these posts. I very much agree with the need to "go with the flow" but sometimes find myself sticking to "the plan" so that all six classes stay on the same "path" and get through the content together as if they were one. I want to be flexible and I know I can be more so!<br /><br />Just like a single word can "work" alone or together with another and one student can work alone or together with another... one class can work alone or together with another. It is truly an art form in which daily decisions translate into the ongoing picture.Diane, Jane and Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12727879406333937534noreply@blogger.com
