This week, there were two concepts that stood out to me.
The first one being that to teach, you don't need a recipe. You could have a classroom of 20 kids but they all individually learn differently and you will need to adjust your techniques to suit each child. But how do you make your session that flexible? In future classes I am interested to find out how to be a flexible teacher and also be able to ensure that the children I am teaching flourish to their full potential as I as the teacher am accommodating all of their individual needs.
Secondly, over the past lessons and in particular this weeks, the saying that is relentlessly drilled into us that "there is no right or wrong answer" but ultimately doesn't there have to be a right answer and a wrong answer?
If you ask any person that has been to school, old or young, they will be sure to tell you that all of their schooling experience was resolved around tests that they either passes or failed. So therefore there must be wrong answer because year in year out students are marked by if they answer the right question or the wrong one.
