Today i asked the sec 3s if they dare to rate their own lesson plans, on giving effective instructions when it comes to teaching.
Nobody said a word.
Some part of me says "this is bad" when this kind of silence takes place. We learn obedience. We learn respect. But it also means that we lose creativity and the passion to excel.
That was something i wanted to inculcate in the people just now. There was an absence of passion, of that zeal to exceed and excel, of creating and in total control of a session of learning that would seemed out of the world in experience. Of joy and fun when learning takes place, of that desire to invent and discover.
Are we losing the touch of passion? Systems overly controlled?
We complain when the environment becomes too comfortable for growth and we gain much inertia when it comes to change. But sometimes it only takes that moment of resolve to overcome the odds.
They say a single spark can light up an entire plain, so awaiting is what i will do to see that new spark rise!
I am hopeful!
