matter students faster
The faster you go, the more students you leave behind. It doesn't matter how much or how fast you teach. The true measure is how much students have learned.
learn teach
We Learn . . .10% of what we read20% of what we hear30% of what we see50% of what we see and hear70% of what we discuss80% of what we experience95% of what we teach others.
american-psychologist fulfill later needs perhaps yes
Too many of us fail to fulfill our needs because we say no rather than yes, or perhaps later in life, yes when we should say no.
deeply involve persuade process quality students work
If we are to persuade all students to do quality work, we must involve them deeply in the process of evaluating their own work as they do it! This is concurrent evaluation.
accept cannot competence high less work
In any place work is done, you cannot accept anything less than competence if you want high quality.
real order discipline
To focus on discipline is to ignore the real problem: We will never be able to get students (or anyone else) to be in good order if, day after day, we try to force them to do what they do not find satisfying.
running school helping-others
Running a school where the students all succeed, even if some students have to help others to make the grade, is good preparation for democracy.
thinking whole-picture improving
I think education is both using and improving knowledge and that changes the whole picture.
victim over-it passive
To be depressed or neurotic is passive. It happened to us; we are its victim, and we have no control over it.
children lying teaching
The answer lies in preventing failures not in looking for better ways to fix the children who are failing.
real school world
Told that the passing grade is a B or competence and that we will help you to get there, students do competent work. The lowest passing grade in the real world is competence. Why do schools accept so much less?
school winning competition
There is plenty of competition in a Glasser Quality School in that there is winning but no losing.
educational school opportunity
As long as acquiring knowledge is the educational goal of schools, educational opportunities will be limited, as they are now, to affluent families.
teacher intellectual friendly
Every single major push in education has made it worse and right now it's really bad because everything we've done is de-humanizing education. It's destroying the possibility of the teacher and the student having a warm, friendly, intellectual relationship.
