]]> Comment on One School’s Faculty-wide Exploration of Schools for All Kinds of Minds by Harold Shaw http://akomblog.org/2010/10/28/one-school%e2%80%99s-faculty-wide-exploration-of-schools-for-all-kinds-of-minds/#comment-564 Fri, 28 Jan 2011 02:33:26 +0000 http://akomblog.org/?p=793#comment-564 Our entire School District recently attended Brain Based Strategies for Improving Students’ Memory & Learning and All Kinds of Minds was referenced. I have read many of the previous books previously associated with All Kinds of Minds before this one, when I taught at a different school.

It seems that my school district may be heading down this road and I would be interested learning more about the philosophies that are in this book.

Teachers touch the lives of students in a way very few other individuals do. The readiness with which they accept diversity and empathize with the members of the unique micro- community that is a class room, influences the students the most.

At the same time , one can not deny that their main role is that of an educator.A very happy and creative class which is not progressing in academic skills may not be an ideal situation. The children learn other life skills from their family and community but not Maths, science and geography.

so a balance has to be maintained by the teacher. I salute the hard working, well meaning and innovative teachers.

]]> Comment on Seeing – and Nurturing – the Genius in our Students by Sharron Clemons http://akomblog.org/2010/10/14/seeing-%e2%80%93-and-nurturing-%e2%80%93-the-genius-in-our-students/#comment-558 Tue, 21 Dec 2010 20:14:17 +0000 http://akomblog.org/?p=738#comment-558 As I work in many different classrooms, I see so few teachers who really look for the genius in each child. I wish they could stop being so busy, and build relationships with the students, and get to know each one’s uniqueness. It is sad to see so much potential become wasted when a teacher feels that a child is “lazy,” or “out of control,” or “just isn’t interested in learning.” (even in primary grades!) I want to take each one of the little ones, especially, home with me to help them see how special they are and how they ARE geniuses in their own way!

Repeated practice of new and acquired skills will be necessary, but again will have to access her strength of responding to visuals, diagrams, etc. The motor act of completing blank graphic organizers should help her learn through her strengths. Other aids to comprehension might include role playing or acting out read material.

Issues seem to focus on a weak vocabulary, and poor memory abilities.
