What we need to unlearn
Courtesy of Will Richardson
• the idea that we are the sole content
experts in the classroom, because we can
now connect our kids to people who
know far more than we do about the
material we're teaching.

What we need to unlearn
• We need to unlearn the premise that we
know more than our kids, because in
many cases, they can now be our
teachers as well.

What we need to unlearn
• We need to unlearn the idea that
learning itself is an event. In this day and
age, it is a continual process.

What we need to unlearn
• We need to unlearn the notion that our
students don't need to see and
understand how we ourselves learn.

What we need to unlearn
• We need to unlearn our fear of putting
ourselves and our students \"out there\"
for we've proven we can do it in safe,
relevant and effective ways.

What we need to unlearn
• We need to unlearn the practice that
teaches all students at the same pace. Is
it any wonder why so many of our
students love to play online games where
they move forward at their own pace?

What we need to unlearn
• We need to unlearn the idea that
students needs and world-views are the
same now as when we trained to be
teacher s.
