Master's Class


I am in the capital again for another class. This class in on Multiple Intelligence in the classroom. I have learned a lot. Especially differentiating instruction which, for those of you non-teachers, means teaching to kids abilities and not where they are supposed to be. It has been a very interesting class. One of the spatial ways we learned to teach all sorts of subject areas and interests is through mathmatical oragami. It's not animals, it's shapes. The picture is of some of the shapes I learned to make with one of the teachers, Rachel. She is 72 and is studying her Doctorate right now. Can you imagine all the changes and fads she's seen over 50+ years of teaching? It's very inspirational.
