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.
empowering use use-of-power
The ultimate use of power is to empower others.
choices moments that-moment
Good or bad, everything we do is our best choice at that moment.
choices our-lives
We almost always have choices, and the better the choice, the more we will be in control of our lives.
inspirational teacher teaching
When you study great teachers... you will learn much more from their caring and hard work than from their style.
choices becoming misery
It is almost impossible for anyone, even the most ineffective among us, to continue to choose misery after becoming aware that it is a choice.
information
What we get, and all we ever get, from the outside is information; how we choose to act on this information is up to us.
teacher retirement talking
We can teach a lot of things, but if the teacher can't relate by talking to a group of friendly students, he'll never be a competent teacher.
friendship caring psychology
Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.
strong pain giving-up
Unlike the weak, the strong neither give up nor are driven by pain into rash or stupid behavior. They don't like pain any more than anyone else, but they are not willing to settle for short-term relief if it means reducing their options later. They don't rob Peter to pay Paul, they face reality now.
responsibility challenges intellectual
To counter the avoidance of intellectual challenge and responsibility, we must reduce the domination of certainty in education.
acceptance quality world
Using no control and using humor will build a relationship and make a dent to where the client puts the counselor in their quality world and then begins to relate and seek out the counselor. Effective therapy begins with the acceptance of the therapist into the client's quality world.
teacher school years
We can pay teachers a hundred thousand dollars a year, and we'll do nothing to improve our schools as long as we keep the A, B, C, D, F grading system.
crazy book thinking
They have this big book called the 'DSM-IV,' you know, that is supposedly written about crazy people, but I think it is a book that is written by crazy people!
