Watched this awesome TED talk from Angela Lee Duckworth today as a point of interest for our teacher only meeting in preparation for starting school on Monday...our heads were nodding in agreement throughout the whole talk...
By a quirk of fate, the same TED talk popped up in a blog article I have stumbled across this evening while looking for info about Project Based Learning...Vicki Davis shares her (secondary level) lessons/ideas for teaching pupils about true grit
A work in progress! I have been teaching for 30 years and currently work with the awesome Year 2-3 pupils at a small rural primary school in the deep south of New Zealand (was teaching the Year 5-6 pupils for twelve years before that) - every day is different and every day is amazing!
