It's interesting what ...Thanks so much, Parent!<br />It's interesting what we find when we can interrogate our motives in the moment. Or step into the child's shoes. I can just imagine her, concentrating on the difficult task at hand and what she was learning about patience, sticking to a task, a job well done, and what she might have learned about hurry, your relationship and her own efficacy. Now that I'm a parent, I definitely see the moments that I can prioritize my son's learning over, say, my eagerness to be done with a task as investments that will cover me in other moments when I *have* to prioritize, say, getting to the train station in a hurry.<br /><br />Thanks, as always for your thoughtfulness!<br />Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15127842790564960876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1671589412033995399.post-9004642096334259812013-12-10T06:17:28.939-08:002013-12-10T06:17:28.939-08:00It certainly does take a learner's heart to sh...It certainly does take a learner's heart to show one's colleagues a video of oneself for which there was no special preparation! I am so glad that my children learn from teachers who have learner's hearts.<br />There's so much to this post that resonated with me. One theme that is very alive for me now as a parent is the pervasiveness of the "hidden curriculum" - and the fact that it is actually most of our children's experience of us and the world. I thought of this just yesterday when I took my 5 y.o. daughter with me on an errand to the post office. She wanted to put the stamps on a package and, well, it took FOREVER for her to peel each one off and stick it next to the previous one (another reason they are called "forever stamps?"). I paused and took a lot of deep breaths and really had to think about what my most impt goals in the situation were. I had thought my most impt goal was getting the packages mailed, but I saw that having her do this task which was impt to her, and having her feel trusted to do it, was in fact far more important to me.

We have come to really appreciate the genius of our community, and taking time together always brings us new information. Enjoy the essay, and anything else by Palmer. He is a real teacher hero.<br /><br />And thanks Pam. I think that when we ask so much of teachers, it's natural for us to feel hurried and to start prioritizing certain moments during the morning over others. I wish you could see the clips we watched... these moments that take place every day and that no parent ever asks about, no teacher ever mentions in an assessment, and they were like a beautiful dance of children and teachers.<br /><br />Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15127842790564960876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1671589412033995399.post-30055923505540788812013-12-04T11:42:13.684-08:002013-12-04T11:42:13.684-08:00much food for thought here, Kendra. It's one o...much food for thought here, Kendra. It's one of the fundamental ideas in intentional work- to slow down and be present for it all, rather than just to the schedule/product/outcome.

So often we think that we can visit another program to see what they do to get new ideas. Like the children, the new ideas can come from within.
