Chapter 10 Connected Teaching

Connected Teaching

1. Sharing the Process
2. The Teacher as Mid-wife
3. Connected Class

I really like the one " The Teacher as Mid-wife. I never looked at a mid-wife in that nature! I can actually picture at. The mid-wife helps draw out the knowledge, or expand on their knowledge.

To me one has to be connected in a classroom, or the learning environment doesn't exist for the student. The teacher might lead, but the student can not depend on that teacher to expand their knowledge the student needs to do that on their own.

Objectivity in Connected Teaching:
I really enjoyed what the 56 year old women said about her adult program, she keeps discovering things inside herself, what she sees herself for the first time through the eyes of others! That to me was powerful.

Teachers are in a powerful position, and from that I only hope if I decide to teach one day that I can be an instructor who is powerful in knowledge so others can build on theirs!
