Support students get them involved back off they take over and lead. Hey arent these critical thinking skills , higher order thinking, quality teaching concepts that we are involved in teaching now? Fascinating comments watch a child 'pretend to ride a hosre' stick or chair sitting on is a pivot ...a support ...as older drops the pivots..learning about learning. Fascinating theories he wrote sooooooooo much. Died so young what a legacy left . Must read more of his stuff, ooops not now i just "DEFINED" my task. Im researching learning models...back to SELECTING have done a fair bit of ORGANISING but ASSESSING.. EVALUATING ...mmmm let me DEFINE once again...Now i ll change PRESENTATION yet again .
