Genius! Thanks, John.
Been missing you. Where you been? I wrote to Jody today.
Snowed in. This will be the first full week of school since Christmas. Time is tight, but I am relaxed and gonna do what I can do. I am constantly uplifted by my superb freshmen who are the highlight of my day. Going to try to make it to Denver since I just found out I have a place to crash with like minded dear friends! Ah, Jody! She is giving her colleagues in Mexico City a lot to think about! Vive la revolution!
You have some ninth grade indigo kids? Lucky you!
One thing we have in common with all approaches is the recognition for a high number of repetitions. But we think we have found a way, or a cluster of ways, to make the repetitions more meaningful, more comprehensible, more fun, more interpersonal, and more adaptable to any ability level.
Nathaniel, ACTFL once offered a workshop entitled “Reach All, Teach All”. It was all about making games and manipulatives. Your post really gets to the nitty- gritty of what that workshop was trying to promote.
Chill in “Yes it’s snowing again New Jersey!”
“Don’t freak out someone who is already worried about big changes.” That is so important. When we freak them out, they retreat or attack. They don’t reflect and start down the path we have ventured down.
I was thinking of Bob Patrick in particular. He has told me that he has a sixth sense, an ability to know when an administrator is anxious, and is able to put them at ease. How many of our obstacles would be removed if we were able to lower the affective filters of anxious administrators? We need to apply Krashen’s ideas (especially affective filter and comprehensibility) not only to our classroom work, but to our relationships with colleagues, if we want to remake our classrooms.
Now you’re talking remaking schools, John. Nice.
I think that all of us on this PLC are acutely aware that the work we are doing is nothing short of a radical remaking of what a classroom community is, to bring it (back?) in line with real human interaction. But we cannot afford to present what we are doing in this way, or else we will surely invoke the wrath of powerful fearful people who don’t understand our intentions.
…all of us on this PLC are acutely aware that the work we are doing is nothing short of a radical remaking of what a classroom community is, to bring it (back?) in line with real human interaction….
I just wanted to repeat that line your wrote there John. It’s music to me, especially the part about bringing teaching back in line with “real human interaction”.
My gosh that is a sweet idea about where this may all be heading! It’s an idea that has colored, without my fully knowing it until the past few years, my goals in each class on every day of my long disturbed career. Real human interaction in the classroom! Imagine! Yes, maybe we really are awakening from a dream. Maybe language can exist to warm hearts again!
“Maybe language can exist to warm hearts again!”
but it already does, everywhere but in 99% of language classrooms.
I put the word “back” in parentheses and with a question mark in my original post, because I am extremely wary when teachers talk about how great things used to be (especially Latin teachers!).
My mom did her EdD work in the south and on Indian reservations in the 50’s and 60’s, trying to reform schools. First thing she did when she entered a classroom by herself was to look in the teacher’s desk drawer. If she found a paddle (which was always), she would throw it away. If we are looking for a golden age in education, especially in FL education, I think it is nowhere but here, now, in the classrooms of the teachers on the PLC. Like Krashen said, WE are the authorities, we are the future, because no one else is coming close to putting his theories to work with real kids in real classrooms.
As all us good Latinists will say: the good old days is just a literary construction anyway. These are beautiful insights John! You are on a roll.
…no one else is coming close….
Just for the record, that is almost word for word what Krashen said about how TPRS/CI lines up with his hypotheses.
John, amazing comments! . . . “radical remaking . . . real human interaction” YESSS!
Ben, did Krashen say this to you or has he written this somewhere? Man, I’d love to have that official quote!!! That’d be great to use to defend what we do and to show to our non-CI colleagues, esp. those that claim to be teaching with CI, but really are NOT.
He said that in around 2009, at a conference in Denver, as I recall, that we videotaped. I can’t be sure of the details but it was pretty big news. I will see Diana Saturday and ask her.
So true! “Seek first to understand.” I have a feeling that is where Bob gets his sixth sense…he is listening to the people he interacts with, just as he listens to his students. Another quote to think about…”We have seen the enemy…and it is us.” But it doesn’t have to be…
with love,
Laurie
