This is very interesting perspective:
Do teachers really know what students go through? To find
out, one teacher followed two students for two days and was amazed at
what she found. Her report is in following post, which appeared on the
blog of Grant Wiggins, the co-author of “
Understanding by Design” and the author of “
Educative Assessment”
and numerous articles on education. A high school teacher for 14 years,
he is now the president of Authentic Education, in Hopewell, New
Jersey, which provides professional development and other services to
schools aimed at improving student learning. You can read more about
him and his work at
the AE site.
Wiggins
initially posted the piece without revealing the author. But the post
became popular on his blog and he decided to write a
followup piece revealing
that the author was his daughter, Alexis Wiggins, a 15-year teaching
veteran now working in a private American International School
overseas. Wiggins noted in his follow-up that his daughter’s experiences
mirrored his own and aligned well with the the responses on surveys
that his organization gives to students.
