“I don’t know how to do this, but I’m willing to try and learn.”
That is the exact attitude that we should desire from our students – the sign of curiosity, engagement, and a desire to grow and improve.
It seems to me to be the message that all teachers I know are sending, daily, to their students. Sending explicitly, as students see their teachers sharing ideas online and posting about things they’ve learned, but also sending implicitly through their creative problem solving and tackling of the new challenges given to them in the last few weeks.
This is hard. I wasn’t trained for this. I haven’t prepared for it.
I don’t know how to do this, but I’m willing to try and learn.
