A number of novice teachers with whom I have worked have held the unfortunate belief that if they simply had a number of interesting activities that their students would learn. That's like cut flowers: very pretty but short-lived. <BR/><BR/>When you really understand something because you are passionate about it, you come to see it multidimensionally. Just talk to any serious sports fan, motorcycle rider, car lover, and yes, even gardener. The metaphor works because when all is right with the world, it looks easy. Only those who know just how hard it is know what pains it took to get you to the point you're at.rghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03473381226354585702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4906604925304946029.post-87802764960688428172008-06-12T21:19:00.000-04:002008-06-12T21:19:00.000-04:00I loved your metaphor!

Your passion is gardening. You put a lot of work and time into your garden. The same can be said about your teaching and pedagogy. My passion is also teaching. I was trying to think what I feel passionate about and it is films. I enjoy every aspect of movies and spend most of my time watching movies and analyzing this and that about them. I just like the whole idea that one persons vision takes so many people to make it happen so that people like me can enjoy. I hate to say it... the same can be said about teaching. We all have a vision of what an exellent pedagogy can and should be, but it takes many people working collectively to achieve this vision. You need a director, producer, actors, stunt people (I wonder who that is in a school senario?), and the list goes on. Like I said, I think passion is an important foundation that all teachers should bring to the classroom because the students will feel the same enthusiasm you have for the material.Lucrative Thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02819414986464915389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4906604925304946029.post-38423169136633464542008-06-10T23:17:00.000-04:002008-06-10T23:17:00.000-04:00Thanks, but anyone can do this with a little trial...Thanks, but anyone can do this with a little trial and error and knowing how much sunlight they have in their yard. Believe me, I cannot aspire to HGTV quality. I don't have the money or the team of "hidden elves" who do most of the work. But, I can teach you how.rghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03473381226354585702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4906604925304946029.post-71764176351886450932008-06-10T18:43:00.000-04:002008-06-10T18:43:00.000-04:00I think it looks like a garden right out of HGTV!I think it looks like a garden right out of HGTV!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062388932261669780noreply@blogger.com
