Teaching Redefined...

  The  article Rigor Redefined  focuses on the type of learning that students need to be successful in today's world... things like collaboration, using your imagination, analyzing, writing, problem-solving, etc. Technology along with good teachers can foster these skills in their students.  The article contends that good teachers do not spoon-feed answers rather they allow students to work together to solve problems and communicate solutions to the class.  The author notices "schools that are succeeding at making adequate yearly progress but failing our students. "   It is true, though.. many jobs/professions today are definitely team-oriented and require good thinking and communication skills. I guess teachers need to start asking the right question, not "How well am I teaching?.... rather "How well are the students learning?"
