Kids are being taught to just have the right answer or they have failed therefore they are not risk takers nor imaginative. This is a way for them to think out of the box-ha pun intended.

What an authentic way to lose the amnesia of only focusing on academic rigor and help bring meaning and purpose back into education! Thank you for your kindness in including me. I will definitely pass this along to other Virtues Project facilitators who are in over 90 countries around the world! The Virtues Project was honored by the United Nations as a model global program for all cultures. It will be really beautiful to see what "Passion" looks like around the world! www.heartofeducation.net This is such a creative way to give voice to everyone who is passionate about teaching and learning that is focused on nurturing the “whole child”.

I like students to find the creativity within them and to release the innovation, construction, imagination, creativity and use it in wonderful ways. Where do I post this ? I used to teach the gifted students and I learned from teaching that perhaps every child tagged as gifted or not,has a gift. It was so much fun to teach them using creative ways to unleash their interests, their writings, their experiments, their own passions in positive ways. Mine links very much to your. I like to give students self confidence in their own learning, own ideas, and boost their feelings of self worth. You may have taught as I did in the age of creativity. I liked students to identify themselves as a color, a fruit, a season, a number, a letter if possible, you get the drift. I was purple because it is unusual, and eleven because I have long legs, and my season was summer because I think I am warm.. I would be a cat because I love cats and love to stretch,,,, The thing about discovering your own passions is that often in education we push for students to learn what WE want them to learn. I will share a photo. I am most passionate about kids learning the joy of the discovery of learning paths .. learning for its own sake.
