Day Ten

What is an intentional teacher?
​
Let’s look back to yesterday’s lesson on intentional play, an intentional teacher is able to draw learning out of those observations and provide children with a learning experience based on prior knowledge of children.
​
So an intentional teachers is...
  • One that acts purposefully.
  • With a goal in mind.
  • A plan for accomplishing that goal.
  • Knows that teaching doesn’t just happen by chance.
  • They use their knowledge and expertise to organize experiences for children.
  • Recognize those teachable moments and take advantage of them.
​
Now let’s look at what is a teachable moment?
Beth Lewis defines a teachable moment as an unplanned opportunity that arises in the classroom where a teacher has an ideal chance to offer insight to his or her students.

Think about that for a moment…


Is every question that children ask during a lesson a distraction or is there something more to it?


Are we squelching a child’s thirst for knowledge when we quickly brush it aside and say not know we are _________?


Ouch that hurts…am I doing this to children?

Task:
Take the pledge:   
  • “I will be intentional and present everyday as I teach children.”
