Finally understanding all of these "crumbs" that are being conveniently mentioned...
Writing the midterm diagnosis paper has really opened my eyes to the larger concepts of Social Studies. Collaborating with my colleague, Sarah Kikuchi, has been one of the most rewarding experiences of this semester so far. We finally began to understand the level of connectedness Social Studies really has.
The idea of teachers being the centre of the classroom has never been more wrong. We are moving from teachers handing information to students to teachers becoming co-learners in the classroom.
Respect, Connection, Citizenship, Relevance...Finally these Social Studies terms are starting to really make sense.
We are all global citizens, it's about time we contribute to this paradigm shift.
