A Conversation with a Skeptical School Teacher "Can We Really Find Time for STMs?" Said a Teacher. Today, I had an enlightening conversation with a school teacher who recently read my book on Student-Teacher Meetings (STMs). She congratulated me on the effort and praised the innovation behind the concept. However, she expressed a common concern: "Though it's quite innovative and shows your research on the topic, I don't think it can ever be applied in a system like ours. We're too occupied with other things, and having a student-teacher meet doesn't seem necessary because we keep talking to our students in class. Many students participate, some actively answer...so there are just a few who stay quiet, and some who are just unbearable because of their naughtiness. Having a procedural meeting doesn't seem to be coming in soon." I genuinely appreciated her honesty and concerns. She spoke for many educators, which made me reflect on why STMs are so crucial. Yes, we do interact with students during class, but how often do we connect with every single one of them? The quiet ones, the naughty ones, the introverts—how well do we truly know them? STMs aim to cover every student, not in the classroom where they might feel exposed, but in a 1:1 setting where they can speak freely. These meetings will help uncover their real personalities, their strengths, and their struggles. It’s not just about talking; it’s about connecting. Initiating STMs requires a wholehearted effort, but the rewards are immense. It will foster better connections between students and teachers, making the classroom a more inclusive and understanding environment. I'm glad she saw the potential in what I was saying, and I hope more educators will too.

Farnam Street shared this insight: "Thought experiments are the sandbox of the mind, a place where we can play with ideas without constraints. They’re a way of exploring the implications of our theories, of testing the boundaries of our understanding. They offer a powerful tool for clarifying our thinking, revealing hidden assumptions, and showing us unintended consequences. The power of thought experiments lies in their ability to create a simplified model of reality where we can test our ideas. In the real world, there are always confounding factors, messy details that obscure the core principles at work. However, in a thought experiment, we can strip away the noise and focus on the essence of the problem. Thought experiments remind us that some of the most profound insights and innovations start with a simple question: What if?" So I also wanted to share a thought experiment Aaron McKim, Haley Traini, Catlin Goodwin, Brytany Gama, and I got to publish this year: https://lnkd.in/gnBXqgtn Lots of "what ifs" led to our question: What new solutions to agriculture teacher attrition emerge when we remove the system’s constraint on teacher vulnerability? (aka: what if we leaned into vulnerability to solve problems in education?)

Mistakes are essential to the learning process. In this article by Andrew Boryga (https://bit.ly/3RTttMH), educator Jennifer Mangels emphasizes the importance of teaching students to classify their mistakes. In doing so, students become more reflective learners, enabling them to independently identify and address challenges in their academic work (via Edutopia - George Lucas Educational Foundation): https://edut.to/3ztIw9A #learnercentered #k12

Did you know that Thinking Maps drives continuous growth in academic performance across all subject areas? Teaching students to organize their thoughts using the 8 Thinking Maps helps them access content and communicate what they know more effectively. Explore the impact of Thinking Maps with "Write from the Beginning…and Beyond"—our case study on Kenmore Elementary School, where students are utilizing Thinking Maps to articulate their learning experiences. https://ow.ly/s3Z650RxVhv #ElementaryEducation #Teachers
