Description
The Art of Awakening the Genius in Your Students I believe that teaching is a calling, and it is far from being a clich . Teachers develop the human capacity to do the unimaginable It is not the school location, the curriculum, the cool app, or the grading system that activates learning. Understanding and using an effective learning process is what enables students to find the motivation to learn for life. This is how teachers who care touch their students' lives, and this is how they contribute to a better world. Becoming Einstein's Teacher will help you understand what it is to be a genius, how the brain works, and what it means to learn in the 21st century driven by artificial intelligence. Becoming Einstein's Teacher will show you how to tap into this one thing ALL your students have that enables lifelong learning without extra-curriculum, new tech, more hours in class, or endless homework nights. Becoming Einstein's Teacher will show you how you can start from where you are without going through a complete change in your practices. Becoming Einstein's Teacher will help you grow larger into your calling and get your students on the path to purpose-driven, lifelong learning "Becoming Einstein's Teacher is a stroke of genius, a personal journey that compiles the thoughts of modern education leaders into a comprehensive and inspiring deep look into how we got here and how to move forward to harness the genius in each of us. Every chapter leaves me saying 'hell yeah '" - Virginia Emmons, School Principal and mother of two. "Becoming Einstein's Teacher is definitively a complementary addition to my work with personalized learning and Habits of Mind. It provides insight into what it means to be a teacher in the 21st century. Understanding it and putting it into practice may be a challenging task for those who have been teaching for many years. Yet, Erika manages to simplify a deep and complex methodology that honors the 21st-century learners' need for relationships, agency, and engagement. " - Dr. Bena Kallick, Educator, Author. "The most challenging aspect to consider when introducing anything to teachers is the requirement to change. Becoming Einstein's Teacher asks for no change, but to start from where teachers are. Brilliant " - Leonardo Garnier, former Minister of Education, Costa Rica.
