Motivating+Quotes

In thinking about our conversation and Liz's suggestion that a motivating quote might be helpful now and then. It seemed to me that this might be another way of getting that out to people who are interested in that strategy. Posted Oct 17, 2009 5:40 am - [|[delete]] || Here's a quote I like.... "If you want children to have what Katz calls a 'robust disposition to be curious, to investigate,hypothesize, and experiment," you will need to make your own such dispositions visible to the children and highlight your observations of their desirable dispositions." (p. 45)

At times I feel that when I am thinking too much about helping children incorporate skills that I want them to learn into their play, or even thinking about what to say to them to highlight who they are as learners, I loose some of my own spontaneous, fun, curiosity that is being described in this quote. I know this comes from wanting kids to be successful, meet their IEP goals, etc...
