| Erik Eriksson Stages of Life Development |
The primary job of every student is to develop self-discipline.
Teachers and students must work together in a positive atmosphere.
Curriculum content is merely the arena in which growth occurs.
All teaching should help students relate content to the positive outcome of each developmental stage.
Teachers can only provide structure, a student oriented classroom, and expectations of positive outcomes based on important events.
Students must construct their own knowledge based material presented, methods of presentation, and an student oriented classroom.
The teacher must provide opportunities for students to have as much choice as possible for displaying to the teacher what they have learned.
The more choice, the more buy-in, the more enthusiasm, the more each student will learn.
Isaiah 50:4
The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of a teacher, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word. Morning by morning he wakens -- wakens my ear to listen as those who are taught.
