"That is a good idea. How can i incorporate that into my class?"
The traditional model of school is so ingrained. Maybe it is just where I live. That is what I tell myself, that reform is not HERE yet. Still waiting. In my curriculum 341 we survey different ideas of what schools should or could look like. Big Picture, 21st century skills, Career and Technical Ed., College and Career readiness, blended learning, and such. We discuss the past, observe the present, and discuss the future; best practices, strategies other programs use, and a litany examples of why business as usual is no longer acceptable. And yet, at the end of the day, I still get:
"But how do we DO that?"
It is not even so much a question, but a statement against; or worse, a feeling of hopelessness. Change is not easy. But it is not as hard as it is sometimes made to be. What are you waiting for?
