KISD Highlights: What Are You Learning?

• Have you recently studied something new? 
• Have you looked at at the new accountability system in Texas? 
• What about switched from an android to an iPhone?
• Ever tried to make the switch from a PC to Mac?
• Have you tried learning a new language? 
• What about earning a new degree? 
• Have you tried learning a new computer program, software, or even how to do a new type of process using the same system?
• IF you haven't can you imagine how hard it would be to learn something new?

YOU WOULD STRUGGLE!

And that is a GOOD thing...to an extent.

Struggling with the correct supports in place actually fosters positive growth. When we are too quick to "jump in to rescue our learners" we solve the problems for them without allowing the uncomfortable silence that often allows for self-discovery. 

I challenge you to do what we so often forget to do (although many of you did just that this week!) pause for the uncomfortable silence and challenge your students to rise to the challenge with your support!
