I've come to believe that the deepest, longest-lasting learning occurs in a highly active, highly engaged classroom, though that kind of classroom can sometimes be a bit chaotic"

​

"Research shows that pristine order and structured lectures requiring students to sit quietly and listen can actually work against deep learning (Colby, Ehrlich, Beaumont,& Stephens, 2003) Doing so makes it easy to completely disengage while appear to pay attention." What do you think about this research?

"One of the central characteristics of those with a maturing biblical world view is active involvement in the development process. Worldview development was something they did, not something that happened to them"

​

"We often tell our students they need to learn 'in order to....' This formula is essentially saying that learning is preparation for some kind of doing"

• ​Think about a class you teach.

• Think about what you want your students do DO in life with that class

• What could you have your students do in class to achieve that goal?

​Example:

I want my students to be able to work with others in their careers, marriages, and churches; so I have many group projects.

I want my students to be able to communicate well; so I often do pair and share and presentations in class​
