Growth

We must always strive to achieve excellence and to be the best version of ourselves. That can only be achieved through constantly seeking wisdom. William blake said, "Ability may take you to the top, but it takes character to stay there". In improving our character we must not assume to know everything but to always seek self growth. This is exactly what these sessions aided me in doing. The audio sessions were very informative and offered a vast amount of knowledge. Not only did the providedefinitions and explanations but examples and dramatization to show how as a teacher one can implement the different methods of promoting critical thinking. They were indeed very useful and has enlightened me in the aspect of critical thinking. This will indeed help me as a teacher.

Fully agree with you Clayton, as educators we must always endeavor to achieve excellence. When given opportunities to better improve on the teaching learning experiences we should grab on to them. Several educators grapple with executing learning objectives not taking into consideration the higher order based on Benjamin Blooms Taxonomy. This critical thinking audio course opened up our understanding of how to properly develop our learners. I agree fully with your reference William Blake who spoke about being on top but only character will leave us on top. Looking on what Blake said I would add to it by saying, "that pride must be eradicated when it comes on to acquiring new knowledge". Meaning as educators don't pretend to know it all because really we all need to grow daily by new and improve methodologies in the teaching and learning process.

I agree with you 100% Mr. Ingram, self growth is essential as educators. We need to improve and what we know and we might just be enlightened to the fact that we didn't know as much as we think we do. This program is a great program. It is for those who know, think they know, and those of who think they know but don't know that they don't know. This course will certainly builds character.

Agree with your comment Ms Samms, Barry G says it best "for those who think they know, but really don't know that they don't know".....Lol
