Car Thoughts: Evidence of Engagement is Not Evidence of Learning
Manage episode 484446356 series 2507740
Kids learn at a young age how to show teachers that they are learning. Even if they aren’t… And with many kids, ESPECIALLY when they are not.
The long awaited return of “Car Thoughts”

Short episodes designed to get you thinking about your educational practice. In this episode, I would also submit this as food for thought for parents.
I often hear music educators speak of “engagement” in the classroom as something more than it is: A really good sign. But what is ISN’T is evidence that the student is learning or mastering concepts and skills
Imagine asking a shop teacher: “How do you know your student learned to build a desk?” But, there was no desk built by a student…
“Well, he was engaged when he watched me do it!” would not cut it.
