Where am I right now – between 1 and 10 – in taking absolute responsibility for myself as a learner in school? Joan Berland (part 5)

How would you, as a teacher, get a young child to take absolute responsibility for their learning right now?

In part five I talk to Joan Berland about development scales as one way to make a vertical perspective, in regards to behaviour and learning, something tangible. We can use a scale of 1 to 10 to individually (Upper Right Quadrant) and collectively (Lower Right Quadrant) describe a particularly area of development.

Ten is where we want to be all the whole time; it is where the field is created and comes alive. It is where everyone is taking full responsibility for the direction the field is headed in. It is where I take full responsibility for everything I do and say, Life and learning has meaning, and I care!

One is where I take no responsibility for anything I do or say. I am barred from class. Life and learning is meaningless. I don’t care!
