Teacher Shows a Wider World the Look of Meaningful Learning
This teacher shows a wider world the look of meaningful learning — he wrote a couple of weeks ago, but it’s still important to see his story. Ray Salazar, a Chicago high school teacher wrote to the CNN “Schools of Thought” blog about exploring the topic of gun violence with his students, who experience it almost daily. As you’ll see, Ray didn’t just invite his students to complain or rant. He helped them to read, analyze, evaluate arguments and evidence, giving them tools to understand and cope with their world more effectively.
