Mechel said, "Both interest and readiness groups are necessary to meet the needs of all students. By giving students the opportunities to take responsibility for his own learning can create a sense of accomplishment and increase understanding for the worth of education. Excellent teachers are often more of a cheering section for students than head coach. Although both roles are essential in the development of students, the cheering section is what the child most often remembers."

This is so powerful! I didn't think of learning in this way. It is so true, the sense of accomplishment can be so powerful and we, as teachers, should do all we can to allow our students to feel accomplished and increase our students understanding of the worth of education.


Brittiney talked about this quote on her blog, " I can't give myself to this place, to this work, to you until I believe in you. I can't believe in you until I know you believe in me".

This quote is so incredible! It is so important that we create a classroom that is a safe haven, a place where our students feel safe and learn to trust. I think that this will turn into a famous quote while I'm a teacher. So awesome! Love it!
