Aspire to make a book with lower schoolers; aspire to make my own rubrics in conjunction with kids; aspire to make more tools that kids can have to practice language outside of the classroom; agree that it's never too late to retire your brain, aspire to rethink the purpose of assessments; agree that we're all bait strange and learn to just roll with that rather than fight it; agree that we should look at diversity as deeply as possible and not get caught up in superficialities, aspire to convert kitchen byproducts to biodiesel within the Liggett environment; aspire to help students inculcate a sense of obligation to the Detroit community and not see their time here and their time in college as stepping stones to careers and endeavors beyond the community. In other words, encourage students not to put Detroit in their rear view mirror; agree that teaching is not a one- way flow of information
What does this mean for our work at Liggett with kids?
1. Never too late to rewire and improve practice - this leads to new ways of engaging students in worthwhile educational endeavors 2. That we, as teachers, are actually fellow learners, and it's important that students see us struggling, trying and perhaps failing rather than assuming that we are all finished intellectual products 3. Students seeing teachers go off to professional development should mean to students that their models value exploring new ideas and possibilities. Learning does not have a terminus.
