When students see me trying things and making mistakes, they become more willing to accept risks and mistakes as normal parts of the learning process. Avoiding mistakes usually means avoiding learning. Students want to know that you care more than what you know. Students live up to expectations. Students rarely excel in an environment of low expectations.
Quality is more important than quantity.
My students learn more when I teach a small amount of material with great depth. Students never walk into a classroom with an empty brain . When I started teaching I thought my job was to fill the students brains with knowledge. I soon learned that students already had ideas about virtually everything. Process and product work better together than apart.
