Children have the Potential that Adults forgot that we have...
It may be too late for most adults to blossom into the exquisite, vibrant, creative and successful people that we were meant to become, but this is easy for children.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I know that adults can transform, if they relearn how. But, with children, the "self-esteem by sharing self" process is still natural and innate.
Of course, we need to stop the stagnation that current educational practices use to squelch, stultify, and constrict our children's progress. But, doing so frees education, creates a symphony of success, and builds an environment of shared success.
Discoveing Children's Potential
Children's Talents and Skills: Your Teaching Opportunity
If you think that children are born as "Blank Slates" that can be written on with anything that adults wish, think again.
If you know that children possess fabulous innate abilities, capacities for creative success, talents that can be strengthened and nurtured...you are right.
To draw out the best that children have to offer, you have to believe that they are more than the product of your teaching. You have to cultivate learning at a deeper level than the shallow focus upon test scores.
Art, Music, Science, Engineering, Technology, Leadership, Inventiveness...you won't know what the contributions of genius that your students will make to the world until you strengthen their confidence in becoming themselves.
The external curriculum is important, but the internal curriculum of genius that craves creative expression in each child is more important.
You can be much more to your students that the "facilitator of facts." You can be a guide and coach. Start today by believing in the innate abilities of your students.
