First of all I hope every educator takes the time to read this article, better yet do what this teacher did and shadow a student for a day! The full text can be found at the link provided above, however these are the 3 takeaways the teacher describes:
- Students sit all day, and sitting is exhausting
- Students are sitting, and passively engaged for 90% of the day
- Students feel like a nuisance
In the full article this educator details how she will address these takeaways and offers tangible ideas for all teachers transferable across content areas. For the student perspective pick up Fires in the Middle School Bathroom, pictured below.
