Love this, Kurt! I’m going to riff on your ideas with my teacher prep students this semester and next. You know I’m not a textbook and testing instructor! I’ve been wanting to incorporate board games…infographics, too, but haven’t made it happen yet. I’m so glad I stumbled on your Substack!
Thanks for following Kathy. Please send me some images of the project. Love to see it. I haven't really brought my board gaming life together with my teaching life but it's something I think about doing often. Love to hear your thoughts on this.
I agree learning has to be beautiful too, and there are so many ways to demostrare what we have learned. My love for reading didn’t come from a teacher giving me a book to read along with comprehension questions to answer. It came from Ms Paty first telling us stories from the Odyssey, the entire class gather around a circle. Those are still memories I hold close to my heart.
When teachers share something they themselves are passionate about it has a real impact. I remember Mrs. Dieg, my 1st grade teacher, reading us Raggedy Ann stories. Didn't really care about Raggedy Ann but I loved that these dolls were all over her classroom and that she shared with us her passion for those characters.
