  1. My Educational Manifesto Michelle Stanley

  2. PlatoThe Republic “But our argument indicates that the power of learning inheres in everyone’s soul.

  3. William Butler Yeats once said “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”

  4. As educators, we need to light our students souls on fire But how can we do this? • Appeal to as many students as possible. Teach the way they learn! • Make learning environments exploratory! • Stress that education happens everywhere, not just in school!

  5. We must appeal to a variety of different learners

  6. The environment in which we teach our students needs to be exploratory

  7. Please Reflect upon the following "As I came into closer contact with them, I saw that it was not through books that one could impart training of the spirit. Just as physical training was to be imparted through physical exercise, and intellectual through intellectual exercise, even so the training of the spirit was only possible through the exercise of the spirit" "a great teacher designs lessons that allow students to participate in empowering activities in which they understand that learning is a process and mistakes are a natural part of learning"

  8. Our biggest job is to scaffold learning

  9. Education does not just take place in schools, and does not just stop at a certain age. Education takes place everywhere, and is a life long journey!

  10. Apply to multiple intelligencesCreate exploratory environmentsRemember education is lifelong!
