elegantlion Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 ...when you're doing high school? I feel happy with where we're at and where we are headed. However, I keep seeing this books on educational methodology/philosophy/trends recommended. They look great, but I don't feel compelled to read them. Should I? Most of my focus is going into individual subject content and guidance counseling knowledge (gah!). I did read Climbing Parnassus a few years ago and read WTM and LCC on a regular basis. So am I missing anything by not reading them? I feel comfortable with what we're doing, I just don't want to be complacent about these last few years.

regentrude Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 No, I do not read any books about education. I have figured out my kids' learning style, know what works for them and us and what fits our goals and have a pretty good idea how we will progress. I keep reading about materials and curriculum even though I really should not; I have a plan for how to proceed and what materials to use for the remaining two years. There is always more out there. I am not particularly interested in educational philosophies or styles (and most definitely not "trends"), so I'd rather read books about something else.

Thank you, that makes me feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8filltheheart Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I don't read much about methodology anymore, either. I do listen or read various things when I need inspiration/motivation. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
