The Random Thoughts of Louis Schmier
The Random Thoughts of Louis Schmier
Should teaching be any different? It takes a lot of work to live, care, and love; it is a lot of work to reflect, articulate, imagine, devise, activate; it is a lot of work to prepare, design, deliver, evaluate to what extent it worked or needs reworking; it is a lot of work to get to know each student, to be in their thoughts and emotions; and so, it is a lot of work to know of the currents students are swimming against in order to offer the support and encouragement for each of them to have a chance to make it.

I’ve always like Louis’s writing. I’ve always gotten something out of what he has to say about teaching. He’s a people guy and I like that. He reminds me on a regular basis, through stories and anecdotes, what teaching is all about at the center and core. Good stuff to ponder as we roll into a new school year.
