A learning environment that inspires students to explore the subject, probably made possible because the teacher is also still open to learning. That's the openness that matters, not so much a loose format. I think my best teachers create a well-defined container with room to wander, collaborate and experiment w/in it.Gingernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3610430154861217625.post-56006998196492617852011-04-15T12:02:09.769-05:002011-04-15T12:02:09.769-05:00I know good teachers who are as strict as they com...I know good teachers who are as strict as they come. But they are able to transfer knowledge, and a love and a understanding of the subject. Others (one of my favorites) had no obvious lesson plans. We would just write down questions on an index card.

Objective/expert model vs subjective/relational/inquiry/dialoguing model. Anyway, I'm thinking a good teacher sets an open-minded, ok-to-be-sloppy environment for the students, and the parent/kid relationship is also heavily influenced by the degree of openness.<br />I love the picture!
