Precision in Language and Thought

1) The document discusses the importance of improving teaching effectiveness through deep and systematic thinking about teaching and learning, as there is no "one size fits all" approach given changes in education. 2) It also discusses how people can learn without being deliberately taught, such as through online resources, and how teachers aim to make learning feel engaging rather than boring. 3) A concluding point is that to help students learn subjects, teachers must provide opportunities for students to experience what it is like in those fields from the beginning of their education.

Precision in Language and Thought Response

During the summertime going into senior year is when I understood that I wanted to be a

music educator. I had great teachers that poured into me and took the time to understand me as a

student and an individual. If I had to summarize this chapter into two words it would be

perspective and personality. In this first chapter, Duke mentions a few nuggets of information

that will help us all be successful as future educators.

The first nugget that I learned was about was the significance of improving the

effectiveness of your teaching requires that you think more deeply and systematically about

reaching and learning. As I continue to read and learn about the importance of education in the

21st century, there is not a “one size fits all” when it comes to preparing teachers to be successful

in the classroom. Look at the world today and the predicament that we are in. I would suggest

that if there was a survey done on a teacher that has been teaching for more than ten years now,

they would have never thought that they would be teaching students music through a computer

screen. The important thing to keep in mind is that despite the challenges that arise, we must

continue to deeply and systemically think about teaching and learning to continue to help

students receive a quality education. I would align this thought under my “perspective” category.

Secondly, Duke talks about how people can learn without being deliberately taught.

Some would ask why I see this as important and I would suggest that teachers are necessarily not

needed due to the digital age. I would assume that some would disagree with my comments, but I

think of it from the perspective of how YouTube can teach me what I need to know faster than

what a teacher can all at the tips of my fingers. With this thought in mind, I want my teaching

experience with my students to be one of which does not feel like just a regular boring class that

they are taking to receive credit. I want it to be a conducive space for students to feel accepted,

respected, and educated knowing that they will learn something new every day. I would align

this thought with the personality of the teacher, but the perspective of the student.

To conclude, this chapter has a statement that all educators should understand before

entering the classroom. "If we want students to learn to become historians, mathematicians, and

pianists, then we must have them do the things that historian’s mathematicians and pianists do,

right from the start." If we want our students to be successful, we have to give them the option to

be successful. We must provide them with the opportunity to experience what if feels like to be

whatever they want to be before they step into it. This is what makes the significance of the

teaching experience valuable.
