Lots of discussions about trusting kids at school this week prompted by the Daily 5 reading we are doing. It's not something that comes naturally to most of us because as Teachers we have learnt to consider ourselves as the leaders and therefore the directors of how the learning takes place. In my quest to find some further info on this I came across a blog article on Realeasing Responsibilty in Children. I thought it was a good read which raised some more thoughts on how we can do this in our classrooms. It also got me thinking about the language we use with our students and how it could be modified to empower rather than instruct!
