...in the swimming pool
Great analogy. Thankfully it is just that, and no swimming teachers teach this way, because they get it:
- Highly scripted lessons
- Skills largely taught explicitly and in isolation until mastery is achieved. Skills built upon those taught previously.
- Students progressing largely agnostic to age through levels or bands until they achieve competency
- Scaffolds (Parents, Floaties, Goggles) utilised to help all achieve competency (but provided on demand, not as alternative learning experiences).
The perfect analogy for teacher training. I drowned in my first job out of university.
I think most of us did!
A wonderfully mischevious analogy.
This is GOLD!! My husband and I very much enjoyed this!
Thank you for the giggle it's funny because it could be v true
A chuckle on a Sunday morning!!!?
