"If you think science is boring, you're doing it wrong." Yet how many people hate science? Take pride in the fact that they "don't need" science?
How can I create a generation of scientists in 48 minutes a day?
In my fast growing yet still rural community west of Cleveland, I teach students of all backgrounds. I've created a small library in my classroom, with as many books on my shelves as students on my roster. I teach some of the lowest achieving students in the school, as well as some of the highest. I teach college bound students, tech school students, and future dropouts.
I may teach science, but I teach my students that reading is fun. Every week, at least one student asks, "Are we reading this week?" At the beginning of the year, it is asked with dread. By the end of the year, it is a question filled with hope.
