I crack up when I hear teachers say things like, "think like a scientist." How can a young learner, with limited experiences and an education that is a work in progress, think like the expert who has invested thousands of hours to his/her expertise? Lest you think I am being superior, I will admit I have said this to my own K-1 class! I suppose my intent is to spark their interest and develop some self- confidence. My goal as a teacher would be to spark the interest of the would-be experts at the grade school level. Is this possible? Tall order!
I return again to the Gladwell book (Outliers) and stand amazed at the outstanding connections. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
