Gift of Wonder - A True Story Showing School As It Should BePaperback
Can you remember the world of movement, wonder, and intense sensation that you lived in when you were six years old? Kim Allsup would like us to start lighting fires--to stop treating children like empty buckets. Does education mean filling a bucket or does it mean lighting a fire?In today's predominant educational environment, where high-stakes testing and anxiety reign, it's clear that the goal, though implicit, is to fill buckets.
Yet this book contains no arguments--it is not a change-of-policy proposal, nor is it a polemical treatise.Kim Allsup is a teacher and a teller of stories, and so this book, to look only at the surface, tells the story of the six years a teacher spent with her class. She sees that the vital essence of education has been sucked out of most schools today; that we must strive, above all, to it bring it back; and that the situation is indeed urgent.
