Title: Freedom in the Classroom


1
Freedom in the Classroom
2
  • Freedom to teach
  • Freedom to learn and grow
  • Rules without relationship equals rebellion
  • Boundaries

3
  • Create the most favorable conditions
  • Teacher is a stimulator and motivator
  • Teacher excites and directs
  • Student is an investigator, discover, doer
  • Good teacher focuses on students, not what he/she
    is doing
  • Whats important is what students do

4
  • Different world today
  • Culture kept kids within certain boundaries
  • Movies, music, and television encourage rebellion
  • Schools where a lot of rebellion acted out
  • Teacher is not free to create conditions
    favorable for inquiry

5
  • Boundaries with appropriate consequences
  • Not power struggle, anger or frustration,
    lectures or threats, but love and logic
  • Love allows students to grow
  • Logic allows students to live with the
    consequences of their choices
  • Solution to their problems begins with them

6
  • They have to make the first move
  • Students understand logical consequences of
    their mistakes much better
  • Consequences not focused on relational
    consequences like anger, guilt, shame,
    condemnation, or abandonment

7
  • Teachers should be mentors to students
  • Two extremes best friend or control freak
  • Best is somewhere in the middle
  • When friendship came first passivity resulted
  • When relationship started with respect activity
    resulted

8
  • In other words boundaries equal freedom
  • Students must understand there will be
    appropriate consequences
