Today I came across this blog post on my Google Reader - Blogush. Isn't this what we want from our students? When watching this video, my first thought was, "How safe the environment must be there for her to take such a huge chance." Don't we all want to create that safe learning environment, which truly let's the children know they are loved, appreciated and truly safe. The environment that fosters learning and taking chances. Where the learning is part of their choice? Wouldn't they be more invested in their learning with some choice? Thank you Paul for a wonderful example of how you taught engagement and provided student choice assessment. Wonderful. PS - My daughter is a dancer, so this is even more touching to me. Maybe I will tell her to try something like this at her school! :)

That was cool. I only hope that my girls would be able to take risks like that in the classroom. I know my son will take the risk!
