This used to be Seven Keys of Great Teaching, but Dr. Oliver DeMille added a new key in his new book "Leadership Education: The Phases of Learning". I feel that these keys are useful to every family - home schooled, public schooled, or charter school.
- Classics, not Textbooks
- Mentors, not Professors
- Quality, not Conformity
- Time, not Content
- Inspire, not Require
- Simplicity, not Complexity
- You, not Them
- Secure, not Stress - NEW!
My first instinct when reading this list was, "I can do this!" and then it changed to, "HOW do I do this?" Over the next few months I will post about each KEY to Great Teaching.
