HELP KIDS SEETHE BIG PICTURE
In education systems tilted toward standardized tests, grades, and “if-then”
rewards, students often have no idea why they’re doing what they’re doing. Turn that around by helping them glimpse the big picture. Whatever they’re studying,
be sure they can answer these questions Why am I learning this How is it
relevant to the world I live in now? Then get out of the classroom and apply what they’re studying. If they’re learning Spanish, take them to an office, a store,
or a community center where they can actually speak the language. If they’re studying geometry, have them draw up architectural plans for an addition to your school or home. If they’re taking history, ask them to apply what they’ve learned to an event in the news. Think of it as the fourth R reading, writing, arithmetic .
. . and relevance.
