Ready to Learn?? Stifling Their Learning????

In the video by Jason Roseberry, the question is posed...Do we hold students back because we think they aren't ready to learn a concept???   It seems as if we, as adults, think we always need to be in charge of a student's learning instead of letting the child be in charge of their own learning.   I am definitely changing my mindset about this!  If a student expresses interest in learning a concept, I want to let them go with it!!  I don't want kids to think they have to learn at the same rate as everyone else, or on MY schedule!  I think that stifles their learning!!!  We need to turn kids loose on certain projects, and  let them guide themselves through the learning process.  They learn as they are ready!!!  As a teacher I need to learn to guide them NOT micromanage!!!   Students have access to learn so many new concepts at the click of a finger!!!  They don't have to wait on their teacher  to give them assignments, they can choose what they want to learn.  Isn't this the goal to make them lifelong learners????!!!!    This will be a personal goal of mine this school year...to let them spread their wings and fly!!
