I find myself searching for assignments, activities, and other approaches that will make my students more aware of all that they are learning—not just content and its application, but those larger lessons that educational experience teaches more indirectly. I’m thinking about the importance of participation, of thinking critically, of respecting and learning from others, and of seeing that the responsibility for learning ultimately rests with the learner. My students are so focused on grades, points, what the teacher wants, and what they need to know for the exam that these larger lessons are learned without much conscious awareness.
