Listen to “Are You Teaching or Mentoring?” on Spreaker.
Teaching is a one way conversation. Teaching is about the Teacher…Coaching and Mentoring is about the Student.

- Teaching: Giving information (Info)
- Coaching: Building Confidence and Skills (Tasks)
- Mentoring: Modeling and Helping Achieve Goals (Relationships)
Plato 2400 years ago created the concept of curriculum. Learning was rooted in rote memorization. We now know that the brain prunes knowledge not rooted in experiences.
Three types of wisdom:
- Told
- Deduced
- Experienced
Experience is the highest form of Wisdom.
How are you creating OIL moments for your students (once in a lifetime)?
