It is somehow satisfying to challenge the traditional classroom approach using the ubiquitous K-W-L charts to initiate lessons with asking HOW instead - and actually digging deep and wide to find the answers. Promoting this kind of investigative work is the way to find out about things, and it will revolutionize schools when implemented. As a team player, teaching in a school district, it is very difficult to introduce new ideas for teaching. Keeping one's job is part of the very real problem with the system. If enough of us push for open classrooms, we will see the results. Our world needs thinkers and doers who are seeking answers and are not afraid to look for them.
