Recently, this video has blown up social media....
While many people (myself included) find this video comical, this leads me into the topic of this post...what does the Fox Say?
The book, Fulfilling the Promise of a Differentiated Classroom by Carol Tomlinson frequently visits the idea of a student being a fox, that needs to be tamed. The students (or foxes) need to be tamed through patience, time, and listening. As teachers, it is our job to discover what the fox REALLY DOES SAY! Every fox will NEED different things....every fox will SAY different things. With 30 foxes to teach, tame, and understand, it is a daunting and difficult task. But at the same time, it is the most rewarding and fulfilling job that probably exists on the entire planet. And so it remains...the question we will have to ask ourselves day after day, year after year, student after student is??? What does the fox say!?
While I didn't make it all the way through the youtube clip, I did appreciate the connection! (3 pts.)
