What Do You Think? Seeking out the Voices of Responsible Iconoclasts in Our Schools
Reimer, Kenneth L.
International Journal for Talent Development and Creativity, v4 n1-2 p71-85 Aug-Dec 2016
The purpose of this study was to invite Manitoba high school classroom teachers into a think tank and ask them what they believe they do to help adolescents stay in school and graduate. The study found that teachers took great care in examining the current educational system and practices; they continuously searched for and suggested innovative ways to improve their classrooms, schools, and the system-at-large. Based on the information gleaned from the teachers in this study, it was clear that school systems would benefit greatly from seeking out the voices and drawing upon the talents of high school teachers, and asking them what they think.
