How do we capture pure excitement for ourselves and our learners? Excitement is a big part of how we learn, because it shapes our connection to the ideas being shared. When learning is dull or boring, there is very little to remember for the future. What do you do to get you learners excited about the process of learning? What has you excited to learn more about? Currently, My partner and I are learning how to take random ideas and put them into a book form that will bring about curiosity. This is has been a challenge, because it's so easy to go into information mode. The world has plenty of those books. Instead, we want to spark ideas and get teachers excited about teaching again.

In this video, we focus on cooperation, where we each have our own part that works towards a bigger goal of moving the marble farther down the hall. As we engage in professional development as a staff, how are we modeling different ways for learners to engage in meaningful cooperation focused on content mastery? If you look at this video, you might first think of force and motion. When I take a deeper look, this engagement could be focused on measurement, use of materials, variables, etc. What are you doing to get your learners to cooperate in short investigations that spark curiosity and wonder?
