Funds of Knowledge #4

"Moll urged them to help students find meaning rather then learning isolated facts and rules."

When i was reading the article this here really stuck out to me. This research shows that students don't learn the best with just being talked to the whole time they are in the classroom. We need to take from students strenghts and their backgrounds and start teaching to students strengths. Students don't start school without some type of knowledge. It may not be the cutty cook form that all the older teachers are use to following. If we would just look close we will see students who do math on construction sites with parents or student who write there own poems with their friends. All of these are things we can build on in our classroom. It is time to stop talking to our students like they know nothing and start listening to what they already have to show us.
