"I don't care what our record is or their record is. The difference between the best and the worst team in the NFL is so minute. It has everything to do with confidence and emotion and being a consistent team on that day."
This comes from current Dolphin Quarterback Joey Harrington when asked to comment on this week’s game against the Chicago Bears.
Since I have been sitting in data meetings all year, I could not help make the connection to our teachers. Grade level comparisons are constantly being made between classes regarding the demonstration of high levels of student proficiency.
Is the difference between the types of teaching (and learning) as “minute” as Joey compares NFL teams? Can a small modification of instruction lead to dramatic student gains?
What is common is that teachers must have confidence in themselves and in their students while remaining fair and consistent throughout the year.
There is a lot more at stake than a world championship.
