I want everyone, not just new and veteran teachers, to see what is
possible, not just what exists in teaching. Without joy and hope
life is - lifeless I relate honestly some of my failures and worst
mistakes as well as some of the greatest moments of the first
fifteen years of my fifty years of teaching. When I tell these
stories I still get thrilled or teary-eyed as my students outdid my
fondest hopes. I began with little knowledge of what education
could (should) be. I taught the way I had been taught. I talked and
they sat quietly. My second year I was in a master's program in
psychology and I learned about Biochemical Individuality. I was
astonished at the uniqueness of each individual. I began developing
ways to individualize instruction, but it caused my program to be
unbalanced. I wanted them to be become independent, self-motivated,
socialized, and responsible for their actions. I realized that I
had to mix my interactions by having them learn in pairs, triads,
small groups, and whole class. Strict individualization was as bad
as straight lecturing. I called the result the Self-Sustaining
Classroom. It took years to perfect it, but I was attempting more
ways to help them achieve responsible independence. Despite
pressures to do otherwise, I managed to offer my students a total
program with the so-called 'frills" that not only brought them to
school, but stimulated many parts of their brain. I was
"touchy-feely" because children want and need the physical and
emotional components in their relationship with their teacher. I
attribute my success to my enjoyment of teaching children, my
eclectic reading, and my determination to be my own person and do
what I believed was best for the children. Teachers need autonomy
With the legal freedom to discover their Teaching Style and to
express it without fear, teachers will enable children to find
their Learning Style and all will realize their potentials.
