Live with Carine and Christine: Using Risk, Creativity, and Rituals to Uncover a World of Teaching Possibilities

"We can choose to look at the current teaching situation as a risky situation where anything could go wrong, or we can look at it as an opportunity to have courage and take risks and try new things. The more you dare to be creative, the better you become," Carine Chisu says.In this episode, Carine Chisu and Christine Boyko-Head explain how entrepreneurial thinking can be applied to learning and teaching when assessing the risks educators and learners are taking–especially now with new codes of virtual learning and teaching. Additionally, they dive into reciprocal teaching, where learning and teaching has become more of a continuum because teachers are learning and learners are teaching.  "I can teach students something, but they can certainly teach me. Let's share in the knowledge and the places we're at," Boyko-Head says.Lastly, they explain how turning an activity, no matter how small or how big, into a ritualized activity is by 3D-briefing it. They dive into the 3D-briefing process where you ask students: "What?" "So what?" "Now what?"  Where the "What?" is an identification question. The "So what?" is part of the analysis and interpretation. And the "Now what?" is the evaluation and creation stage. Fundamentally, this process helps students understand what they are doing and why they are doing something. "It's more like a bridge that gives you an opportunity to transform from one state to another state," Chisu says.
