GOOD-centric Exterior Spiritual Disciplines:
To live out goodness, fairness, and love
GOOD-centric Love in Education
"There needs to be a lot more emphasis on what a child can do instead of what he cannot do.”
~ Temple Grandin
GOOD-centric love in education would focus on creating methods of assessment that highlight proficiencies rather than deficiencies. We live in a global networked world so each individual does not need to be a master of all things and certainly not the master of all things beyond a truly common core. By personalizing assessment to what each student does well, all students would gain an appreciation for the diversity of talents that each brings to the table and each individual student would feel affirmed rather than demoralized.
