“I explained to her that I believe we need to be moving away from the tired, old model of teach-centered history instruction centered on data acquisition and rather toward a model that encourages kids to do something interesting and meaningful.”  

PARAPHRASE:    

Teachers should consider guiding their self’s away form worn-out teaching to more advanced teaching. They figure that this way will grab student’s interest and focus better in school during their learning. They also think that this will be a more purposeful way for a student to consider information that will stick with them while enjoying the process.

SUMMARY:

This article written by Nathan Barber is about how teachers are thinking about more a more interest way in teaching their students. They think they should start teaching the more advance way and stop teaching the old fashion way that they use to teach their students. They also think if they teach this way than what they teach might grad the students’ interest in the lesson and they might find this to be a good way of teaching. If they start teaching in this manner hopefully they would see a brighter future and the dropout rate numbers will turn in a positive direction.
