In a recent Twitter post from my friend and colleague Lesa Haney, she referenced the infamous quote, "Think Outside the Box!" Here's what she posted: This post got me thinking about how I too have encouraged my students to "Think Outside the Box." Though after careful reflection, I know if I tell my students to think outside the box, then that implies there is a box.
Wait a minute! What box? Whose box is it? Who created it? Why is it there? (screeching brakes sound) **mindshift** I no longer want my students to think outside the "box" I want them to know there is NO box. Our instant world of information has allowed us to dream big, go for things that were once thought to be unattainable. So the next time you want to inspire your kids, don't just tell them to think outside the box, tell them there is NO box!
