Sandra
Kaplan,
an educational
researcher from USC, developed a way of addressing children in the
classroom and a method of teaching children about scholarly
attributes. This method is being utilized at Bathgate Elementary
School. The children will be referred to as scholars. They
will be studying these scholarly attributes in themselves and learning
to recognize them in other people throughout history and
literature. All scholars possess these nine scholarly
attributes. In order that parents may be aware of these to discuss
with your children, included is a brief synopsis of these attributes. |
