Austin's Butterfly

 

Our lecturer show us a video which is the Austin's butterfly which help building excellence in student work. This video had inspired me in my teaching job.

How this video can be useful: 

• A great model of critique and revision for students and teachers of all ages; it has been used a metaphor for improvement by students from kindergarten to high school, and by teachers and school leaders. It’s clear, visual image of the reason to have high standards and systems for improving work.
• An example of the difference between creative drawing and scientific drawing.
• The specific changes in his drawings can be linked to very specific feedback from peers, illuminating the need for critique to be targeted and specific.
• An inspirational model of the power of perseverance and revision to improve quality.
• An example of how we often stop short in school from pushing students to a high level of quality.
