Abstract

Eleanor Duckworth’s words have invited hundreds of educators including myself to enjoy the risk of having wonderful ideas. What makes learning a journey of risky fun? I can remember, with particular clarity, some of my journeys of risky fun and learning in some of those experiences; the butterfly feelings in the stomach, the tension, and the anticipation that would end in a great feeling of accomplishment.

…you can’t separate intellect and feelings in the work of the mind. They’re both there all the time. Real learning—attentive real learning, deep learning—is playful and frustrating and joyful and discouraging and exciting and sociable and private all at the same time, which is what makes it great.

Eleanor Duckworth (in Hatton, 2005, p. 21)

A widely known educator whose work and practices have been devoted to the topic of writing and reading in elementary levels, and cofounder of the whole language approach. I learned with her to read stories in my college classroom.
