About Dane

I’ve been a classroom English teacher for 9 years, bilingual in Mandarin, and am also a Realtor and author able to teach Business English, ESL, and Public Speaking to non-native English learners. I’m very effective at my craft and help each child “return to their root.”

About the lesson

What is your current approach/philosophy of the teaching of writing, especially digital writing?

I start from the student's true self without knowledge dumping so they can "return to their Root", and students as young as 11 discovered their own writing voice 20 years ahead of most aspiring adults. My best students consistently produced very mature, well-written prose that uniquely stems from their innate wisdom, so this is what I sustain in front of them the whole time throughout their writing development. I also provide very detailed and rigorously thoughtful feedback on student's written work, utilizing Google docs "comments" fields and in-person feedback with generous time given. I maintain this feedback until the student is completely satisfied with the quality of his/her improved rendition.

Are you an active member of any professional writing organizations? Please list. I'm open-minded to recommendations, although it hasn't crossed my mind since I'm not impressed with most of the books written as "consumables" these days, so I authored my own.

What is your experience both in the classroom and in the realm of writing education & Do you have any strong beliefs towards the teaching of writing? I've experienced that writing is something that should be actionably done more by students, and taught about less. Anybody's best writing only occurs in a comfortable environment to the specific individual who writes, and this is also true of reading. I intuitively knew that young children possessed everything within themselves to write as well as the best adults, provided that they aren't asked to critique or develop artificial opinions about things beyond them, and they went beyond my expectations within that sphere. Strong beliefs are ignorant and not the truth. The truth doesn't contend with people, for it demands nothing and takes no prisoners, which is why it's so appealing and makes people's faces glow with brightness. Division and contrast are good; only extremities are bad. Nothing should be done with intensity for too long, such as holding onto an attitude or opinion. These are adult failings left behind for children to trip over, and post-1500 models of education teach too many abstractions, not things that are solid, and these breed contention.

What essentials of writing must be taught in order to succeed in our modern world? What digital tools have you used in the classroom? for example No Red Ink? I went over the foundation already, and it's crucial that one has a very well-developed kernel of a thesis for writing if he pursues to write something of critical acclaim, rather than for an ideological or egoic purpose, even if well-intentioned, because the work always turns out pretentious unless that kernel is blameless from the beginning of its development, and that occurs at the Root. The distinction is apparent to oneself when he's engaged in more discovery than asserting something onto the page. Even if it sounds aesthetically pleasing, it may not be centered and come off as disjointed or forced. Or worse, artificial. Some authors of fiction are encouraged to start by mimicking a favorite author's style. I successfully did this during my first iterative work, and I made it my own, but after starting strong before only halfway finishing at a stall, I don't recommend doing that. Every aspect of the writing process has to be authentically from your root, or else it will eventually veer off halfway through the book without remedy. Importantly, this authentic process is punctuated with continual ranges of excitement as one continues to discover "treasure within", and this is the most magnificent work. I believe it may be the only "work". When I began my second project, I had a complete understanding of my subject that was arcane, flourished it with a few complimentary ideas, and then perfected the thesis with a discovery I made halfway through the book by discovery of the subject's mirror counterpart. The book I finished can probably be elaborated on with more brevity, but no marketable revisiting of the subject matter could be more complete.

Please describe your understanding of the Writing Process in grade-school education. Emphasize energy, self-valuing, writing fundamentals and prose aesthetic. Then set teaching objectives based on individuation, not division of self or slicing and dicing objects of opinion. When a student resonates with a certain teaching, it's not the book nor the teacher that teaches him, but his true self. The students' true self shows up in manners that are fun, as well as serious. All reading and writing should be done at home except to evaluate new students. Ultimately, the kids should be laughing and not taking anything too seriously except when they're seriously engrossed in what they learned about themselves overcoming manageable obstacles, and this shows up in their temperament that's appropriate for the task. Tasks geared towards "instruction" should be 70%, while 30% should consist of play. Character-developing learning occurs mostly in social interaction, not academic instruction, and that determines long-term career success more than anything else.
