The teachers shown in the video were great examples of how educators should interact and teach their students for more academic achievement. All the teachers adapted their lessons for their different age group. They guided there students to success which lead their students to gain confidence in themselves along with in the academics (Annenberg Foundation 2015). A summary of evaluating the “Learning as We Grow” video Development and Learning.
Supporting Children as They Grow: Middle Childhood
Ms. MacLean uses many strategies to teach her first grade class about observation and data collection (Annenberg Foundation 2015). She grasp her students’ attention, and spark their curiosity by first asking question about their experiences. She then relates …show more content…
MacLean class is very appropriate for her age group (Annenberg Foundation 2015). Using illustrations and asking them to come up with a conclusion allows them the chance to use their imagination to help understand different concepts. Also by using experiences on their level makes it much easier for students to connect the dots. Being that is more difficult to grasp her student age attention she does this very well though using her strategies that are geared towards their level of learning (Annenberg Foundation 2015). Assessing younger students can be a challenge. Ms. MacLean has come up with creative ways to assess her students learning (Annenberg Foundation 2015). She has them to draw out situations and writes sentences describing what has happened. For example she had two students to work together drawing a sledding race showing the effects of the height of different hills. She also has her class to graph the results of their experiments and once finish they discuss the results as a class. Ms. MacLean ask her students numerous questions that allows her to gage their understanding of the material (Annenberg Foundation …show more content…
Gillian encourages his students to evaluate evidence, draw inferences, and predict outcome, is his approach. He along with the other teachers start off by discussing former experiences (Annenberg Foundation 2015). His teachings help deepen his students formal operational reasoning by asking questions they have to analyze and collect data along with him making the material harder as they succeed. Noticing that the additional abilities of students at each different developmental level they were able to use previous known knowledge to figure out new issues. The older students were of course more advanced. They were able to use formulas, and able to think of real scenarios of the outcome of the cars rolling down the ramp. What helped all students to develop these abilities were their teachers first getting their attention by using passed experience which, allowed them to see the scenario. Secondly through hypotheses they guessed the results which lead to curiosity of the outcome. Thirdly they experimented with different variables and controls. From there they analyzed and graphed their data. This allowed students to build upon what they already knew to strengthen old knowledge and gain new knowledge which, made it easier to makes connections (Annenberg Foundation
