Introduction Pairing Up was an article written by Liana Heitin, about co teaching a third grade class in Norwood Elementary in Baltimore, Md. This article focused on the dynamic of the general education teacher and the special education teacher. It discussed how the teachers schedule collaboration, intense instructional environment, checking the students understanding of the lesson, having an engaged classroom and making modifications for the students within the classroom. The article discussed support system for co teaching classrooms and how data was collected.…
This in turn allows for students to have a better viewpoint on their peers. These cooperative learning strategies also make students rely on one another in order to improve each other’s learning. It is important to make sure that these strategies are used frequently in the student’s classes to help build peer relationships. It is also important to make sure that these strategies are not only about academics. They should also be used as team building opportunities, one way I do this is by having the students do a think pair share about what they are going to do over the weekend, or I have them create a list of their favorite food through a rally write where they take turns writing their favorite…
Think, pair, share activity where students must generate ideas related to the topic. • Students will independently find the answer, talk with a partner, and then share with a whole group. 2. Discussion used throughout the entirety of unit with students. • Structured collaboration among the entire class with a specific purpose in mind; teaching students to work together to think of new ideas or concepts related to the six types of animals.…
Watch the three short videos of the “Teacher’s Lounge” Launch on Edthena (Clip 1: https://app.edthena.c om/conversations/38noFEYLBjTC4nhsN Clip 2: https://app.edthena.com/conversations/9sR5DM6QYtJo49rcx & Clip 3: https://app.edthena.com/conversations/Bg3AtnreAqXQBz5Q5 ) and respond to the following prompts: 1. What scaffolds does this teacher use to “Launch” this problem and give her students access to the task? What connections can you make between this clip and the ideas around “Launching Complex Tasks” as described in the Jackson et al article assigned with this IPC. Please cite specific moments from both the clip (using a time stamp) and the article. a. In the first clip the teacher uses everyday experiences to introduce the subject…
The key purpose of using a thought form is to identify thinking errors, and that they are reacting on auto pilot or subconsciously to the events around them. It assists the client to identify these unhelpful behaviours and helps them develop the skill to address them and change the outcome there for giving them proof to discredit negative thoughts and opinions about their self…
A schools ethos should always be reflected in the working practices of the staff. The schools ethos may be very clear, but it should also be apparent from pupilsâ€TM and staffsâ€TM day to day practice and behaviour. - Children should be valued in the school and there should be a culture that their learning and development is celebrated in a variety of ways. For example, students should be praised by various methods such as certificates, praise forms, verbal praise, prizes, trips etc. Some schools also develop methods for pupils to collect praises/rewards for example, which also promotes pupil progress.…
While reading “Using Collaboration, Co-Teaching, and Question Answer Relationships to Enhance Content Area Literacy” by Nicole Fenty, I had a chance to learn about some strategies that can be used while co-teaching with a Special Education teachers and a general education teacher. Collaboration is the key to success in a general education setting where there are students who have an IEP because the teachers need to be on the same page of what the students need to learn while Co-Teaching. It is important that each teacher shares the responsibility of teaching the students. This sharing of responsibility allows for teachers to become more knowledgeable in their subjects which, allows them to teach the areas they know the best. Being knowledgeable…
Bruffee argues that the concept of learning is a social rather than individual process and that learning is not assimilating information but rather a social and collaborative effort to create and maintain knowledge. Peer tutoring and in-class group work was used to engage freshman college students who refused traditional help, which led to the discovery that these forms of collaboration did not change what students learned, but how they learned. Oakeshott argues that what distinguishes human beings is our ability to converse both within ourselves and among us. Internal conversation is reflective thought and is causally related to social conversation. Our ability to think is inherently related to our social conversations and has several limiting…
Wallace’s thesis stamen is about how liberal arts teach how to think outside college and student can choose what to think and people have to start thinking that they are not the center of the universe. In his speech he uses metacommentary explaining his stories about the two young fish, the two guys in the bar of Alaska and the guy at the grocery market. He explains that most of people have these experiences, but he explains what he means is people as humans have the choice to think different and be open-minded. He focuses that liberal Art is the best way to acquire this critical thinking but it take time and a lot of effort. Wallace said, “Learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what to think”.…
In many lessons students work together in groups. This incorporated the Cooperative Learning teaching as well as the communicative language teaching. This was displayed when students were working on a story for their english class. Students who were more proficient in English read the paper of their peers and made corrections and suggestions in order to make the paper stronger. This assignment got students talking and working together just like we discussed in class.…
2.3.2 Negotiation of Meaning in FTF Interaction Foster (1998) represented a classroom perspective on the negotiation of meaning. He argued that tasks provide comprehensible input by exchanging information and results in comprehensible output which this process promotes learning. The study was conducted in a classroom setting by intermediate English foreign language learners. They engaged in information exchange tasks in both dyads and small groups. The results revealed that dyads produced more negotiation moves because the nature of dyad setting forces the parties to negotiate together in order to solve the problems and follow the process of task, Whereas in small groups setting participants were reluctant to take part.…
This theory would be useful when working with Amanda because she can use her information processing abilities when provided with multiple exposures to patterns to strengthen her parallel distributing processing functions to increase her receptive and expressive…

Collective Learning Technology has brought huge influences on everyone’s lives. The Duke University had brought iPod as an academic device and educational experiment to all the first-year class students. The iPod inverted the traditional role of technology, which has many new functions. Students not only can listen to music, but also use the iPod as an academic device to collaborate with others. This concept can be seen in Project Classroom Makeover, by Cathy Davidson.…
