For this assignment, I chose Debra Henderson’s class. After reading the summary, her class seems to be an engaging place for students to learn. With her students completing their “country assignment”, she had them meet all of the NCSS thematic strands: 1. Culture 2. Time, continuity, and changes 3. People, places, and environments 4. Individual development and identity 5. Individuals, groups, and institutions 6. Power, authority, and governance 7. Production, distribution, and consumption 8.…
you is a future and you must protect it in some way. Throughout this paper I will explain Clanson’s seven great lessons, the mathematics applied, and how it has impacted me. Clanson made sure to implement seven great lessons into this book. The first lesson, and the most important, is to pay ourselves first. In the book this is referred to as “Start thy purse to fattening”. This lesson is the most important because wealth cannot be accumulated unless we save what we earn. In the book Bansir and…
[ For lesson number three and four each station had a task card that the students could read at each station. These task cards provided the student the opportunity to discuss and use the vocabulary terms. ] 5. Monitoring Student Learning In response to the prompts…
I want to be able to have my lesson plan well creative and thoughtful nothing to difficult so my students are not able to pay attention because my intention is not to lose them while I’m teaching, I love to teach and I want my students to enjoy being in class, and I also want to relate…
Describe your strategy for transitioning into the next part of lesson. My foldable looks just like yours and as we move through the PowerPoint if you do not know where we are on the foldable just ask or refer to mine, back here. When you are done filling in the blanks for that page put your pencil down. Instructional Procedures/ Learning Tasks: How will you use student-centered instructional strategies to engage all learners? Within your plan, pose specific critical thinking questions that…
My fieldwork focused on early childhood education, specifically kindergarten and second grade. Being able to observe those two grade levels helped me to solidify my desire to be a teacher. At the end of my observations, I was able to determine where I felt most comfortable; where I found my niche. I came to the conclusion that I preferred to focus my attention to kindergarten rather than any other grade level in early childhood education. Even though they were two different grade levels, the…
A. Mrs. Cox was very effective when she taught. The students were excited to learn, and they were very eager to answer every question. She made all of the student’s sit correctly, and she made sure every student was listening. She made sure they knew she was in control, but she was not aggressive in any way. B. Mrs. Cox’s classroom did show the use of Piaget’s Concrete Operational Stage. The children in Mrs. Cox’s class were mature enough to use logical thought (rules), but they could only…
High school is both daunting and menacing. Walking into the school on the first day, most underclassmen are too nervous to look into how teachers act and react to the students. As you go through the year, you start to figure out which teachers like sports, which ones are funny, and which ones do not allow being in the hall without a pass. My first day of seventh grade went as bad as any other middle schooler with the bad luck of going to a junior high attached to the high school. I had walked…
It’s another significant lesson I got word about handling a line of work. When we got the results for the following quarter, we were delighted to find out that we had made money in the 2nd quarter. We assumed that it would be a good idea to use around the same amount we used in…
Vivian Rider My Mentor “Talk to me.” Every time I had an upset or quiet demeanor that leads to shutting myself down from friends and class participation, my elementary school teacher would constantly show her concern when nobody else would. Life isn’t easy and it took me a long time to understand that. Letting others into my life without hesitating isn’t so scary as I thought it would be. Sometimes being alone is the best, but restraining from destroying myself is being strong. What makes me…
