Strategic Environmental Assessment

It is imperative that schools grow and change with the times. Well executed change can only occur with learning. Opportunities for professional learning must be rethought and offered with purpose and fidelity, while ultimately resulting in true implementation. In this new era, where there is an increased need for professional learning and a decreased budget to offer it every dollar must be used wisely. Student outcomes must boe positively impacted by the time, money, and stakeholder effort that…

The definition of a true education is the process of developing the ability to learn, apply, unlearn, and relearn. True education is learning. Whether our schools serve this purpose is controversial. IQ scores have been rising since the 1930s, but typical children in the 1980’s experienced more anxiety than child psychiatric patients in the 1950’s. There is even more pressure put on students now than in the 1980’s, Schools have slipped from the teacher having the ability to control their…

He only wanted to experiment with the cars and track. Showing the materials at the beginning of the lesson and keeping them in arms reach derailed my lesson because my student decided to skip straight to the assessment portion of the lesson. In the future, I would inform my students of the materials, but not allow them physical access to them immediately. Another aspect that one of my students faced was keeping the track at a standard height. He kept on holding…

Reflection Summary: Lesson Plan & Instruction: How did your instruction meet the expectations of the Instructional Standards of the NEPF? An expectation within our lessons at my school is to identify the NEPF Instructional standards in our lessons plans and how we anticipate meeting these standards through our instruction. This is my second year writing lessons plans that includes identifying the NEPF Instructional standards. Prior to this course, I found it a bit awkward placing these…

The thematic unit I created is aimed towards enhancing the learning of a first grade classroom. This first grade classroom consists of twenty-five students. The students will be focusing on the theme of winter over the next couple of months, which is why I chose to create a unit on winter animals and their hibernation process. I thought this would be a fun unit to incorporate in the classroom. The students in this classroom have been working on their writing skills as well as their reading…

LESSONS FROM THE CLASSROOM INTRODUCTION The aim of this report is to evaluate my experience during CELTA. First, I will recognize two of my strengths and weaknesses regarding my teaching skills and show concrete examples of them. Then, I will discuss what I have gained from observing other teachers and how this has influenced my own teaching. Lastly, I will identify three ELT areas of knowledge and skills which I need further development in and give reasons for my choices. STRENGTHS AND…

The education system today has the whole pedagogical process down to a science. Take a certain percentage of the student’s multiple choice score and then multiply the free response score by a seemingly random string of digits, then consider the weighted average, so and so forth. Then after crunching the numbers out comes the perfect student: One who can write the proper essay, the correct lab report, correctly perform an experiment, correctly, proper, right. But the system rarely stops to…

2.4 Teaching Teaching is about transmission of knowledge from teacher to student (Harmer, 2003:107). In line with Harmer, Suprijono (2012:12) states that teaching is a process of activity, sending and way of teaching. From the definition above, it can be conclude that teaching is a process of transferring knowledge from the teacher to the students through some activity. The different activity in teaching process will give new experience for the students. Junior High School Students are classify…

Since the setting is hospital-based, as opposed to academic, non-graded, informal feedback is appropriate for providing nurses with an assessment of their individual performance. Formative evaluations throughout the CALS lecture were provided mainly through feedback stemming from case study reviews. The CALS simulation class also included an assessment rubric used to guide observations and identify learning among participating nurses. Formative evaluations, according to Gaberson and Oermann…
