At the beginning of each lesson, I hand out the overview of the lesson, which outlines the key deliverables and points of assessment. This helps students understand exactly what I will be looking for, and provides them with a focus for their learning experience. I also send students periodic updates when necessary, if my expectations change or if I want to check-in with students.
How would you promote these expectations during instructional time?
During instructional time, I promote my expectations of the students differently depending on the lesson. I try as best I can to provide examples of what I am looking for, so that students are clear about my grading parameters. Moreover, I promote instructional expectations sometimes by showing why the lesson is relevant to the students' daily lives or at least, to their standardized test material. I might also refer to past examples of when my expectations were not met, or related anecdotes.
3. Describe the objective of your attached lesson plan and explain why you chose this as your objective. How did your instructional strategies address students with varied learning needs and modalities? How did you know that your students met the objective of your lesson?
The objective of the attached lesson plan on President Kennedy's reaction to the Cuban Missile Crisis is to encourage critical and creative thinking in students, and help them to view history as a springboard for analyzing current events. I selected this topic because it reveals a lot...
Moreover, the Cuban Missile Crisis example shows how the media plays a major role in administrative public relations. Each of these specific learning objectives is relevant to a comprehensive social science curriculum.
My instructional strategies clearly address students with varied learning needs. For example, I understand the importance of incorporating multimedia examples and instructional strategies. Using images is one of the ways that I can anchor students' attention and offer methods of interacting with and encountering material that do not depend on verbalization. This is helpful as much for students with learning disabilities as it is for students who are still learning English. The lesson also includes a film/video, which adds multimedia components. Finally, I acknowledge the role that peer support and collaborative learning play in the diverse classroom. By incorporating a group learning scenario, I was able to help all students meet the academic objectives of the lesson.
The evaluations and assessments I used to determine whether students were on track for meeting the lesson objectives include in-class observations such as watching who does and who does not participate. I also offered students the chance to participate in the group discussions, which were monitored. This helped me to see how students were thinking, and whether their critical thinking skills were being engaged. In addition to these ongoing assessments, I also included summative assessments in the form of a take-home essay.
Thus, by allowing more and more people access to education, and providing an environment in which more can succeed, highly industrialized forms of distance education help remove discrimination biases and barriers to education. Furthermore, highly industrialized forms of distance education increase objectivity, which "decreases the authoritative relationship between teacher and learner" (Example 1, Advantages: Point 7). Thus, highly industrialized forms of distance education also lead to larger strides in
Personal Philosophy of Education Describe the resulting curriculum planning process. My philosophy as a realist / experimentalist (leaning more towards experimentalist) is that students need to critically examine historical events in context (why did certain important events happen and was the result what was expected?); they need to understand (although they don't have to agree with) contemporary social values (some of which are not rational) and how to reconcile their future place
Paradox When Henry Adams described the "task of education" as being "this problem of running order through chaos, direction through space, discipline through freedom, unity through-multiplicity," it appears that he was referring to something that people today would more readily refer to as the meaning of life. This may seem a loose phrase that risks cliche, but in fact it is the easiest way to make sense of Adams's set of
Education today has become more interesting and challenging than it has ever been before. This is particularly the case with the teaching and learning of English as a second language. Immigrants to the United States and other English speaking countries, for example, are faced with the challenge of not only learning a new language sufficiently to be able to communicate in their new environment, but also of fitting in with
Education Administration This internship in education administration provided me with a number of takeaways that will benefit me throughout my career. I learned how to create a safe, collegial environment for change in teacher practice. My strategies enabled a full court press on the issues facing the math department, and strengthened the will of the team to get the job done by insisting each member believes it is important to "Do
There are others though that believes that learners are born with certain innate capabilities that are then shaped and formed from the outside (Montessori theory, 2011) No matter which theory one looks at though the bottom line is that each philosophy is based on the idea that everything possible should be done to encourage as much learning as possible. All philosophies are based on the fact that education should be
