In-person instruction is valuable but using videos provides clearer instructions of student expectations. I plan on continuing to use videos to provide home-school connections, explain content and provide scaffolds and models.@IEwellEldridge, @Catlin_Tucker, @UCRGSOE, #EDUC344C
During distance learning this year, I learned how to create videos for students to explain projects, assignments and even guided readings. These videos provided effective scaffolds and models for students to refer back to on their own time.
Giving students agency can decrease the teacher's workload, as students should be doing most of the work in the classroom. Creating opportunities for students to be actively engaged in reflection, creating meaning/ knowledge.@IEwellEldridge, @Catlin_Tucker, @UCRGSOE, #EDUC344C
This is essential in today's learning environment as teachers have to take equitable grading practices into consideration and change assessments to something that is student-friendly and benefits their learning. @IEwellEldridge, @Catlin_Tucker, @UCRGSOE, #EDUC344C
In Balance with Blended Learning, Catlin Tucker discusses effective strategies to make your classroom student centered rather than teacher centered, focusing on having students partner with their teacher to guide their own learning.
Multiculturalism and bilingualism should be valued in schools. Students who can speak different languages bring funds of knowledge to the classroom. Teachers can allow students to construct meaning using the language they are comfortable with even if it is not standard English.
@IEwellEldridge I would seek first to understand the reasons of why they cannot or don't want to be involved withholding personal biases. Then I would explain the importance of the home-school connection and try to create a positive relationship with the parent.
Ensuring that our classrooms are an equitable place of learning is essential for new teachers. I plan on building relationships with students and their families in order to understand how to best meet their needs.
Meeting needs of students requires utilizing strategies focused on individualized needs of students. I plan on helping students make connections to the content to personalize learning experiences @CADeptEd, #ELAELDFramework, #CAMathFramework, @IEwellEldridge, @UCRGSOE, #EDUC344C
In order to provide universal access to ELD/ELA/math instruction, teachers must have differentiated classrooms where they allow students to learn and express knowledge multi-modally.
Students who are isolated and marginalized must be prioritized to close opportunity gaps. In my future classroom I plan to focus on acceleration instead of remediation, involve parents in students’ learning and use student-center approaches.
