Here is a resource with a list of intangible rewards that could help encourage motivation if you have a token economy in your classroom!

This is a great thing to keep in mind so that you as the educator can be equipped with things like snacks, an extra toothbrush/toothpaste, or anything else that might improve a student’s overall well-being. https://t.co/1Lg3sDpMfL

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs explains that a person cannot focus on meeting the needs of a category until the more important needs are met This explains why students have such a hard time focusing on school when they are not getting the food or rest they need #PSY347 #taooftheweek

#psy347 #howtodoit Keeping the equation of motivation in mind, we can be reflective in our teaching and put task analysis to use in order to determine a child’s expectancy and the value that goes along with true learning.

#psy347 #taooftheweek The idea of hot cognition reminds us how powerful emotions can be in regards to memory. This can help us to foster a more uplifting vibration and be mindful of how sass, aggression, and shame can have a lasting impact on our students.

#psy347 #taooftheweek Anxiety can be both a chronic state of being or a consistent trait of an individual. This can help one determine an individual’s capacity for various tasks as well as help us to reduce that kind of stress.

This is a great resource that lays out the definitive difference between formative and summative assessment!

#psy347 #howtodoit There are many ways to informally assess your students without giving ‘traditional’ tests. Exit slips, rating things using 5 fingers, class/group discussions, and thumbs up/down are just a few ways you can check in with your class climate and understanding.

#psy347 #ahamoment Many problems with assessment lie in teacher to student communication. Whether it’s content, instructions, or transparency we as current students and future teachers need to be wary of this disconnect and be proactive to combat these issues.

[Carla Dillinger @CarlaDillinger]

#psy347 #taooftheweek Assessment is vital for both teachers and students to monitor progress and illuminate areas of improvement. But to be able to do this, the assessment must be fair, reliable, and valid.

#psy347 #taooftheweek As a licensed teacher you are required to act as a mandatory reporter. And this extends to all areas of your life, not just within school parameters.

Here are a couple helpful ways that we can implement a sense of comminity in our everyday classroom settings.

[Carla Dillinger @CarlaDillinger]

#psy347 #ahamoment sometimes the best strategy for combatting a behavior problem would be ignoring it so that you do not positively reenforce that child’s disruptive behavior by giving that student attention that they may seek

[Carla Dillinger @CarlaDillinger]

#psy347 #taooftheweek promoting self-regulation in your classroom can allow for students to take responsibility for their learning as well as seek the value in your classroom expectations.

[Carla Dillinger @CarlaDillinger]

#psy347 #howtodoit To deal with a student that is passive non compliant you can address the class as a whole to restate expectations or give praise to various students for being on task to hopefully in turn motivate the child to engage.

[Carla Dillinger @CarlaDillinger]

I completely agree! Children are taught these social normalities and stereotypes at a very young age and can have a negative effect about how they view themselves and their opportunities. https://t.co/jVGtQQP7zj

[Zolís Eddy @zolis_eddy]

Unconscious biases are present in everyone, and the only way to overcome them is to become aware of them. As future teachers we must be aware so that we hold all of our students to the same standard. #PSY347 #taooftheweek

[Carla Dillinger @CarlaDillinger]

This would be a great subject to enrich a student centered classroom. You could allow students to think critically of their personal experiences with unauthentic news and develop conversations/projects around it based on your student’s interest. https://t.co/xXOVwj6Vqa

[Aleta Margolis @AletaMargolis]

With the rise of fake news, media literacy and critical thinking are more important than ever, and should be embedded in the teaching of all subjects.

[Carla Dillinger @CarlaDillinger]

#PSY347 #ahamoment A pure example of true student centered learning would be a science fair. The student is in control of what experiement they want, how they execute the experiment, and the analyzation of the results. This allows students to pave way for a better understanding.

[Carla Dillinger @CarlaDillinger]

#PSY347 #howtodoit Task Analysis is especially important in a special education classroom where each student might have extreme difficulties with the motor skills required to complete something. Knowing this skill can help you account for that and provide the necessary tools.

[Carla Dillinger @CarlaDillinger]

#PSY347 #taooftheweek In terms of using the backward design for planning lessons, make sure to keep in mind that these may not be the most appropriate tool for day to day lesson plans. This tool focuses on the assessment piece and builds up from there.
