Multiple factors affect each student, so are we getting a true measure of the cause of the achievement gap? #edp304f13

[Katie Cauthen @EDP_KC]

The achievement gap is more about environment as a whole than race and poverty specifically. #edp304f13

[Katie Cauthen @EDP_KC]

The achievement gap can be widened as students are grouped academically and therefore may be limited on potential successes. #edp304f13

Teaching to the test does not encourage teachers to utilize activities & exploratory projects to promote real world learning. #EDP304F13

[Katie Cauthen @EDP_KC]

@DrDeLeonGray Utilize group learning stations where students are teaching themselves through research, but on a teacher selected topic.

[Katie Cauthen @EDP_KC]

Learning should be facilitated rather than lectured, and this can be done without using a constructivist approach. #EDP304F13

[Katie Cauthen @EDP_KC]

Constructivism can lead to effective problem solving skills, but should be balanced by teacher lead guidelines. #EDP304F13

[Katie Cauthen @EDP_KC]

Reinforcement can also occur in the form of verbal praise or teacher encouragement, not just a tangible item. #EDP304F13

What is one thing that you encounter that negatively affects your self efficacy and how can it be overcome? #EDP304F13

[Katie Cauthen @EDP_KC]

Positive relationships among staff and parents help increase a teacher's sense of efficacy. #EDP304F13

[Katie Cauthen @EDP_KC]

Leading an FFA officer team to successfully achieve goals helped to increase my self-efficacy. #EDP304F13

[Katie Cauthen @EDP_KC]

Focus on students' accomplishments using a positive attitude to increase student efficacy. #EDP304F13

[Katie Cauthen @EDP_KC]

Limitation: There are times we must transfer information in "boring" lecture ways with no social interactions between students. #EDP304F13

[Katie Cauthen @EDP_KC]

As teachers, we must use a scaffolding process to build upon concepts so that students can "modify" them. #EDP304F13 #Piaget

[Katie Cauthen @EDP_KC]

Learning being a social process supports the learning pyramid - students' retention rate is 90% when teaching others! #EDP304F13 #Vygotsky

[Katie Cauthen @EDP_KC]

Students can gain more by looking for the information from a teacher, peers, or books rather than an instant answer via cells. #EDP304F13
