@chance_d_davis I will definitely make sure to use both in my classrooms; both are so beneficial for students, as is the variety in the way we assess them.
I never realized the thought that goes into creating a test. It needs to be fair for the class, challenging, but not too challenging that the students will not understand the content. #PSY347#taooftheweek
I will make sure when creating tests and assessments that I am not only keeping in mind the success of my students but challenging them to make sure that they are learning content. #PSY347#howtodoit
I like the idea of not having to simply assess using an exam. I plan to use a lot of verbal, project-based, and comprehension based assessment. #PSY347#ahamoment
Think teens are too cool for mindfulness? How one high school teacher successfully implemented mindful moments with her students. https://t.co/OKc5SzYTFV
#howtodoit I will use the strategies of an effective network by having students connect what they are learning in school with what they are experiencing outside of school. This can be done by relating school content to students' everyday lives.
#taooftheweek I enjoyed learning about effective networks. The most effective networks will help us in our everyday lives, whether or not we are experts or novices in an area.
#ahamoment I always wondered why I remembered information from when I was a child in a different way than what my parents said actually happened. This is interesting because I have such vivid memories of the first time I got to meet my little brother, but most of it wasn't true
My classroom will be full of thinking of mind. I plan on making sure that my students think about the feelings of others and how their actions affect others. #howtodoit
I realized after this week in class that I am a recursive thinker. I think a lot about what other people think of me and/or how they view me. I need to work on this. #ahamoment
I think it’s really important for teachers to remember that they need to address and talk about bullying. Bullying is not something that should be swept under the rug. #taooftheweek
I loved learning about the different types of intelligences. I think it is important for teachers to realize these differences and be able to teach to those differences, especially when it comes to young children. #howtodoit
I love this article because it talks about how fear and making kids feel terrible is wrong and completely ineffective. We should be encouraging and helping students in all areas.
Stop Telling Kids Their Best Efforts Aren't Good Enough https://t.co/sSziZ4WYX1 via @WeAreTeachers
@BobbiBurmeister Her whole life and confidence changed from there. It’s wonderful how this show represents what children are actually going through in day to day life.
