In class, we learned that motivation equals expectancy times value. This is why it is so crucial that we make sure our students understand the value of what they are learning or they will not have the motivation to do the work #PSY347 #howtodoit

Cognitive Dissonance is the discomfort felt when new information conflicts with current beliefs. Everyone has experienced this and as teachers it is important to understand when students are doing this so their is no misunderstanding about emotions #PSY347 #ahamomnet

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

This week in class, we learned that rubrics are important for students to understand exactly what is expected for them to do. I agree with this and as a student I always become very confused without the guidance of a rubric. #PSY347 #ahamoment

Assessment is any formal or informal used to evaluate students. This is important for teachers to realize because many people think assessments have to be formal, but, it good to know how your students are doing using simpler methods of assessment #PSY347 #taooftheweek

I believe finding a mentor to help you out is so important. You can turn to them for advice and learn tricks and tips from them for your classroom especially about classroom management. https://t.co/NAMGsVBRFA

Every teacher needs a mentor. Find that person who challenges, advises, and celebrates you—and be that person for someone else. https://t.co/m7ukIRGK0y

To keep your students engaged in your classroom at all times make sure you have all of your lessons practices, prepared with all materials needed, and give little wait time to start the next activity. #PSY347 #howtodoit

In class we discussed the importance of arranging an effective classroom and setting clear expectations from the beginning. When I was in school the teachers who did these things the first day of school did not have behavioral problems throughout the year. #PSY347#ahamoment

Establishing a caring, safe, and respectful environment that allows students to feel comfortable in to achieve their best learning is one of the most of important things a teacher can do. #PSY347 #taooftheweek

[Samantha Martinez @SamMartinez4273]

I agree this is very important to have and thorough and organized lesson plan because if you want your students to be successful you have to know exactly how you want them to be and exactly how to get them there. https://t.co/hlzumAUkq4

#PSY347 #howtodoit When creating a lesson plan it is important to be as thorough as possible and organize your plan in order to get out what you expect from your students. There must be goals included as well as strategies and accommodations/ modifications

Content appreciation is a great way to help students view learning as worthwhile and valuable because it connects the content to everyday experiences. #PSY347 #howtodoit

[Samantha Martinez @SamMartinez4273]

I connect to the stereotype threat often when I am around men and we are playing sports because there is a stereotype that men are good at sports and women are not. #PSY347 #ahamoment

[Samantha Martinez @SamMartinez4273]

Everyone has their own biases but it is extremely important that as teachers we realize that we have biases and that they could affect the way we teach our students. Just being aware that we each have biases lessens the likelihood that we let them effect us. #PSY347 #taooftheweek

Cultures create mental tools which transform our mental work. It is extremely important that we as teachers understand what tools our students need and which tools are best used in every situation. #PSY347 #howtodoit

Self-Efficacy is self judgement about ability. Previous successes and failures can impact it. I have always wanted to be a teacher and after having many validations in my experiences with students and teaching has led me to have a high efficacy. #PSY347 #ahamoment

[Samantha Martinez @SamMartinez4273]

The zone of proximal development has three zones. Teachers should be teaching students in the zone of tasks that they can only do with help so they can move to the next zone of tasks they can do by themselves. #PSY347 #taooftheweek
