@Carolin86470106 In 3rd grade, my teacher had us pick an influential person from America’s history to research. Instead of testing us at the end, we all got to dress up like the person we chose and present our findings to the class. It was fun, memorable, and allowed us to get creative.

“Internalization... represents a genuine, participative, and constructed process, but nevertheless determined by sociocultural influences.” How can we encourage students to develop their own beliefs rather than conform to what society (or their peers) want them to think?

@laureneducation I believe teachers are quick to jump in because watching students struggle to find the answer may be difficult. However, I think we need to encourage students to figure things out for themselves because in the long run, that will be more memorable than being handed the answer.

“I hope for their academic success, of course, but I hope for their social success as well...” (Cowhey, p. 227)
How can this idea of wanting success for students beyond the classroom play into our teaching philosophies? #auctee3100

@EmilyHethcox Discuss current events, positions in politics, and people who make sacrifices for our country. Look into the differences in our country compared to others. Show how citizens have contributed to our country in the past even without holding a high position (everyday citizens).

@emilylrut I think the best way to teach responsible decision making is to teach consequences. That is the motivation for making good decisions and the sooner students become aware of this, the sooner they will understand that it is in their best interest to make wise choices.

@calleneducation I think it's important to be truthful, but I don't see the point in weighing students down with the harshness of reality when there is plenty of time for that in the future. I think it's very possible to teach the truth at an appropriate intensity level for the age group at hand.

@Carolin86470106 I think it is important to implement lessons that involve group or team work. This will encourage students to work together and build relationships with one another. It will also teach communication skills and help them feel comfortable talking and sharing ideas.

“Another one of these activities that I heard about years ago was telling a story or role playing a simulation about an alien invasion (Cowhey 2006, p. 152)". What are other ways we could use students' big imaginations to teach lessons in class? #AUCTEE3100

“History is more engaging to children when they are given many different kinds of opportunities to engage with it” (Cowhey, 2006, pg. 136). How can we implement activities that will make lessons feel relevant to students' current lives and spark passion inside of them?#AUCTEE3100

@HannahA30650817 We would break so many barriers if we gave up our preconceived notions of others; however, I think this goes back to the fact that our experiences effect how we think. How we were raised/ what we have gone through is probably what prevents this from coming naturally.

When you dream of something, you can begin to take it upon yourself, make it yours, change it. But you have to dream it first p. 57. Could encouraging kid's to dream really make that big of a change? How could we put this in a lesson plan to get them excited to learn? #auctee3100

@EmilyHethcox I think teaching English to non-fluent students is beneficial in the long run considering we live in a predominantly English speaking country. However, holding them to impossibly high standards is only going to discourage them if we don't find the resources to make it possible.

@Carolin86470106 In my opinion, this almost suggests that it is ok to be hateful towards others as long as you act fake to their face. I believe a more productive way to handle this would be to teach children how to respectfully communicate and work through their issues with one another.

[allyeducation @allyeducation]

@emilylrut I am a big believer in positive reinforcement. Not only does it encourage good behavior and actions, but it also motivates children to keep working hard. I personally begin to lose interest if my hard work goes unnoticed, so I find rewarding students to be a great idea.

[allyeducation @allyeducation]

@EmilyHethcox I have always valued the importance of creativity and wished it would have held more significance in the classroom. Since each student has different strengths, I think it is important to give equal value to each subject.

“I believe theory emerges from the practice, and the very best teaching merges theory, practice, and reflection”. Will our first year of teaching feel like trial and error as we perfect everything we have learned and develop our teaching method? #auctee
