Couldn’t be more proud of my younger brother for passing legislation for higher pay for student workers. Well deserved and well earned I love you!

@GiftedTawk Who cares how old we are as a teacher

[DJ Angelaccio-Education @AngelaccioDj]

@MatthewBorows13 I think this is a situation in which UDL could be useful in trying to build in universal accommodations and modifications to try to cover the needs of all students while also maintaining IEPS and more individualized needs.

A6- Responsive, we need to be aware of and engaged with our students needs. If differentiating an assessment so that all of your students can engage fairly is critical to a responsive classroom. #tch296 #tchedbirds

@MsGlupczynski I said responsive too for similar reasons. I think it is absolutely critical to be responsive to your students in the classroom.

[DJ Angelaccio-Education @AngelaccioDj]

@MatthewBorows13 I definitely noticed this too and found it sad honestly!

A5- I think the video confirmed for me that adolescents are going through a difficult time already and school should be a place that they look forward to coming to rather than shutting them down and out. #tchedbirds #tch296

A4- In order to take risks and build off the lessons from “alike” I believe that the first step is creating a culture of respect and trust. Once students feel cared about they will feel ready to learn! I will take risks by building engaging lessons that challenge my students.

[DJ Angelaccio-Education @AngelaccioDj]

A3- It confirmed for me that students learn and engage in many different ways! We need to be able to differentiate to all of our learners styles and help them to succeed. #tchedbirds #tch296

[DJ Angelaccio-Education @AngelaccioDj]

A2-I definitely related to how the student felt in alike. I felt at certain times through out school our teachers tried to follow a cookie cutter approach or a one size fits all type of lesson. This doesn’t work for ALL students! #tchedbirds #tch296

A1: Hello My name is DJ Angelaccio, I am getting endorsed in Social Studies and ELL. I am planning on graduating in the Spring of 2023. This Gif would definitely describe how I’m feeling after completing my third lesson today in #tch296 #tchedbirds

[DJ Angelaccio-Education @AngelaccioDj]

Q5- My goals for this semester being in clinical are to connect with my students first and foremost, gain insight and practice to the behind the scenes aspects of education, and to grow professionally/build on my opportunities while I am actively engaged with them! #tch296

Q4- For me a specific answer I remember obtaining regarded inertia in physics class, it was one of my favorite teachers of all time so the class was really fun and we were in a critical point of our education being juniors in high school! #tch296

[DJ Angelaccio-Education @AngelaccioDj]

Q3- Specifically being in Social Studies I always struggled with the traditional lecture style of the course so as a future educator utilizing small groups and student led discussions would be an extremely effective strategy in participation and overall. #tch296

[DJ Angelaccio-Education @AngelaccioDj]

Q2- I plan on making meaningful connections with my students by being engaging and interactive but also by just having a bit of fun and connecting with students on a more personal level through hobbies and likes/dislikes #tch296

[DJ Angelaccio-Education @AngelaccioDj]

Q1- unlearning the heroes narrative for education was difficult for me with both of my parents being teachers I viewed teachers as heroes my whole life but I now understand that just like any other profession educators need support and proper resources to succeed! #tch296

[DJ Angelaccio-Education @AngelaccioDj]

#socialstudies #TCH235 Social studies is a content area that I hold dear to me so I find it especially important to always view my text through that realm! I want my students to be able to connect to literature examples in a bunch of different ways within the history classroom!

In Chapter 2 of Cultivating Genius, the Author discusses the need for teachers to be taught diverse and multicultural content to further educate future educators for diverse classrooms and settings. Teacher Education Programs should allow for teachers to help all students grow!

For chapter 6 of Cultivating Genius, I would introduce myself with the giving tree because I have always felt it is necessary to help my students out or reach a hand out to those in need #chapter6 #tch235
