I think the relevant curriculum element that matters most for my internship and students is deep thinking. When reading this portion of the article, it reminded me of Bloom’s taxonomy and I notice it in action a lot. @DrTchr #Integrating522USC

One thing I feel is challenging is figuring out exactly what I want to teach each day. I have ideas, but they need to be developed more. @DrTchr #Integrating522USC

Benefits are that all subjects can come together and get involved in a unit plan. A criticism is that it can be kind of difficult to make the lessons align. @Drtchr #Integrating522USC

I have grown over the past two weeks as an educator by developing relationships with the students. @drtchr #Integrating522USC

Games are important when enhancing literacy, because students have to use their reading skills to comprehend how to properly play the game. @DrTchr #EDML471

Today’s learning stations reminded me of this: #EDML471 @DrTchr

We need to find ways to help close the socioeconomic gap caused by lack of vocabulary. This will allow all students to have an equal chance. @DrTchr #EDML470

What makes you an intellectual is taking time to get to know your students and how they express themselves educationally. This helps me become better teacher in that thr students will feel more connected to me as an educator and feel safe 1/2 #EDML470 @DrTchr

The most important thing to remember when planning a lesson is that you can cover the standards and still make it fun. #EDML470 @DrTchr

What mattered most to me today was the fact that we can start with a simple song and turn it into a lesson. Along with this, almost any song you choose can apply to any subject. #EDML470 @DrTchr

Got my library card 🤪 @DrTchr #EDML470

One thing that mattered in class today was the three themes of literacy development. I feel that understanding the ideals of these will help produce a successful classroom. @DrTchr #EDML470

[Brittany Derrick 🩷 (Ms. Derrick 👩🏻‍🏫) @brittanyedml]

Teachers need to concern themselves with the concepts we discussed in class, because they are crucial in facilitating a productive and beneficial learning environment. #EDML470 @DrTchr

[Brittany Derrick 🩷 (Ms. Derrick 👩🏻‍🏫) @brittanyedml]

The most important thing I learned about today is that there are many different types of literacy and it’s my job as a future educator to incorporate those in my classroom. #EDML470 @DrTchr

[Brittany Derrick 🩷 (Ms. Derrick 👩🏻‍🏫) @brittanyedml]

I want to learn more about the importance of literacy in education and discuss the role it plays in different subjects. #EDML470 @DrTchr
