@adamboxer1 What a fantastic teacher! Loved how the instructions were given and then students were asked to repeat it. As a primary teacher, I wonder if it was too many instructions, however, I feel giving three activities means that if there are early finishers, they can get on to the next!
Question in mind - Are Dioramas or posters a good way to assess student learning in HASS or Science, if there is a rubric involved which assesses only the knowledge and not the 'art'? #teacher#Assessment
@greg_ashman I feel Book Week has stopped being about books and now is more about which costume gathers the most eyeballs on social media!! I sound so negative but honestly, it's just too overwhelming for parents and teachers to keep up!
@greg_ashman While we are at this, can I say I stress so much about Book Week parades..My three years of teaching and every year I stress what to 'dress up' as! More than 85% of the kids buy costumes related to movies turned to some picture books and there is no actual 'Books' in Book Week
Our expectations of students has become so low that I am asked to spend 15 minutes of teaching time coaxing a student to come back after lunch (so I can build a relationship with them instead of senior staff dealing with it!) and they reluctantly return, I am applauded for that!
@margaretmckeow2 I do a lot of choral response with my Grade 3-4 class and I usually pick up which child doesn't respond correctly or is not speaking. Will admit, it took a few weeks to get attuned to it, but works really well now.
