@Drake_jones98 We understand better when we are taught by our peers because they are able to meet the exact level of understanding that you are at. They are able to put information into terms using topics that are relatable to our age.

@Carolin86470106 Teachers can check for student understanding on a topic such as the frog life cycle by playing a game naming the four steps. Students would participate in this activity until they could all name the four steps in order.

When using collaborative learning, how do you prevent students from relying on others to get answers to questions in the classroom? #AUFOUN3100

@lollyz7 Students take risks every day in the classroom when they ask for help. Teachers take risks each day that they teach because there is always a chance the students do not fully understand and they may have to re-teach or answer questions they are not prepared for.

@SarahBrandler This is so important and I think is something we could all learn how to successfully do with our students. When we encourage students and recognize their successes, it will promote inclusion and boost their self-confidence in knowing they are just as equally deserving as others.

"Intrinsic motivation also flourishes when students are not always doing the same thing." (Kohn, 199, P. 220) What are different ways teachers can keep the classroom interesting to better involve their students? #AUCTEE3100

[Julia Sbrissa @sbrissa_julia]

@katherinemossau Teachers can definitely add supplementary materials such as extra books, videos, or activities to incorporate other children's background in the classroom. This would make it more interesting for all students and make those who now feel included more confident in the classroom.

@Drake_jones98 I think when teachers get to share some of their personal life and background with their students, it helps them get to know each other better and have the understand what the teacher has done. It also strengthens their relationships!

What are some opportunities we could provide for our children to learn how to care?

[Julia Sbrissa @sbrissa_julia]

“Offering opportunities to care. People learn by doing, and adults who want children to learn about caring will provide an array of opportunities for them to experience the practice firsthand.” (Kohn, 1993, P. 243) #AUCTEE3100

“When they are younger, students can be forced to sit through a class, but they cannot be forced to be interested in it, or to do well... lower intrinsic motivation translates into lower achievement.” How do teachers encourage students to want to succeed w/o rewards? #AUCTEE3100

[Julia Sbrissa @sbrissa_julia]

@HannahA30650817 A lot of elementary school students value their friends' opinions but only for what seems like a few minutes. Some children are more sensitive than others, but generally, I think most of them are oblivious to the fact that humans are capable of judgment until they get older.

[Julia Sbrissa @sbrissa_julia]

@Carolin86470106 I honestly feel like if students are exposed to inclusion and are taught about different student's ability in the sense that it truly is okay to be different, then we would not have as big of a problem with rejection. It should be normal to them!

[Julia Sbrissa @sbrissa_julia]

@calleneducation I think the most important experiences I have gotten from working with kids is how much I actually learn from them. We are lifelong learners and every day we will continue to learn something new! This is something teachers should keep in mind in the classroom. #AUCTEE3100

[Julia Sbrissa @sbrissa_julia]

@allyeducation I love the idea of encouraging dreaming big in the classroom. Too often kids are given specific instructions on how a task needs to be done which leaves little room for creativity. I say dream on! #AUCTEE3100

What is one thing you used to enjoy doing until you were required to do it? #AUCTEE3100

[Julia Sbrissa @sbrissa_julia]

“Most of us, after all, can think of something we used to do just because we found it enjoyable- until we started getting paid for engaging in the activity, after which there was no way we would consider doing it for free.” (Kohn, 1993, P. 71) #AUCTEE3100
