This article ties back to what we learned about assessment and rubrics! I love the timer idea because then you are spending equal amounts of time on each paper! https://t.co/KqLbYbovM8
I always thought praise was a form of intrinsic motivation, but after class it totally makes sense that it falls under extrinsic motivation! #PSY347#ahamoment
The best ways to address a non-compliant student are to point out why their behavior is unacceptable, never get into a power struggle, and always stay calm and objective when listening to your students point of view. #PSY347#howtodoit
In class, we learned that motivation equals expectancy times value. This is why it is so crucial that we make sure our students understand the value of what they are learning or they will not have the motivation to do the work #PSY347#howtodoit
Teacher’s need to develop a “Withitness” as one of their strategies in order to maintain a smooth and positive classroom environment. #PSY347#taooftheweek
#PSY347#howtodoit Set up your classroom expectations thoroughly and clearly so that your students know the behavior expected. This creates a positive classroom environment for you and your students.
Being a well prepared, well structured, and honest teacher all leads to a positive classroom climate which helps students learn more effectively. #PSY347#howtodoit
My teacher in 3rd grade was one of my favorites because he was always so aware of us. It was literally like he had eyes on the back of his head! He clearly had the “withitness” strategy. #PSY347#ahamoment
Unconscious biases are present in everyone, and the only way to overcome them is to become aware of them. As future teachers we must be aware so that we hold all of our students to the same standard. #PSY347#taooftheweek
https://t.co/y7NlOLQeqG I found this link very interesting after learning about gender differences in class this week. I strongly agree that schools are more centered toward girls success in academics, and boys are being left behind.
The main way to overcome Stereotype threat is to realize that you already have biases that you may not even be aware of, and face those biases and challenge yourself to change so that you come into your classroom with and open mind for your future students. #PSY347#howtodoit
When my whole 3rd grade science class was interested in platypuses, my teacher went for it and we did a whole unit on them and I still remember everything we learned. This was a good example of student-directed learning. #PSY347#ahamoment
Teacher-directed and Student/learner-directed instructional strategies work best when they are used together with aspects from both strategies. #PSY347#taooftheweek
This goes along with having enthusiasm with your students in school subjects, as well as the Transformative processes we learned about a couple weeks ago. https://t.co/X4gnbIHABf
How can educators make social studies exciting for students? “Connect the past to the present, personalize topics, and present information in engaging ways” https://t.co/53OV5syDPA @educationweek@Larryferlazzo
I love this example of cultural mismatch! As teachers, we must be aware of cultural mismatch so that we can address situations like this in our classroom. https://t.co/FI1ecIF6QO
#PSY347#ahamoment In a classroom I watched, one student throw pencils at others when a someone would ask for one. He said he did it, because at home he throws things at his sibling when they for an object. It was cool to see cultural mistmatch in a real classroom
As a future teacher, I want to be confident in my abilities, so that I build confidence in my own students and help them grow in their self efficacy. #PSY347#howtodoit
Realizing that after all these years I have hated geography, simply because I learned vicariously from a teacher (that wasn’t motivated by the subject) that geography isn’t fun. #PSY347#ahamoment
Culture plays a huge part in learning. Our cultures influences the way we think and process and understand the the concepts we are learning, so teachers who can explain and teach their students in many different ways will be most successful. #PSY347#taooftheweek
