This I believe...
Students should
explore their learning on their own terms, guided by a desire to learn.
Student Based
Learning - explore student’s interest within subject
Project Based
Learning - assessment via projects
Interactive
Classroom - multimedia and varying activity type
Flipped Classroom
- part of the learning is done through the computer via online video and
reading
Universal Design
In Learning - adapt to meet all students need
Creating a
Hospitable and Accountable Community - make all students feel welcomes and
valued
My Students...
Diverse - students
in Florida are very diverse
Older - working
with a range of students from 14-19
Distracted - this
generation can have a hard time focusing their energies
I need...
Attention - I need
for the time I am lecturing to be heard, I would like to keep this time to a
minimum
Respect - I need a
basic level of respect
Interest - even if
Science is not favorite subject, finds something that interests them within the
subject
I dislike...
Discourteous -
when students are hurtful or rude to each other or me, or distract someone from
their learning
Drama - it's okay
for life to affect you, and if having a terrible day and needs time that is
okay, but starting drama, anger, or fights in my classroom is not okay
My Rules and Some Tools
My Rule: Respect
for Everyone
Students should
respect each other, the teachers, personal property, and the school.
Some Tools:
Establishing the
environment: showing students respect to establish the type of behavior I
expect, positive note or commenting to the class about how much I respect that
a student showed integrity
Preventing
misbehavior: Building an environment where students want to respect
Responding to
behavior: Pulling a student aside, to discuss the behavior after class. Some of
it can be due to misunderstandings or difference in environment.
My Rule: No Plagiarism
or Cheating
Some Tools:
Establishing the environment:
in the beginning of the year discuss what cheating and plagiarism is and the
consequences of it
Preventing
misbehavior: make the assignments within the range of the students
Responding to
behavior: any assignment in which cheating was involved is automatically failed
