    "Close Reading and Argument Writing - Authentically Across the Curriculum 7/16/2015 0 Comments Close reading of informational texts and non-fiction articles is not - and should not be - reserved for language arts classes. Every content area would be immensely enhanced if science teachers, social studies teachers, physical education teachers, welding teachers, woodworking teachers (in other words, "all technical subjects," as Common Core states) would not push aside the textbook, but instead embrace it, along with content area and trade articles. Students would then simultaneously learn how to dissect the readings while gaining knowledge in these content areas. What often happens is that teachers feel that students can't handle the text books or can't read the articles independently - and often that is true. However, when teachers instead go into a survival mode, of sorts, and read aloud the whole chapter or article or summarize it with a slideshow, it ends up doing a disservice to students - students are not learning HOW to read these complex texts. They are not learning how to acquire the information on their own. They are not being given the skills to read the sometimes intricate information within a particular content area or even within their possible future trade. They are not being given the opportunity to read, understand, articulate, and discuss or even debate topics within their area of study. Teachers sometimes feel that they can't do these things with students because they are not language arts teachers, or because they don't have time, or simply because they don't know how. Alternatively, a simple solution is to let go of the control and let students do…..with the guidance called close reading. Close reading is a guided reading approach. It is guided because 1) the close reading strategy is reserved for complex texts that are often too high for students to be left with independently and 2) students don't use close reading strateg

COLABORACIÓN DOCENTE - 0 views

    "En este post, quisiera expresar mi visión sobre el trabajo colaborativo entre docentes, fruto de la experiencia en la implementación de diferentes situaciones de aprendizaje de forma colaborativa en nuestro grupo de trabajo. Entendemos por aprendizaje colaborativo aquél que se construye de forma conjunta y mediante el esfuerzo de todos los miembros del grupo (Noguera y Gros, 2008). Diferentes autores sostienen los múltiples beneficios que aporta la colaboración docente. Entre ellos, mejorar la práctica educativa, compartir conocimiento (Pérez-Mateo, 2010), romper con el aislamiento profesional (Ibarrola, 2013), crear cosas nuevas e ir más allá del mero intercambio de información (Guitert et al. 2008). El otro día leía en un interesante post de Aula Planeta las Diez razones para aplicar el aprendizaje colaborativo en el aula [Infografía] las cuales me han parecido totalmente aplicables y extrapolables a la colaboración docente. El trabajo colaborativo entre docentes permite por ejemplo: Crear conocimiento de forma compartida para la resolución de problemas comunes. Potenciar las habilidades de relación social y romper con el aislamiento docente. Reflexionar críticamente sobre la propia práctica, buscar alternativas y plantear nuevas estrategias para su mejora. Potenciar la autoestima docente. Aumentar la motivación e interés por la tarea docente. Finalmente, el hecho de trabajar de forma colaborativa con otros docentes significa mucho más que diseñar una situación de aprendizaje e implementarla en diferentes centros educativos. Significa un nuevo modo de ver, vivir, hacer y sentir la docencia. Una forma de desarrollar la tarea docente "en compañía", probando, equivocándonos, mejorando, reflexionando, emocionándonos, creciendo profesionalmente (Romeu, 2011) y sobretodo, aprendiendo… de forma conjunta."
