    How do we contextualize this for learners today? If this primary source is accurate, how can they understand that a government agency was actively unsupportive of MLK? If a government agency was against MLK in 1964, what might a government agency might not be supportive of today that will be similarly shocking to us in forty years?

    Jen, This is a great resource. So interesting to read all about sod houses and the daily life that revolved around the house. I especially like the actual letters that students (teachers) can read.

    I thought this was an interesting article about Theordore Roosevelt's wife. After, reading this book, I wanted to learn more about this strong and caring person. I enjoyed the letters that were returned between herself and Theordore and Kermit! I think you will enjoy this article, too.

    I have also added another site similar to this one. This is a place to go to find contact information for the Representatives from each area. Students can easily access this information for writing letters.
  • emily lane on 30 Nov 09
     
    Besides the contact info (which is wonderful), this site has a section for kids, which teaches them various things about the senate and more. It also has teacher resources. This is a great site, one which could be very useful to a teacher,even if just to gain some knowledge.

shared by sadielaurenn on 05 Sep 21 - No Cached
  • One of the most common accommodations for students with special needs is preferential seating. This doesn’t always mean in the front row of the classroom right next to the teacher’s desk
  • Many general education mainstream students cannot perform the following simple tasks: telling time from an analog clock writing a simple letter signing their name in cursive note taking and study skills
  • Collaborative teaching looks differently depending on what school, level, and setting you are working. I am fortunate enough to work in a school where collaborative teaching is encouraged and celebrated. Teachers have common planning times, and professional development time is often set aside for teachers to plan together.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Posting daily schedules Displaying classroom rules and expectations Encouraging peer to peer instruction and leadership Using signals to quiet down, start working, and putting away materials. Giving students folders, labels and containers to organize supplies. Checking in with students while they work Utilizing proactive rather than reactive interventions as needed Speaking to students privately about any concerns Employing specific, targeted positive reinforcement when a student meets a behavioral or academic goal.

  • ways that we can find out about people, places and events that took place a long time ago
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This is an example of 4E.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This shows understanding of Standard 4E: "Understand how a students' learning is influenced by individual experiences, talents, and prior learning as well as language, culture, and other samples of student thinking." Asking students to brainstorm about the topic they are about to study activates their prior knowledge so they can potentially make a connection between the new material and what they already know.
  • Discuss the responses with the students
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      3G --use a student's thinking and experiences as a resource in planning instructional activities by encouraging discussion, listening and responding to group interaction, and eliciting oral, written, and other samples of student thinking;" By eliciting student voices in a discussion the teacher can understand how they relate to the concepts that are being taught today.

  • Explain that we can also learn a lot by looking at photographs and drawings from the past.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This is a little supportive of 4E, by presenting varied nationalities and cultures within the lesson, and encouraging the students to think that they have agency (you can learn alot) to look into their "photographs or drawings from the past" the teacher is demonstrating respect for the diverse backgrounds in the room.
  • would you like to ask
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This is also supporting 3G -- "eliciting student thinking"
  • Ask the groups to compare their photos. Ask them to find at least two things that are similar in the two photos and at least two things that are different.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This supports standard 7I, "support and expand learner expression in speaking, writing, and other media" because the teacher is scaffolding experiences for the students to talk to and learn from one another.
  • describe the type of information that they were able to discover from looking at the photographs. (What people looked like, what people wore, etc.) Ask students to share some of the questions that they thought about when observing and comparing the photographs.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      Another example of eliciting student thinking, 3G. Also supports speaking 7I.
  • Kristi never met her father’s parents
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This is moderately supportive of 4E. By sharing the story of a person whose family did not have contact the teacher is making more space in the room for learners who also may not have met their grandparents, or parents. ; (
  • Explain to students that different cultures have different ways of passing down information about their past to their children and grandchildren.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This supports 4E, the teacher is establishing that families have different cultural practices which makes more space in the room for children who may have felt that cultural practices in their own family are "weird." This provides space for "difference" as cool.
  • Encourage students to make something to help keep pictures, drawing, letters, articles and/or other information about them and their families.
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 30 Sep 21
       
      This supports standard 7I. The students are encouraged to express themselves in a media other than writing and speaking.
  • create their own drawings
    • Siri Anderson
      Siri Anderson on 01 Oct 21
       
      This is another example of 7I because the students are expressing themselves in another medium.

    These standards are not at all aligned with this lesson!
