Project SKIP: Screening Kids for Intervention and Prevention - 0 views

  •  
     The author is my grandson ,Shane's, advocate. Without her he would be up the creek without a paddle.  Will My Child Grow Out of It written by Dr. Bonny Forrest is an important book for parents, educators and practitioners. The succinct, accurate description of learning differences and mental health issues is based on extensive research as well as personal case study experience. The topics discussed and suggestions given are realistic yet always positive. The expanded appendix provides resources for action, effective therapies for consideration and medications commonly in use. Most importantly there is a direct link to ProjectSkip, http://www.projectskip.com/. A special code is given for use of this tool, a first step in the decision of whether to seek professional help. While this book is an excellent resource for parents, it could also be an important textbook for educators as well as those studying in the field of psychology

How I Help All My Students to Be Good at Math - The Atlantic - 1 views

    • smcpsrmoore
       
      Students need to know that everyone can do math. There are not "math people" or "non-math people."
  • I tell all students alike that math requires perseverance and a willingness to take risks and make mistakes
  • Math requires effort, patience and time
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • You have to believe that eventually, you will be able to understand. You have to sort through what you understand and what you don’t. You have to then formulate a good question and be courageous enough to ask the teacher to answer the question in front of a classroom, admitting that you don’t understand something in front of your peers
  •  those who think of themselves “math people” can suffer from overconfidence
  • Our educational goal should be to help all students learn as much and as deeply as they possibly can, and to instill in them a love of learning.
  • people perform poorly on difficult cognitive tasks when there are extrinsic rewards for the successful accomplishment of those tasks. 
  • Standardized testing disregards the effort students have exerted and they deemphasize the processes of math
  • Focusing on the process of math helps both low achieving and high achieving students learn true mathematical logic and not get discouraged because they can’t reach a right answer, or bored because reaching the right answer is too easy. Many students know how to get the right answers on standardized tests but don’t know how to think about math.
  •  Our job as role models is to give our students the freedom to make their own choices, including lucrative choices in fields that require math.  In my education courses, we were always told that modeling is more powerful than teaching.  Adults are modeling this self-defeatist attitude.
  • Education needs to be about personal growth and teaching students to enjoy and revel in their knowledge, not on grooming students and sorting them for a job market that may be entirely different in 10 years. If students learn confidence, flexibility and that they’re good at learning, they’ll be ready for anything.

    Oh my goodness. This is exactly the encouragement we need. Each shared comment could be for our class. I particularly like your idea...."Education needs to be about personal growth and teaching students to enjoy and revel in their knowledge, not on grooming students and sorting them for a job market that may be entirely different in 10 years.

30 Things To Tell Students You'll Never See Again - 11 views

    Hmm, How appropriate for when our class or your class ends.

    I find that I cry just about every day as I prepare to send my son to college in 8 weeks. This helped me meet my quota for today.
  •  
    I teach the same students for many years in a row and grow to know them well. I wish I had read this a few weeks ago to share with my graduating seniors.
  •  
    Why wait? I hear myself giving the advice, "pick your battles," almost everyday. I rephrase number 27 to , "how's that working for you now?" And number 21, is the advice I give myself.
  •  
    I love this.
  •  
    Great advice. And I agree with kgrill, why wait for some of it! #12. Leave things better than you found them? I hear my self saying that several times a month.
  •  
    These thirty things are inspirational. Thank you.
  •  
    I wish I had these earlier today when I had to say goodbye to a student heading back to public high school! I actually agree that we shouldn't wait - I am thinking of putting some of them up on a bulletin board for inspiration! Thanks for sharing, Carole!

Using Pre-Needs Assessment for Effective PD | Edutopia - 2 views

  • Before fine-tuning content for a particular session, I start out with a Google Form and a list of suggested topics (e.g. Google for Research, Nearpod, Kahoot, Student Projects with iPad, Workflow with eBackpack) that I perceive to be campus or department needs. Based on this initial feedback, I begin crafting pre-needs assessments for particular courses. Even within a workshop focused on a specific tool or technology, you will find both novice and advanced users, so that's where the pre-needs assessments really pack a punch.

      In my last workshop some said they already knew it all. I should have been prepared with other assignments for them.

Free Technology for Teachers: 10 Free Typing Practice Activities for Students - 2 views

    Wanted this for my grandsons

    Our students love, love ABCYa. There are lots of games in addition to typing practice. They claim they've even found a game on there that is similar to Minecraft. Dance Mat Typing makes them laugh because the narrator has a British accent ('Allo there, all you rock and rolla's!"

    This site is filled with fun activities that get the students (especially the younger ones) up and moving for a few minutes.  It engages both their brains and their bodies.  It's great for indoor recess too.
