      The teacher who inspired me was in college. I was first inspired by her deep knowlege, her humaness, and finally her reaching out to me, a very shy student.

      Love this definition. Is it yours or do you need to contribute this to someone?

      So the learning theory is multiple intelligence. What about the other theories? Behaviorism=gold stars, working in groups=constructivism etc.

      I disagree here. Effort is important to learn, but inefficent effort that does not lead to outcomes stated in the objectives need to be adhered to.
  • I would never fail anyone unless they really did not put any effort into the class. As long as you put the effort in and tried your hardest, you would do well in my class.

Classroom Management: The Teacher's Voice - 0 views

  • poor classroom management often speak in a very high voice
  • speak from the chest. It gives you power, it’s believable, and it’s not straining. My acting coaches would say, “think low.”
  • high pitched, it can sometimes sound desperate, apologetic, and it seems as if you are asking students for permission when you are giving directions.

  • Students tend to take on their teacher’s personality
  • If you’re not relaxed in tone then hyper students are more hyper, distracted

Formative and Summative Assessment in the Classroom - 0 views

  • nother distinction that underpins formative assessment is student involvement. If students are not involved in the assessment process, formative assessment is not practiced or implemented to its full effectiveness. Students need to be involved both as assessors of their own learning and as resources to other students. There are numerous strategies teachers can implement to engage students. In fact, research shows that the involvement in and ownership of their work increases students' motivation to learn. This does not mean the absence of teacher involvement. To the contrary, teachers are critical in identifying learning goals, setting clear criteria for success, and designing assessment tasks that provide evidence of student learning.
  • Formative Assessment is part of the instructional process.
  • it can only help in evaluating certain aspects of the learning process.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Summative assessments happen too far down the learning path to provide information at the classroom level and to make instructional adjustments and interventions during the learning process.

Instructional Immediacy and the Seven Principles: Strategies for Facilitating Online Co... - 1 views

  • Table 1. Seven Principles of Good Practice in Undergraduate Education, Chickering and Gamson (1986) 1. Encourage contact between students and faculty: Frequent student-faculty contact both in and outside of class is an important factor in student motivation and involvement. 2. Develop reciprocity and cooperation among students: Faculty should create and encourage opportunities for collaborative learning among students. 3. Encourages active learning: Faculty should require students to apply their learning in oral and written forms. 4. Give prompt feedback: Faculty should provide appropriate and prompt feedback on performance. Students need help assessing their current competence and performance, and need frequent opportunities to perform and receive suggestion for improvement. Such feedback should be an ongoing process in collegiate settings. 5. Emphasize time on task: Faculty should create opportunities for students to practice good time management. This includes setting realistic time for students to complete assignments as well as using class time for learning opportunities. 6. Communicate high expectations: Faculty should set and communicate high expectations for students. Such becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy for students and they often will rise to meet the challenge. 7. Respect diverse talents and ways of learning: Faculty should create learning opportunities that appeal to the different ways students will process and attend to information. Varying presentation style and assignment requirement will allow students to showcase their unique talents and learn in ways that work for them.
