journals reflection elearning

shared by Michelle Krill on 09 Jun 09 - Cached
  • journal writing is closest to natural speech, and writing can flow without self-consciousness or inhibition. It reveals thought processes and mental habits, it aids memory, and it provides a context for healing and growth.
  • Journals are tools for growth through critical reflection, for it is not enough to observe and record experiences, but "equally important is the ability to make meaning out of what is expressed"
  • The journal becomes another text on which to reflect, but it is a text written in the learner's authentic voice, and this personal engagement adds a necessary affective element to the learning process.

      As I read these readings, I relate all the information to students in the classroom. Writing for reflection and to learn more about learning is often overlooked in classrooms.

  • bill that advances standards-based education reform and emphasizes improvement in reading and writing.
  • proponents of the bill, which reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, say that there has been measurable improvement in student achievement in reading and math and an increased accountability of schools,
  • detractors argue that NCLB has caused states to lower achievement goals and motivates teachers to “teach to the test,” putting far less attention to subjects—like art, music and social studies—not represented in the standardized exam.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • No Child Left Behind is largely based on the belief that setting high standards and establishing measurable goals can improve individual outcomes in education. The act requires states to develop assessment tests in basic skills to be given to all students in certain grades if those states are to receive federal funding for schools. The act does not set a national achievement standard but rather leaves standards to each state.
  • Kanter said that the administration will seek, among other things, to elevate the status of teachers, decrease high school dropout rates (currently 1.2 million students per year), promote early learning (birth to age 3) initiatives and drive reform to push for higher school standards.
  • he reauthorization needs to focus on education research, specifically in relation to recent neuroscience advances, teaching excellence, early childhood education, common core high standards, expansion of subject areas to be evaluated and the development of strong school leaders.
  • No Child Left Behind, there is very little reference to the role of principals and the importance of that role to school success and academic success,”
  • Alonso said that while the goals of NCLB were bold, the means to get there were modest. Too little attention, he said, was placed on pedagogy and methodology.
  • They said that curricula have been dangerously trimmed because schools are teaching to narrow tests.
  • ed that the current tests create “bubble students,” those who fall just below the standard and are given an inordinate amount of attentio
  • any reauthorization needs to promote and reward innovation in education.

  • For the first time, Rhode Island has a statewide curriculum in reading, writing and math — a consistent, uniform learning plan for students in kindergarten through the 12th grade.
  • Unlike a traditional curriculum that serves as a blueprint for what is taught in the classroom and can require certain textbooks, Rhode Island’s plan is more flexible and acts as a guide for teachers.
  • In the end, the General Assembly passed a law in 2004 that called for a statewide curriculum, but left the decision to use it up to individual districts.
