This Week
This week in class we have had time to work on our lesson plan, assessment task, and educational philosophy. These are all so important for future teachers. This is our very first lesson plan. This is really exciting, because we will have the opportunity to actually teach this lesson plan in front of our peers. This is exciting because we will need to start using the NCTCS in our actions, to be good teachers. The assessment task is all about assessing our students. This is something that is really important, because that influences learning. I personally learn the most when I have gotten feedback from the teacher and really understand what I did wrong. I want to make sure that when I am teaching I am constantly giving feedback and really making sure that the students are really understanding the material.
Outside Learning
This week I learned about a website called epicbooks.com. This is a website that has a lot of textbooks and materials for teachers. These are all free books and resources. This could be such a good thing for my classroom, because I will have the ability to have all these resources at my fingertips and be able to use it in my classroom. I think this is something so influential to a classroom, and one day it could possibly be for my classroom!My Future Classroom
In my future classroom I want to be able to really use assessment to influence my teaching. I want to make sure that I assess myself and my students to better us. This is a huge component that I want to be incorporated into my classroom. Also, I think I might be able to use websites like epicbooks.com in my future classroom. These websites will help me create lesson plans and help me teach the material.
Seeing what everyone does for their lesson plan will be really exciting to see! That is a really cool website you found! It would be a great tool to use in our future classrooms.
ReplyDeleteI agree that feedback and formative assessments are extremely important in the classroom! I also plan to utilize these tools in my classroom in the future.
ReplyDeleteI am kinda nervous about the lesson plan. But it is very important to give your students feedback. I know this personally because my teachers us to give us feedback all the time for every paper we did. It helped me understand what I needed to work on and what I need to change.
ReplyDeleteI like the outside research section! Very interesting website and tool. I also love the fact that it is free!
ReplyDeleteBailey,
ReplyDeleteYES! Assessing ourselves as teachers is crucial so we can continually grow and push ourselves to new limits. Maintain and grow this mindset!
