We need to make sure the students hear and can manipulate sounds in words. Then we systematically teach the phonics.
Checking for understanding is very different for different ages AND curriculum.
I am interested in listening in all levels. This year it was hard because my students were behind developmentally and I need strategies for where they are.
I love the MOOD Meter. Teachers keep it by the door and invite students to initial where they are at.
I have also seen popsicle sticks by the door and different cans with feelings as titles. Students would pick a popsicle stick and place it in the appropriate container. This gives the teacher a quick visual of where students are at emotionally.
Especially how to make them work in the daily lessons.
Something I hope the conference will address is: how to navigate the new curriculum requirements of my state/district while adapting and adjusting to the daily/weekly/monthly pandemic-related changes?
I believe this entails letting go of our comfort zone. Letting go of our old ways that taught a few who knew how to learn, listen and behave.
I'm excited about this conference because it will allow me the opportunity to see the many lessons of teachers and allows me to be creative in use it to help support the teachers and students across the curriculum. U
I am so excited that we have one of you at our school. Students love the class and are so inspired. I would rather she be available for core teachers to come to her class to learn how to do really cool multimedia projects.
This is one I hope to learn from in the conference.
I'm am sure we will get alot out of this. The not knowing is when we will actually be able to implement it.
What about the news impacting us as well?
What about standards? I can not even teach my students how to get organized. If it is not graded they will not do it.
Most are not prepared to figure things out on their own once they graduate.
Me too!
Transparency and compassion over admissions and billing hours?
Perhaps it is not private schools who need convincing?
I recently attended a webinar about this and it was amazing. It helped me with my English Language Learners.
