Student Learning

Student Learning Examples

In the 2016-2017 school year, I decided to take my teaching to a whole new level. I used a flipped-classsroom project-based learning model. Not all of the following examples are what you would call mastery, but they are true forms of students' understanding and learning process.

In my leadership class, students were to present a variety of topics showing their critical, creative thinking, developing positive habits, and developing great presentation skills through TedTalks.

In my physics classes, students were to use knowledge of physics concepts to create a safe driving ad.

In my biology classes, students were to develop an ecological understanding of specific areas and the importance of zoo conservation efforts.

In my biology classes, students showed their learning using project based learning through videos to show their understanding of cell transport and genetics.

It was a great experience getting a clearer understand of my students' learning. Students are usually reluctant at first, wanting you to tell them what to do and what to know, so creating habits of taking responsibility for their learning was part of the process. http://www.bie.org/ was a great resource to get started using project-based learning in my class. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

How to WoW students

One of the most wonderful sounds I've been able to hear is my students say "Wow", "Cool", "It worked!". A couple of weeks ago I was so ecstatic that I was able to hear those delightful words from quite a few of my students as they walked into the room. What brought this surprise? Let me explain... A few weeks before, I had decided to change the course in which my class usually was executed. From a flipped classroom, I decided to take the focus on learning information because I, their teacher, gave it to them, and put that focus on them learning information and executing labs that they wanted to do. I felt that they could take ownership of their learning, open their minds and create a love of learning. I did this in the hopes that this would bring in those students that were otherwise disconnected and not focused. Some of it worked, some of it didn't, and I've decided to keep on this idea of creating a love of learning for all, but since this...

A Teacher's Plan after Winter Break

Today's posts is about another out of the blue, inspired topic. What inspired me this time? Not on a very positive note, but I've been calling it (for dramatic effect) "that horrible thing that happens tomorrow." Going back to work to teach early Monday morning after a 2 week winter vacation is not really a bad thing, and I'm excited to try out some new ideas, however, the reality is, sleeping all day, eating whatever/whenever I'd like, binge watching TV, watching movies (Star Wars of coarse and Daddy's Home for comedic relief), and hanging out with family and friends was really very nice. Here are a couple of pictures of my husband and I in our celebratory elements. A few nights ago, I was telling my husband how my sleep cycle is out of "wack" because of my vacation. I explained to him that I needed to go to sleep early and wake up early to prepare for "that horrible thing that happens on Monday." I have yet ...

When Proctoring Midterms Leads to Journaling

In a "teacher's" world at the end of 2015, we are called and challenged to change the way we teach our students, in order to develop future leaders of the world that is going to look far different than the one we currently live in. As I sit and proctor students taking midterms, I realize that what I have just done, because of the directive of only what has been done, is in no way shape or form, encouraging students to be creative, innovative, or forward thinkers. I have asked them to remember what they have learned, answer questions on a sheet of paper, and apply it to a scenario that means nothing to them, but a grade on a test. A self-imposed (and not so self-imposed by the message others in the field are sending) challenge proposed by our future way of teaching is not overcome due to my own limitations based off of norms for what has been required when giving students midterms to test their knowledge. What would accomplish meeting and surpassing that challenge w...
