Classroom Management - Educating Deborah

http://educatingdeborah.com/category/posts/classroom-management

From the category archives:. Top Down vs Bottom Up in the Classroom. 8216;ve been in a few conversations lately that have made me think about my way of viewing classroom problems. Top down and bottom up aren’t quite right, but I suppose it’s such a common metaphor that I’m finding it difficult to break free of it. The top and bottom in this case are not people but the different levels of action and planning that go into teaching. Bottom up –. Top down –. Look at your program and try to increase buy-in so...

Australian Curriculum: Science 2 – structure of the curriculum. Efore we get into the next installment, I want you to go to AC: Science. One of the big concerns at #onsci was where is the science for general life? The answer is right there. Throughout the entire curriculum in every single class. Click for full size.

Australian Curriculum: Science - Educating Deborah

http://educatingdeborah.com/australian-curriculum-science-1-who-does-what

Australian Curriculum: Science 1 – who does what. His is a response to the #onsci twitter chat on the 9th of August about the Australian Curriculum. AC) that I think might be useful generally. Judging from the chat there seem to be a few broad themes of concerns, some of which I’m placed to explain or discuss. This seems the appropriate time to put in the obligatory disclaimer – this is all my personal understanding and opinion, and is in no way official. In addition, states all have their own forms of r...

Project – Finding a topic. Ne of the things we have to do for the strategic leadership course is an ongoing project. I think this is great, I love projects as a way of tying things together for long term practice and experiential learning. But what to do? Projects are my bread and butter – Project Manager is right there in my job title. If I’m going to learn and develop my leadership through this it can’t be one of my normal projects. Be a natural part of my position. I find it really necessary to mull o...

Visualising - Educating Deborah

http://educatingdeborah.com/visioning

8216;ve been lucky enough to be accepted for a strategic leadership professional development course. It seems to be a good opportunity to get back to blogging, which I’ve been away from since I’ve been working, and have a regular space to reflect on what I’m learning and how it relates to my work. So are there other areas where this technique would be useful? Teaching itself is a change process, we are changing the students’ knowledge, understanding and skills. Introducing technology in schools! How is a...

Scaffolds - Educating Deborah

http://educatingdeborah.com/category/posts/teaching/tools/scaffolds

From the category archives:. Another scaffold today, this one a reading scaffold. Each subject area has its own way of presenting information – reading a science textbook is completely different to reading a novel. Reading in different areas is something that needs to be taught in those areas, not yet another thing the poor English teacher should be picking up. A graphic summary is a great way of introducing a lot of information and showing kids how to pick out the important bits. I am a huge advocate fo...

A Standing Desk - Educating Deborah

http://educatingdeborah.com/a-standing-desk

Y desk is currently covered in boxes, and I’m loving it. None of this is ergonomic, and I’m used to waking up in the morning almost unable to walk because my back has set solidly. Sometimes I’m tempted to get a sling to support my right arm after a night of heavy mousing. I knew I had to rearrange and get at least the basics right, when I was prompted by a blog post on standing desks. I’ve seen them talked about before in an educational setting, and as a science teacher I. My shoulders are back and my ba...

Questioning, connecting, and something else??? - Educating Deborah

http://educatingdeborah.com/leadership-headline

Questioning, connecting, and something else? E’ve been challenged to think about a leadership headline or mantra. Leadership needs different things according to the circumstances and skills of the leader, so the idea is to try to distill what you are trying to achieve. The first part of mine is easy – I think one of the most important things I do is questioning. Why are we doing things this way? What are you trying to get out of this? What is causing the problem here? Have you thought about? To do Every&...
