Alarm Clocks | BEFORE WE KNEW THE WORLD WOULD KEEP SPINNING
https://cstoddard08.wordpress.com/2008/02/29/alarm-clocks
BEFORE WE KNEW THE WORLD WOULD KEEP SPINNING. February 29, 2008. Timing is something I really struggle with in the classroom. When is it appropriate to move on, even if some students are still working? How can I be fully engaged in interacting in the classroom and still watch the clock to know when to switch gears? This is a poem that really resonates with me as an adult child’s rejection of a parent’s religion/ raisons d’etre. Laquo; 100% UNANIMOUS. On March 3, 2008. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Tracy Pa...

It is exciting to see the issues you are working through. There are a few that jumped out at me as I read:. 8220;I’ve never been in a field placement with the same class back-to-back before, so this is really cool to watch her improve from period 1 to period 2.”. Do you believe it is good advice? The ticket to ...

BEFORE WE KNEW THE WORLD WOULD KEEP SPINNING. February 8, 2008. This week in my field placement I observed what it means to be flexible with students.

BEFORE WE KNEW THE WORLD WOULD KEEP SPINNING. January 25, 2008. Ultimately, I hope to get students asking: “What’s right, and who decides? As I move into the more detailed stages of developing my unit plan, I hope to not lose sight of my original intentions. January 24, 2008. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. January 16, 2008. 8220;I flap to know I have arms.”. Is education a punishment in some circumstances? How are the stable lives of college-bound students really that different in terms of relevance?

3 goals for 3 weeks | BEFORE WE KNEW THE WORLD WOULD KEEP SPINNING
https://cstoddard08.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/3-goals-for-3-weeks
BEFORE WE KNEW THE WORLD WOULD KEEP SPINNING. March 28, 2008. 3 goals for 3 weeks. 1 I want to be clearer about my objectives and expectations from the beginning and to pre-answer ‘why? 8217;, to give a purpose for what I’m doing and the reason I’m conducting the lesson the way I am. 2 I want to provide opportunities for students who don’t contribute as often to feel confident and willing to raise their hands and suggest their ideas. How I will measure/know if I achieved these goals:. We’re going t...

BEFORE WE KNEW THE WORLD WOULD KEEP SPINNING. February 14, 2008. I think I’ve got most of the names down, although I’m still somewhat reliant on a seating chart. I think the students are getting much more comfortable with us being around though. Hopefully next week won’t be so sporadic. Laquo; Engineering for Success. Let’s look at the student who is not performing. What can I do? I guess this question is impossible to answer without the first question. Why? The small groups and three teachers. WOW!
