From time segment 4:00 to 5:10 (video 1), I use Socratic questioning to promote deeper level thinking and understanding about standing waves in one medium. During this time segment, I asked a student to tell me what his data suggested. The student responded that his data suggested that the wave speeds should be equal. His response was accurate; however, I had him expand the answer by asking him to tell me why his wave speeds were supposed to be the same. The student thought about it and realized that the medium–a long spring–was always the same; this made his answer better, and he then understood that waves in the same medium propagate with the same speed regardless of frequency and wavelength changes. I took advantage of the situation and …show more content…
First, I would change my habit of speaking too fast. After watching the clips, I realized that, at times, I could not understand mysel. I want my students to comprehend my lesson, so I will practice speaking slower and louder.
Secondly, from time 0:40 to 2:32 (video 2) the students and I engaged in a discussion about their findings. This is an effective method of discussion; however, it would be better to assign a task to each group to work on and to share with the class during the findings discussion. In this case, the students would become responsible of their own learning, and they would become more of a scientific community. I would give different questions for each group to address during the discussion, and I would extend on any responses if necessary.
In video 1, at time 4:00, I am observed asking questions to a pair of students; however, I direct most of the questions and attention to one student, most of the time. That might appear as if I am neglecting the second student, but I did not realize it until I observed myself doing that. I do not want any of my students to feel left out or to feel overly pushed by an overwhelming number of

If I hand out different questions to each group so they can address them during the presentations, a variety of perspectives will ease student understanding of the standing waves concept; students would be required to take notes and to include them in their lab reports. This is a great idea because collaboration significantly improves critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills. The academic performance benefits of collaborative and cooperative learning have been known for decades because Robert E. Slavin suggested, back in 1980, that students engaged in cooperative or collaborative learning perform better academically than students learning through traditional lecture methods of instruction; his results are still supported today. In addition, Bruce Joyce corroborates that learning through group investigations emphasizes social development, academic skills, and personal understanding (2015). Based on these, it is safe to assume that engaging students in collaborative presentations will enhance their learning and will help them progress towards meeting the learning targets. This will also focus the lesson more on the students and less on
During the Socratic seminar, I heard a lot of interesting common things about the immigration specifics from 3 different sources. I also noticed that these 3 different sources are related to the past and modern immigration law of United States of America. For example, an article from a CNN source talks about President Donald Trump’s new immigration order ban on Muslim countries. “He also suspended for three months entry by citizens of seven majority-Muslim nations — Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen — on immigrant or non-immigrant visas---” (CNN) In this quote, President Donald Trump ordered an immigration ban on Muslims. This immigration topic relates to CWRIC and a Farewell to Manzanar novel because back in World World
“Alright,” the teacher says to the students, “I’m going to number all of you off into groups. Each group will read a section from the textbook and become experts on that section. Then, each group will teach the rest of the class what they learned from their reading.” This is an instruction common to the classrooms in the United States. More and more is the pedagogy of public education leaning in favor of team-based activities, projects, and learning. Group work is generally seen as an ultimately beneficial way to teach students, but this may be somewhat of a fallacy. The emphasis on group-based learning in public schools causes a multitude of problems.
One of my favorite class activities that I conducted was a Socratic Seminar based on Romeo and Juliet. The ninth grade ELA class that I had been teaching had just finished two acts of Romeo and Juliet. To bring these acts to a close, I planned a Socratic Seminar and through Pear Deck I had students vote on a topic of discussion. The students chose to focus on young people and decision making. To further develop the idea of young people’s process of decision making, I found an article on NPR that delved into the science behind decision making and the adolescent brain.
Mrs. Duplessis is an amazing teacher with great teaching strategies that everyone can benefit from. We all think as her 7th grade accelerated class, she should teach 8th grade accelerated english classes next year. According to our class, we all enjoy learning together. Most of all, Mrs. Duplessis encourages students to work together as a team and end up with an amazing work. One of the things we do in that class that everyone likes to do is Socratic Seminar. A socratic seminar is a discussion based on a story we’ve read. Most of us did not know what a socratic seminar was, but because of Mrs. Duplessis we found out something that everybody likes. Sometimes our discussion can get intense and might turn into a debate, but that's the thing we
In English 102 I would consider it to be the best education academic writing experience of my education. There would be times where I could say I struggled the most in class was with my grammar and word choices. Throughout my attendance, I intended to prove myself to Professor Hohmann, who is an English professor at CAC (Central Arizona College) that I can write professionally as a student. I created six assignments in the English course to prove myself that I can compose assignments and research as well as my peer college classmates. The tasks that were given to me for grades were beneficial for other classes, career and in life. One of the assignments was a research paper on a specific topic that I desired, which needed to be a debatable discussion. An additional task that helped me out with my writing was the
Throughout my high school experience english classes were presented with very strict guidelines. They provided us with rubrics and prompts, laying out exactly what they wanted us to turn in. Telling us what the essay had to be about, how the thesis had to direct connect and answer the question and how much context from the story we needed. There was not ever creative assignments and writing about personal experience, just reflecting on text from class.
Led the Implementation of the Rooty Hill High School BYOD Program and Digital Curriculum Platforms across 8 Faculties (ICT4Me Program). I established administration systems for the provision and implementation of 300 school owned devices and 450 Students owned device within the school. I have developed whole school professional learning seminars and mentored faculties and individual teachers in embedding Google apps for Education into their lesson design and KLA programs through innovative assessment and content delivery. I have led a Professional learning team consisting of 25 teachers in action learning regarding the integration of technology into the classroom. . This has translated into 100% of teacher receiving targeted professional learning
The information presented during our orientation day was somewhat daunting but after having a few days to process everything and read over the information again I feel prepared for this clinical. I feel that all of the information provided was helpful to prepare us for the encounters and experiences that we might have on 5E.
I think my writing has improved a lot Since working on journals. Since learning from my english instructor I have learned and remembered many knew things. First as an old writer, i did not think much about writing skills that you need in papers period. For example Like commas i would hardly ever use them because i did not understand what the punctuation was really used for, not only did i not use commas but i never capitalize the letter i when referring to my self In writings. Journal writing really has help me in understanding my mistakes and helping me grow in my writing skills. For the most part i have learned how to think of good topics thats works with me, and how I can come up with lots of ideas quickly. Second writing journals has
7A) I have always taken a proactive approach by applying effective leadership, managerial, and organizational skills to achieve continuous success which was demonstrated in my $90 million I-15 design sequencing projects (2004 to 2008), where I have continuously received favorable ratings for administering and implementing BMPs that comply with the NPDES permit and the best compliance record in D11 for conducting labor relation interviews. My leadership and commitment to quality improvements resulted in my $10 million major maintenance project being rated the best quality dowel bar retrofit in the State in year 2003 to 2004. In the years 2000 to 2003: led, managed, and directed a staff of 10 engineers to perform multiple tasks simultaneously to complete work on $20 million six concurrent
This semester in English 102 has been the most my writing has ever grown from one class. I have learned a lot different things about styles of writing and different types of essays. I liked how the class was based on a lot of “Why?” questions that really made you think. That made for a very interesting class each day.
The SI leader in the video did a great job of breaking down the material and using various facilitation strategies. One thing I noticed that she did a lot was use wait time after asking questions. This is important because it gives the students time to process the question and think of possible answers. At one point during the session, a student didn’t understand the quantity and how one went up and the other went down. The SI leader redirected the question to another student who had just talked about the same thing in her smaller group. This way the students are helping each other find answers instead of the leader providing all of the answers. Overall, the leader asked a lot of questions which is beneficial to the students because they must
This upcoming semester at Wright State University will mark my sixth term as a student in the Raj Soin College of Business. Throughout the last three years I have been pursuing a dual degree in Human Resource Management and General Business Management, with an intended minor of Emergency Management. When I began my journey at Wright State I knew I wanted to learn how I could better help others, help others in areas in which I could not, yet I was unsure of how I was going to see that to fruition. Fortunately, through numerous workshops hosted by the School of Business, insightful opinions of seasoned professors, and the careful advice of advisors I found a niche, in Human Resources, that will allow me to guide others to reach their utmost potential.
My job in the project is to identify the objectives and come up with the timeline of the training session since I am very organized and time-orientated.
For this final reflection I will go over my goals and explain my outcome was, and my experience in an eighth week History 7A class. My first goal, was to stick to the prompt of the assignments. For, which I believe I remained true to my goal and achieved it. I created a list at the beginning of each assignment to remind myself of the required materials that needed be covered, and made sure to cover each and every item of the list—which primarily consisted of questions provided by the professor, or items I felt were critical to provide detailed information. I read the textbook and other required materials, moreover, wrote notes to point out the main ideas. My second goal was to avoid distraction, and remain focus at all times. This was a difficult goal to achieve. I attempted to hide my phone and avoid listening to music while reading or working on assignments. But, that did not worked, I would
