Week 1 Day 2
On Day 2, we learned about the Lesson Plan Cycle created by Madeline Hunter. Using the basic seven steps, a teacher can execute a lesson with efficiency and effectiveness. The basic steps are:
* Remember to begin with a diagnosis of the problem using data which guides you to the objective(s) you need to teach.
1. Anticipatory Set - FOCUS! Use a hook and value statement to engage the kids.
2. Objective - Relate the objective to the kid's lives.
3. Input - This is the new learning. Remember, that you need to link new learning to prior learning. This steps includes process steps and the critical attributes that students need to learn.
4. Model - Show the students what you are teaching.
5. Check for understanding
6. Guided Practice - The teacher facilitates and guides the practice of the new learning.
7. Independent Practice - Students show you what they have learned on their own.
Remember that you need to assess student's learning. This can be through a test, quiz, presentation, portfolio, activity, etc. You should also have a closure that helps tie up the learning for students which focuses on the objective again.
Any questions?

Week 1 Day 1 - Teaching and Learning
We have covered the three domains of learning. They are cognitive, affective and psychomotor. Students learn in different ways. We will continue to study different teaching methods that fit in these three categories.
We also covered the brain and brain-compatible classrooms. We watched Dr. Marian Diamond, Eric Jensen and Dr. Sylwester speak about the brain and how it connects to learning. Then we discussed the characteristics of a brain-compatible classroom. Justin created a mnemonic device - LIFE - to help us remember the characteristics. Check out this link on mnemonics.
LIFE stands for active, meaningful learning; simulating,varied input; accurate, timely feedback; safe, non-threatening environment.
What did you learn Day 1 that you will use in your classroom?

Quote of the Day - Week 1 Day1
Madeline Hunter once said, "Most people live in the center of their comfort zone only to discover that real life occurs on the edge!" Taking this step this summer IS living on the edge! Congratulations on taking that step and I look forward to being a part of your journey.
