During the lesson a video would be played showing the students a Native American dance and how they dressed. For a student with a hearing disability this video would need to have subtitles. I would need to place the student in the front of the classroom so they had a clear view of the screen. They volume would need to be increased so they had the same opportunity to learn from the video as the rest of the students without a disability. I would speak to the student about the day’s lesson and ask…

Take a look at a typical elementary classroom, there are blank walls, straight rows of desks, and the teacher's podium is place at the front of the room to show ownership or authority. That is it. Now take a look at a 20th century schoolhouse classroom. It has the same basic feel to it as the classroom from today has. With the changing of our culture and technologies, there needs to be a change in our classroom settings as well. The room should be fun and inviting with bright colored walls and…

lessons has been in regards to individualized pacing. Making this possible, and manageable, took a few years, however, I have it down to a workable system that allows students to work at their own pace, to an extent, without creating chaos in my classroom or adding undue stress to my workload. While I believe in students having the time they need to successfully complete an assignment, I am also a firm believer in hard deadlines and learning time management skills. Essentially the majority of my…

Flipped classrooms The flipped classroom is a pedagogical model in which the typical lecture and homework elements of a course are reversed (EDUCAUSE, 2012). Students will do their reading or watch a short video lectures before the class sessions. Hence, during lessons in classroom, more time will be spent on discussions and hands on. The notion of a flipped classroom draws on such concepts as active learning and student engagement. The value of a flipped class is in the repurposing of class…

Planning past tomorrow was the first session I attended. It was very similar to the one I went to my freshman year. But with more information. What I learned from this session was planning is essential if you want to have success in the classroom. The meticulous way Tom Michalek plans is amazing. It goes from yearly to weekly to daily plans. All of it is in one excel sheet on his computer which means if he needs to check or revise or change anything he can do it really efficiently. The yearly…

When I walk into Ms. Keller’s classroom, I feel like a giant. Everything is smaller from, the chairs to tables, and even the smartboard is lower. I forgot how small kindergartners really are. There are four tables in the middle of the room, and one next to the wall. The room is filled with color and posters about the ABC’s, counting, and pay attention during class. Ms. Keller has her own library in the back corner and on the back wall is a tent for reading in. On the side wall there are…
