This seems to be the most valuable step in ensuring that teachers attend to students with respect and care.

This can tell you what are the student's limits, level of comfort, and behaviors. This creates a relationship of respect and awareness every teacher needs to have with their students

Students are very aware of their surroundings and their own learning, they just need a foundation on how to express it.

I believe teachers make a great effort to do so however there is not enough dedicated paid time for them to do so. In addition, parent engagement is extremely low due to numerous of factors

Dependent on the overall goal I think the focusing question could focus on the student's social interactions within the classroom, engagement with the topic or materials, or overall just the objectives/content the teacher wants to be achieved.

This is a great concept we hope to teach all of our students. We want them to understand this is a necessary practice in order to be successful and achieve

I tend to be impulsive when it comes to situations where I have more than one option. I overthink a lot so instead, I make an impulse decision and think of the consequences after it is already done.

The activity is a great reflection of questioning and posing problems because we had to reply to another individual. It requires us to think about how they and ourselves are feeling/thinking about a particular topic and connecting each ours thoughts

I 100% agree with you that is easier to not give up on a goal that resonates with you personally or has bigger purpose

Sometimes I wish I could be a laid-back person sometimes about things because I am a persistent person about everything and anything even if it is small

This song is an example of persistence

This is exactly what I do! I plan, plan, and plan.

Fri, 15 Jul 2022 15:45:54 -0400

I think this personality trait is extremely useful as well as negative. I believe that it is great because I become organized and will never give up but if the plan doesn't work I get frustrated because I spend so much time planning.

It is a good habit of mind because you must elaborate on your process of thought that made you choose that specific image and how it is representitive of you

This definitely describes the activities in which we participated in because we had to think about consciously the images we chose as well as discuss why.

Connected to what the audience wants

Fri, 29 Apr 2022 16:46:59 -0400

This allows students to express creatively express comprehension, questions, skills, individuality, and allows them to feel in charge of their own learning experience

visuals to a text can be useful in students create and investigate the meaning to what is being said

Fri, 29 Apr 2022 16:35:13 -0400

It is also extremely helpful to ELLs who may know what the image means or is in their home language and creates the foundation to understanding nonnative text

Getting our students out of their comfort zone and exploring new modes that may have not heard of sparks not only interest in the mode but the content itself and also likely become more memorable to them

Fri, 29 Apr 2022 16:29:43 -0400

This is important because we do not want to single out any one student due to their access to technology, supplies, support.

Fri, 29 Apr 2022 16:26:50 -0400

Think about how students may navigate. Think about what tools they may be excited about and which ones may cause them to become confused and lose focus

Usually there are a few times students find science fun or even funny. This however is what is essential to keep students engaged and interested. Science it a bit tough to have alot of moments of humor.

There are some instances where an experiment goes wrong (in a non-harmful way) that can attract students, youtube creators or even projects that cater to students creative and humorous side.

Students may also not see purpose in the questions they are asked to solve which causes them to have a lack of determination or become less persistent to find ways they can solve the problem

Fri, 18 Mar 2022 16:35:55 -0400

You can use what they are interested in/care about to help spark their interest in content and how it can help them address things they care about.

Having a day with an activity non-content related and having student talk with you is a great way to find out more about them and have them trust you

Fri, 18 Feb 2022 17:11:36 -0500

Relationships with students are vital, especially when teaching. To understand when they are having a bad day or need an extra push.

Fri, 18 Feb 2022 17:12:29 -0500

Writing allows me to look back on what I need to focus on. I very much agree that learning by doing is key especially in science.

Fri, 18 Feb 2022 16:58:39 -0500

I am the same way. These are very important skills that can be used everywhere

Congratulations

Initially when I began college my major was pre-med. Science always fascinating to me and realizing how much I could change the interest in science especially for students of color guided my decision.

Fri, 18 Feb 2022 16:52:51 -0500

I began to tutor my little brother when I started college and definitely influenced my decision as well. He's always calling me on skype with questions.
