Commitment to student learning
As an educator the most important thing must be our commitment to student learning. No matter what every student can learn as long as effort and time is given to that student from the teacher. Without a doubt there will be bumps in the road that we must face, but if we are willing to make the effort we can reach any child. As an educator one way we can show we are committed to our students learning is to make sure that we are self as committed to continuing our education in our field. A few ways I plan on continuing my commitment to student learning is by getting my master degree, attending workshops and attending professional developments. By doing these things I will in return help my student reach their full potential.
One thing I have learned on my journey to becoming an educator is that ever child learns differently. To show my commitment to my students learning I will take the time to learn their difference. I will also make sure that I use multiple teaching styles in my classroom so that I will better be able to reach the minds of my students. To insure I am using the correct methods with my students I will consult with my fellow colleagues and the students previous teachers. In my lessons I will also incorporate data based decision making to access the methods and students' understanding.
To show my commitment to student learning I chose a lesson I taught in my Education 319 class. This lesson was taught to a 7th grade World History Class. This lesson was about the government of the Roman Empire. I taught the student the structure of the Roman government and how it was similar to the United States government. In this lesson we used a think aloud to get the lesson going. By using the think aloud it got the students to participate in the lesson. The students took booth a pre test and post test which allowed me to view the students prior knowledge of the subject and their understanding of the content. From the information I gathers from the pre and post tests I examined the numbers wrong versus the numbers right and gathered that the test was valid.
I was also able to show my commitment to student learning in a lesson I taught for my Education 316 class. This lesson I taught to a 6th grade class at Horace Mann Middle School. In this lesson I taught the opening to how World War I broke out. In this lesson I used a pre and post-test to assess the student prior knowledge and understanding of the lesson. During this lesson I also used a powerpoint to make an interactive learning of the sections vocabulary. The students also used their interactive notebook to take notes on the powerpoint. For this lesson we did a large group reading of the section so that all of the students would have a chance to participate in class. During this lesson we took the time to discussion how events that lead to the outbreak of World War I and how the United States role in world affairs changed through World War I.
