3- Identify 3 relevant connections to your student teaching internships

1. When thinking about student teaching I want to find ways for my students to work their way up Bloom's taxonomy and through problem-based learning that can be accomplished. Trying to incorporate these methods into my classroom will help students to control their learning more and not just memorize facts. 

2. Another connection to student teaching is how in problem-based learning they will have to solve a problem. This transfers well to life with career skills and having students be equipped to deal with problems. As one of my goals in student teaching helping students be prepared for what comes next in their life and this is one way in the classroom I can do that. 

3. The one article talks about the different of a project and actual project based learning so as I think about the spring a question at the front of my mind will be how to I am making this a project to foster learning rather than just something students are forced to do.

2- Identify 2 connections to other courses that are part of your #TeachAg Journey

1. One connection when we are talking about problem-based learning is Bloom's, which we talk about about in 412 but also in many other AEE classes.  Problem-based learning helps to bring active learning in and facilitate students discovering knowledge on their own. This makes me think of Bloom's when we are talking about how to get students to move up to the high levels and this method of teaching would do just that.  

2. In 412, we talk a lot about reflection and how it is important for us as educators to facilitate reflection since high schoolers tend to skip that on their own. My SEED semester also did a good job showcasing the the importance of reflection. So this is why I feel like it was very beneficial when they were reevaluating the elements of PBL they added in reflection as its own element. 


1- the Triangulated Connection

My resource is an article that breaks down in six steps how to bring problem-based learning into your classroom, which while this was touched on in some of the reading I think, this article does a nice just on simplifying things and giving us a little different perspective. I really liked this article because knowing about all of these tools, methods, and theories are great but if we can not implement them then there is no point, so this article can be used as a tool in applying problem-based learning to our classrooms.

    Lacey, such an awesome post! I really zero'd in on the blooms part (because I love Bloom) and i think you're definitely right in saying that PBL does a fantastic job moving us up the taxonomy!

Learning Objectives

Student Teaching Connections   1. The power of planning. All of these reading are a reinforcement that planning and making that a priority will benefit us all in the long run.  2. Plan for the assessment first then determine which is the best methods for instruction. I think this will be very helpful in student teaching/unit planning and using that backwards planning approach to determine my lessons.  3. In the article about significant learning it discusses and shows this model of active learning and how it is made up experience, information & ideas, and reflective dialogue. This is an important reminder for me to make sure I have these components in my lessons, especially making sure I am intentional about fostering reflection for my students.  Connections to Other Courses   1. In 350, we did this lesson planning activity and based our plan off of our project/assessment which was a good example of backwards planning and how that can be utilized.  2. T...

Setting Expectations and Standing Your Ground

Image
Week 3 is in the book.. which is completely wild in my opinion.  This is was my first full 5 day week of animal science with having a short week last week. The highlight of was that we had an Estrous Party for our cow that the class named Connie. We helped Connie prepared for pregnancy, lived through the "heartbreak" of her not getting pregnant, had to help reset her cycle (aka the party), and then celebrated Connie's pregnancy. The students loved the activity, they were super engaged and I think it helped them to understand the estrous cycle a lot better.  Some things I learned from this were setting clear expectations are important and sticking to them. For example, one student wrote BYOB on their invitation which he tried to convince me it just stood for bring your own beef, so I ripped up the invitation and said it is time to start again. This students have been pushing his limits since the beginning.  Fast forward to study hall coverage late that day, I find out the ...

Our Students Matter

After watching the two ted talks, reading about instructional planing, and diving into different e-moments  it gave me a lot to think about in regards to student teaching and here are some of my questions: A question for my future school administrators ... How do you intentionally create a learning environment where students know they matter, feel valued, and feel heard? As a school is this mainly put on the teachers or how to you try as entire faculty to make students feel valued, because while it is a goal for all schools and teachers (I hope) it definitely can take conscious effort. A question for my cooperating teacher and university supervisor. .. Which is your favorite e-moment to use and/or which one do you use most often? Ideally, these would be rotated through and used in different times with varying needs, however, I would love to hear if there is one that you have found to be very success or that you use and why you feel that one has worked.  A q...
