I try to remember to mention in class, "everybody is learning at their own pace. It's good as long as you're making progress from where you're at. As in life different people are good at different things." But of course, I need a secret camera in my room some day to give me a reality check as to those times when I'm "not being helpful".<br /><br />Ms. CookieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-85374341950277648322009-07-02T10:30:35.092-05:002009-07-02T10:30:35.092-05:00I really like your observations of the way teacher...I really like your observations of the way teachers respond to varied ability in a group. I think as adults we have forgotten that we saw it all the time in school, ourselves. And your observations about the advanced students - that it helped NOBODY to have the teachers point out that they knew it - really speak to me. I was always the kid getting praised in class, and it sure sucked. In college, I had a class I skipped all the time, because when I went, the professor always pointed out how well I knew the material. It does nothing to build a learning community.<br /><br />Your post is making me think again about equitable but individualized ways of helping, training, correcting, and enriching my students's learning. <br /><br />Good stuff.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10885019938041824698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-59289098792927607182009-06-30T23:12:09.304-05:002009-06-30T23:12:09.304-05:00Over the last two years, I've taken Computer I...Over the last two years, I've taken Computer Integrated Manufacturing & Principles of Engineering. I teach these classes, and also teach geometry & algebra 2.<br /><br />The engineering courses have been fun to learn and fun to teach. The students are excited about the material; they like the hands-on projects and the sense of accomplishment they get in designing and building their own ideas.<br /><br />I haven't taken the IED course (another teacher at my school teaches that), but have used the Inventor software for students to model their projects in CIM.<br /><br />I'm actually going back again later this summer to take Digital Electronics, and am looking forward to learning about Boolean algebra!<br /><br />Best,<br />Nick Yates<br />Baltimore, MD<br />www.pattersonhs.com/pages/leadthewayUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04783252413968491110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-77079952022249853202009-06-30T21:46:11.798-05:002009-06-30T21:46:11.798-05:00I took the IED course, and I'm excited to teac...I took the IED course, and I'm excited to teach it next year.
