Prompt #2: Educational Psychology, Chapter 4
Per your reading of Chapter 4 in Educational Psychology, identify the three most important “take aways” for you (i.e., the most important learnings for you at this point in your professional development).
Prompt #3: Educational Psychology, Chapter 5
Per your reading of Chapter 5 in Educational Psychology, quote ONE sentence (word for word) that resonated deeply with you and identify the page in the book from whence you lifted it.
Tell us why you chose that sentence.
Prompt #4: Feedback
Read the responses of your classmates in Prompts #2 and #3.
Comment, somehow, in response to each of their entries.
Prompt #5: Research review
Review the research slides you all prepared on the topic of Learning Theory:
·
Behaviorism (Reynolds)
Sleep and Learning (Varner)
Sleep and Learning (Varner)
Brain-Based Learning (Chiodo)
Multiple Intelligences (Garza)
Put those topics in rank order of importance to you in accordance to “what you need most” at this point in your professional development.
Tell us why you put #1 at #1.
Prompt #6: Behaviorism
From Miran’s research on Behaviorism, identify the most significant new learning for you.
Prompt #7: Multiple Intelligences
Consider Lauri’s research on Multiple Intelligences.
Pick ONE topic which you expect to teach and briefly tell us how you might address that topic with your students in EACH of those intelligences. (This will be a little tricky for you, I expect).
Prompt #8: Sleep and Learning
With regard to Michael’s research on Sleep and Learning, how might you use these concepts with your students to enhance their learning?
Prompt #9: Brain-based Learning
In considering the summary of Lauren’s research on Brain-based Learning, reflect on a teacher in your past who seemed to effectively leverage this skill/knowledge.
Prompt #10: Research Feedback
As you think of the research on the four topics done for this class, pose a question to each of your three classmates regarding their research.
Each of you who got a question fired in your direction must reply to that question.
Prompt #11: Field Observations
Reflect on the field observations you have done thus far.
What teaching strategies have you seen enacted the most? (Seeing any trends?)
Prompt #12: Ken Wilber
Please spend 15 minutes reading about Ken Wilber at the link below, focusing especially on the sections titled “Lines, streams, or intelligences,” and “Levels or stages.”
Draw at least three comparisons between Wilbers view in those sections and the research you all presented on your slides.
Prompt #13: Dan Brown
Please go to the link below and view the short video of Dan Brown’s Open Letter to Educators:
You will have students like Dan Brown (perhaps many of them). How does this attitude/philosophy/belief about education inform you as a prospective teacher? What does it mean for your actions, reactions, and pedagogical deployment?
Prompt #14: Opinion (defended)
You have now been exposed in this term to F2F meeting format, to synchronous virtual format, and to asynchronous virtual format.
Which do you prefer, and why?
Prompt #15: Finality (the technical eye)
Pick either Bloom’s Taxonomy or the Marzano 9 High-Yield Strategies as a lens to view through.
Specifically identify at least three “pieces” of tonight’s learning tasks and articulate which of those strategies/concepts you saw me trying to deploy.
Prompt #16: Sign-off
Don’t forget to record your thinking/learning for EACH of this class’s topics in your SLP.
Watch your email for assignments for our March 20 class, which will be a F2F version at WBU-Lubbock.
Hope you have a restful spring break.
Thanks for making me a better educator.
