What I want my students to know My students will know that each individual has a purpose in life and before they leave my school they will understand the vital role they play in life. I want my students to know that no matter how many times people tell them they cant, all it takes is one time for them to prove "nay sayers" wrong. My school will be the ultimate NO BULLING zone. I have zero tolerance for students picking on one another. I truly believe that every child can learn but it takes an educator to show them that their are no limits to what they can achieve if they work hard.
What I want my students to be able to do I want my students to be able to think critically and be an individual but have the social skills to excel in a group. I want my students to be able to control a classroom with their inner confidence and their positive attitudes. I want to produce smart, confident, reliable, and technology savvy students.
What will be your primary way of teaching? My primary way of teaching will be practice practice practice. No matter the content area or difficulty, I want my students to LEARN valuable information, concepts, and methods and make sure it sticks with them instead of them forgetting everything that they were taught in three months.
What tools will you use in your classroom? The main tools that I will use in my classroom are iPads for self testing and end class assignments, a smartboard for in class participation, as well as recording devices. Whether its the smartpens or an app that records he material I am covering so they can go over the material with their parents.
What Role will my students play? Between centers being setup in the classroom and the smartboard, I will also have them help one another by doing buddy reading, and working on brain teasers or worksheets that cover new material that we've covered. Most children learn better from one another so why not pair them together?
