site, I understood the role I would play in SST meetings as a credentialed
teacher of record. I also understood that every member plays an important part
in to the SST meetings where the student’s educational and developmental needs are
identified and a specific plan to meet those needs is developed with the key
stakeholders in the student’s educational life. The student also takes personal
responsibility by participating in the meeting.<br />

<span style="color: black;">What I still need to learn about SST Meetings is how
to be the referring teacher who is responsible for collaborating with others to
plan, teach, and assess students with special characteristics. I will identify
a student from English 9 who could benefit from an SST. As the referring
teacher, I would bring background information and be prepared to discuss the
reason for the referral, strengths, known modifications, as well as the
concerns. After identifying a student and participating as a referring teacher,
I would better understand and be prepared to make a positive difference in a
student’s educational and developmental success, which would help me be a
better educator for all students, especially those with special needs and
learning challenges. </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"></span></div>

learning, but it adds a component of intimacy and privacy that some students
thrive on and some topics necessitate. Also, this kind of learning activity can
generate a rich diversity of opinion that is not elicited as easily by the
whole group format. Further, by thinking about how I might divide the students
into groups, I can manipulate the learning and the interactions in a positive
way. </span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span><br />

think they can be a good way to assess prior knowledge and a good means by
which students begin to crystallize their ideas before presenting them in a
whole group discussion. Writing prompts allow students a private forum through

practice in expressing thoughts on paper that may be easier to convey verbally.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">We built community at the beginning of the year and kept building throughout each lesson. Strong engaging curriculum is the best classroom management. We used seating charts to place students in appropriate places conducive to their learning and near others they partnered well with, in addition to taking special needs and English learning needs into consideration for proximity to the source of instruction. We fostered mutual respect and diversity of culture, values, goals, and ideas by having open, big idea discussions and addressing issues as they arose. We used a signal from the same place in the classroom, during discussion, to gain attention and bring students back to the discussion at transition points. When needed, we used progressive discipline plans of checking in with the student during class, discussing how we could help the student(s) just outside the classroom door during class, discussing what’s working and not working after class, contacting students parents, and we had to give one referral. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The assessment did assess the desired teaching and learning
targets appropriately because students demonstrated their ability to use higher-level
thinking to answer questions regarding major topics from <em>Of Mice and Men</em>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The overall class results helped me determine that my class
has a good understanding of the skills and concepts taught because they worked
independently on this assessment and every student had thoughtful, complete,
detailed responses that met either sufficient or excellent scores based on the
rubric criteria. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">For one student, K.M, this type of assessment was best for him
because it was formative, included their opinion so there is no “right” or
“wrong” answer which eliminates this student’s test taking anxiety, and as long
as the student defended her ideas and expressed her thoughts clearly based on
the rubric given in advance, the student’s chances were as good as any other
student to prove their comprehension in a way that resonated with them. There
was choice based on interest and connection. Students could choose any
character they wanted to write about. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As a result of this assessment, I learned that K.M. read the
story, followed the discussion, and was able to apply their learning to the
higher-level thinking questions, and could reflect deeply as the meaning of the
story. This student also worked with a partner and demonstrated her literacy
skills. Even though she is a special needs student, she was able to achieve the
same level of success and understanding as the other students. Therefore, the
supports given during previous instruction were sufficient, and material,
content, pacing, instruction, and activities worked to build students up to
this assessment. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

After our unit where students identified and analyzed the elements of short stories in a variety of texts, we gave the students a common assessment. Below is the first page of the three-and-a-half page assessment, the first page of the story, and a portion of a student's scantron from the assessment. <br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">My co-teacher’s (CT) classroom
management style is kind and respectful. However, she’s been challenged by
having a large class of 44 students, 14 of which are football players (who have
a rapport together and love to talk and horse around), and 7 of which have
IEPs—all on the last period of the day. She prefers<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to look at the long-term relationship, while
applying gentle pressure, in private, to students who are having a hard time
concentrating, listening, not talking, keeping their hands to themselves, and
completing assignments (which is about half of the class). She rarely contacts
student’s parents or goes further than that along the discipline plan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">My co-teacher has the curriculum
down, but about half of the students (especially in period 5) seem uninspired
by the material. They also get up and walk around during class, and comment on
everyone else’s comments, etc. My co-teacher tries to redirect and channel
their energy best she can. We’re working on simplifying the instruction to
allow critical thinking, but take their maturity level into consideration. We’ve
also stopped group work because the class cannot handle it—for now. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I was starting to doubt my
co-teacher’s classroom management philosophy and strategy because the situation
was getting worse. I was stepping in more and more and trying to offer
suggestions and help. Well, the class was out of control on Tuesday, 9/18 and my
co-teacher and I were both frustrated and confused by what was not working with
the class and our co-teaching. After discussing the situation at length, I’m
grateful for the new perspective my co-teacher brings to classroom management.
We both chose to “love” periods three and five and not police them, which
wasn’t working—it just made things worse. I’m excited to see what is possible
for co-teaching and inspiring all of our students. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 2;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 2;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 2;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Due to the maturity level and
constant classroom management issues, we feel it’s in the period 5 students’
best interest to assess them daily and prepare to move more slowly and only
cover the basics with this class, as needed. We do not get through as much of
the same material as we do in periods 1 or 3. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">On both Wednesday and Friday
there were major classroom management issues. I had to pull several students
outside to talk to them during class about making good choices and staying on
task. My co-teacher wrote a referral for a student who threw a balled up wad of
paper at another student during class. Today, on Friday, when I led while my
co-teacher was out, period 3 was incredibly easily distracted, about seven
students were giving me a lot of attitude and talk back during a practice test,
and I had to separate pairs who were distracted and socializing instead of
getting the work done. I pulled two students outside to talk to them after
separating them from their pairs because they were talking back. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">In period 5, the whole class was
incredibly chatty during the practice test that I continually had to ask them
to quiet down and focus. I didn’t have to pull anyone outside. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">What I learned: in period 3, from
my planning with my co-teacher, we discussed that students who wanted to work
in pairs could do so quietly. Also, students could work individually. The step
by step instructions were a bit off, as I found out in period 3. First, pairs
didn’t work for the practice test in period 3, so in period 5 I didn’t have
them work in pairs. Second, I should have had the students preview the stories
before setting them loose to choose (the sub’s suggestion!). Third, I should
have let the students “get into” and read the story at least halfway through
(about 15 minutes) before having giving them the graphic organizer to complete.
Fourth, each assignment was a major transition, which was hard for the class.
Fifth, I learned to never disturb or transition when students are focused and
working hard. Six, I shouldn’t have pulled one student out of class to talk to
her when she slammed her books down (twice) when I asked her to move out of a
partnership and into an individual role. I should have talked to her out of
class. Her leaving class was distracting for everyone, who focused on that
instead of their practice test. Seventh, the jigsaw activity includes moving
all the desks in class into groups. With 42 students crammed into the
classroom, it’s challenging on the best of days. It also stirs up the class and
gets them chatty and disrupted. I should have saved the jigsaw activity and
group work for the last activity of the day, instead of the middle activity.
The students were less than focused during the practice test, which is quiet
work, and hard to get into after a busy, noisy activity. In period 5, (with the
sub’s help), I rearranged the schedule (since it wasn’t smooth for period 3)
and did the jigsaw at the end of the class session. It worked. Whew. It was
good, challenging, and I learned a lot. </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Classroom management practices
continue to be a challenge for my CT and I. We moved to the computer lab, so my
typical signals and position in the classroom were mute in this new
environment. I need to learn how to find flexible management structures that
work in all settings—in and out of the classroom. We have a large class and
computers and Internet access are inherently tempting and distracting. However,
the students mostly worked well in the lab setting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I tried the count down from 5, which works in
class, but I couldn’t use that strategy the whole time. My computer lab teacher
computer was far removed from the students’ computers. I need a signal or other
technique, especially in a new environment. </span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Teaching the same material in two
classes means I work out the kinks in period 3 and then things go smoother in
period 5. So, we’re cruising through the material in period 5 and it’s a bit
bumpy in period 3. The good news is that I’m learning as I go and making
adjustments that impact my future teaching; however, I feel badly that period 3
has to suffer through some of my growing pains. At the same time, it’s great to
fly through period 5 because we have more classroom management issues there.
So, period 5’s classroom management is easing, but period 3’s management
difficulties are increasing. It makes sense because instruction helps guide the
classroom environment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I will work on being clearer with
expectations and anticipating issues and questions. With directions, if there
are three steps, I’ll say, “There are three steps, 1…” Then list, 2. Then list,
3. Then list. Also, I’ll work on clarity with my expectations with note taking
and presentations. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used a Prezi today,
Friday, 12/7/12 and there isn’t an easy print function for the “slides.” So,
having notes for students was challenging. In the future, I’ll need to make more
time to print out the notes or prepare cloze notes for students to fill in the
blanks. It didn’t work well in third period, but by fifth period, I modeled how
students choose the best words to write down and it worked great. Plus, it’s an
important skill to be able to listen to and watch a presentation and select the
key words. The assessment proved that they got the material because they took
great notes based on the modeling my co-teacher and I did to help them through
the presentation. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">We built community at the
beginning of the year and kept building throughout each lesson. Strong engaging
curriculum is the best classroom management. We used seating charts to place
students in appropriate places conducive to their learning and near others they
partnered well with, in addition to taking special needs and English learning
needs into consideration for proximity to the source of instruction. We
fostered mutual respect and diversity of culture, values, goals, and ideas by
having open, big idea discussions and addressing issues as they arose. We used
a signal from the same place in the classroom, during discussion, to gain
attention and bring students back to the discussion at transition points. When
needed, we used progressive discipline plans of checking in with the student
during class, discussing how we could help the student(s) just outside the
classroom door during class, discussing what’s working and not working after
class, contacting students’ parents, and we had to give one referral. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

in the computer lab. In the computer lab, we finished the characterization
chart with chapters 5 and 6. We had only done 1 through 4 previously. After
one hour, we returned to the classroom and held the reading minute (students
read at the front of class, from a book of their choice, for one minute, each
day), class-wide discussion about chapters 5 and 6, completed the reading
guide theme and thesis for the chapters and book, and addressed students’
questions.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

learned the curriculum is the same in middle and high school. I found that to
be alarming. Also, my co-teacher added technology with Ted Talks about food

worked out the pacing and flow of the instruction, and collected and graded
the assessment. It was awesome. I created a prezi to help us wrap up the
novella and work with plot of the story and character arc. We finished our
anticipation/reaction guide, completed a general character analysis
discussing how students judge character in everyday life, passed back a
mountain of papers, and did Silent Sustained Reading (while I went around and
checked off homework). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I choose to try to take on as
much direct teaching and leading of the instruction and activities as I could
this week. I jumped in, with a lot of planning, preparation, collaborating with
my co-teacher, and creating materials. It was great. I also worked with the assessments
and grading. It’s so valuable to share a learning experience with the students,
then see their responses and quick writes and see a measure of their learning
in the assessments. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I felt the class wide discussion
I led on Wednesday was engaging, deep, meaningful and full of participation.
Students reflected (in writing) on the novel and really seemed to understand
the big ideas and themes of the story, which validated the instruction and
discussion. They also appreciated using the computers again to complete what we
started in the previous week (characterization charts), but for the remaining
chapters 5 and 6. The students enjoyed seeing a new presentation program—Prezi.
We discussed the software and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Of Mice and
Men</i>’s plot and character arc. It was nice to finish the book; however, many
students in periods 3 and 5, upon my asking, admitted that they didn’t like the
novel. A handful of students really liked the story. Most students really only
liked the final two chapters, but thought the first few chapters dragged. It’s
great to have their feedback. Personally, I think it’s time to start teaching
more modern materials. I read the same books we’re teaching these students when
I was in high school! It’s harder for the students to connect to the material
and muster the interest to see it through. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Teaching the same material in two
classes means I work out the kinks in period 3 and then things go smoother in
period 5. So, we’re cruising through the material in period 5 and it’s a bit
bumpy in period 3. The good news is that I’m learning as I go and making
adjustments that impact my future teaching; however, I feel badly that period 3
has to suffer through some of my growing pains. At the same time, it’s great to
fly through period 5 because we have more classroom management issues there.
So, period 5’s classroom management is easing, but period 3’s management
difficulties are increasing. It makes sense because instruction helps guide the
classroom environment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I will work on being clearer with
expectations and anticipating issues and questions. With directions, if there
are three steps, I’ll say, “There are three steps, 1…” Then list, 2. Then list,
3. Then list. Also, I’ll work on clarity with my expectations with note taking
and presentations. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used a Prezi today,
Friday, 12/7/12 and there isn’t an easy print function for the “slides.” So,
having notes for students was challenging. In the future, I’ll need to make more
time to print out the notes or prepare cloze notes for students to fill in the
blanks. It didn’t work well in third period, but by fifth period, I modeled how
students choose the best words to write down and it worked great. Plus, it’s an
important skill to be able to listen to and watch a presentation and select the
key words. The assessment proved that they got the material because they took
great notes based on the modeling my co-teacher and I did to help them through
the presentation. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I participated in online learning experiences that provided me
with an opportunity to reflect and understand digital age learners. I also collaborated
with my colleagues, online via our blogs, to share and expand my thinking. <o:p> </o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Project Tomorrow Report
Refection<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I read the Project
Tomorrow </span>"Leveraging Intelligent Adaptive Learning to Personalize
Education" report. <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">My opinion is adaptive
learning is part of the future of education. I’d like to have CSUSM include
adaptive learning in our training so that I arrive for my teaching position with
experience in adaptive learning tools. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br />What surprises me is
“28% of administrators are calling for an “individualized education plan” for
every student, not just special needs students.” Are they both “calling for”
and helping to make it possible? That would be amazing. Is this only in high
performing, highly funded schools? How do we make this a reality in the poorest
areas with the least amount of funding and limited computers and computer
access? <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br />It doesn’t surprise me
that, “district administrators rank intelligent adaptive learning #1 for
improving student achievement.” It makes perfect sense. Also, it’s essential
that “Two-thirds of principals (67 percent) noted that the use of digital
content in the classroom increases student engagement in school and learning,
and 45 percent see digital content as a new pathway for personalized
instruction for each student.” Also, it’s great that “parents want technology
solutions that provide individualized instruction-- 57 percent of parents see
online learning as a way for their child to work at his/her own pace.” <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I’ll use the
information to inform my teaching by working with my district and school site
to use Dream Box as part of our instruction. In addition, I’d like to have computers
for all students in my classroom (or at least more access to the computer lab).
Also, I’d like to use some type of digital games within instruction and include
online and software games as part of my instructional toolkit. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Source: </span><a href="http://www.tomorrow.org/speakup/speakup_reports.html"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.tomorrow.org/speakup/speakup_reports.html</span></span></a><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Videos from Speak Up<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The Speak Up video I
chose to view was the “<a href="http://www.tomorrow.org/DearMrPresidentVideo.html"><span style="color: blue;">Dear President</span></a>”
video. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">In my opinion, Speak
Up is a wonderful way to help students advocate for social justice and their
own educations. In this video, students tell the newly elected President Obama
and Congress in 2008 "What one thing they would do to improve schools to
ensure that all students receive the education and skills they need to be
successful in life."<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">It surprises me that
students framed their conversation with, “If I were president,” which is an excellent
way to get attention and communicate from a place of power and possibility. I
agree with everything that the students mentioned (except for the student who
mentioned that we should treat schools like for-profit corporations in our capitalist
system—which is basically how schools were structured during the industrial revolution
making students mass produced products!). <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">What doesn’t surprise
me is that students are articulate, intelligent, professional, logical, passionate,
and creative about solutions like, "reduce teacher-student ratio, make
education apply to the real-world, have more field trips and hands-on work,
increase funding for tech advancements, purchase new textbooks each year, stop
focusing on standardized testing, stop teaching to the test, provide each
student a laptop, bring education outside of the school walls for a new, exploratory,
and real-world perspective, have mandatory computer classes for student mastery,
allow students to bring their own laptops if they have them, have teachers discuss
industry and politics in the classroom, individualize instruction and test
based on differences instead of similarities, make higher education more
affordable, change school start time to later morning to work better with high
school students’ natural rhythms, teach from a global and world perspective, hire
passionate teachers, instead of no student left behind have no school or
community left behind, teach real-world adult skills, give students autonomy
and job-focused specialty courses, make school more like college, have students
work in businesses during the school day, use technology to gain job skills in
school, and treat school as job training.” These are amazing and excellent
ideas. Now, how do we make it happen? It’s time for an education revolution.
Who will lead the charge? <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">It’s my job to help
lead the charge and to help students find a way to lead the charge, too. This information
informs and supports my philosophy and practice of teaching by having students
continue to consider their lives from a Postmodern viewpoint by discussing
power systems (the government, school board, district, and voters) and
oppression (students not building the skills they need to successfully compete
in an evolving economy due to lack of technology and funding in old education models
steeped the past) and use their creativity and knowledge to exert their own power
of expression to get what they need in life. My postmodern philosophy supports
Speak Up because I believe in the classroom being democratic, and offering a platform,
such as this, for students’ to voice their different perspectives on issues
that matter to them.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Youth TEACH2Learn Resources<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The YouthTEACH2Learn
Resources is a “</span>career exploration program where students explore
teaching as a career. During the course, the students gain practical experience
by observing elementary school classrooms, learning how to teach science and
math, developing and teaching standards-based lessons to younger students in
neighboring elementary schools and participating in local community service
projects. In addition, students also have the opportunity to meet local
educators, attend career panels and visit local college campuses in order to
determine if the teaching is a "good-fit" for their professional
goals.” This is a great way to help students understand the other side of
teaching science and math, and try it on to see if it suits them. It’s always a
great way for students to volunteer in their communities and help younger
students learn. <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">If the program also included English and
Language Arts, I would start such a program at my school site by generating and
documenting interest among parents and students, discovering who would want to
take the class as an elective, and discussing the idea with the administration
and other teachers. I’d start the conversation with my department informally to
see if they knew of any students interested in teaching. I’d add the topic to
the agenda at a department or site-wide meeting. From there we’d begin to
promote the idea of starting the program within my classes, and I’d ask other
teachers to do the same. The clubs are student-based. A student would need to
attend a club meeting in the ASB room and complete an application to start a
club. Clubs and programs are best started through the students, with support
from teachers and administrators. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The benefits of
starting a “Future Teachers” type of organization would be limited to science
and math teachers and students. The program would include benefits for students
such as, “</span>career exploration, increased interest in science and math for
elementary students, <span class="bullethead">d</span>evelopment of academic and
professional skills (leadership, teamwork, meeting deadlines, and public
speaking), earned units (three) of transferable college credit, company and
career exposure, resume building, college reference, and work experience. <span class="bullethead">School benefits</span> include, “creating an interest in
science and math, developing future teachers, on-site resource to track student
interests and trends, teacher-students pairs where students help grade papers
and develop lesson plans, direction after graduation, and creation of a college
culture.”<br />

– most of these students work well in small groups, but there are a few that
prefer to work independently, many are easily distracted, four need constant
reminders to stay on task due to being overly social or unaware. Some love

Kevin doesn’t like English because, “I’m not that good at it.” He wants to
learn, “how to spell better.” He likes to work in groups because, “I work
better with others than by myself.” Kevin also said that in English class, “The
writing could make the class hard for me.” Kevin doesn’t enjoy reading, “gets
bored after about ten minutes,” and thinks “kids younger than I am read better
than I do.” He does not have access to many books (English or Spanish) at home.

particularly appropriate for the ninth grade classroom because it presents a
very familiar, human side to these problems. It is specific, rather than epic.
Our simple characters are a part representing the whole, which makes it a very
accessible story. Both the prose and the vernacular dialogue of the novel are

consider what friendships mean. We’ll discuss why we have friends, how we keep
friends, and how society is structured for friendship or isolation. We’ll look
at why we’re reading Steinbeck’s novel, why he’s important, what it means to be
a Pulitzer Prize winner. We’ll look at the Great Depression of the 30s and 40s
and compare that with today’s recession and financial crisis. </span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

the novel and discuss Lennie and George, why the author does what he does, what
decisions the author makes, Steinbeck’s meaning and intent through authentic
and student-focused mind maps and global questions that impact their lives. I’ll
make them love George and Lennie so that they are impelled to keep reading—to
want to read the story. I’ll help them connect their views on friendship with
the relationships in the story. How would it be to have a friend who “thinks
like a small child” but is also incredibly strong and big? </span></div>

As we start the reading, I’ll introduce Socratic seminar style debates and
journaling (with journal prompts). These skills relate to other classes. I’ll
help students see the interconnectedness of the units, other content areas, and
their lives. We’ll discuss, write about, present, and synthesize topics,
themes, and characters that merit great consideration and various readers may
well make strong opposing arguments. Our work will focus on issues central to
our morality, humanity, human rights, and ethics.</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

social change through a variety of topics, we’ll look at migrant farm works
today, in comparison with the 1930s. We’ll come upon racism and sexism in the
story, and discuss how that has changed or stayed the same since the 1930s. The
topics of euthanasia and justice are also present in the story and provide
opportunities for rich debate. Mini-lessons and opportunities to connect and
deepen help students invest in and flow through the story. All throughout the
reading, activities, and beyond, students work with language, literary devices,
themes, and vocabulary—building on our previous unit, and moving them forward
to future units. <span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I will explain that they need to make entries in the journal every time they

will be asked to note the pages read and the amount of time spent. Then, they

reading that prevented understanding. I will give the students examples,
including vocabulary words, plot points, character motivations, et cetera. Keys
are any revelations or understandings the students come to during or after

Students learn through interactive and authentic discussions about the
questions and issues raised in texts. These discussions should be premised on
the following. Questions are valuable and promote learning. No student need be
embarrassed about difficulty in comprehension. We rely together on the
collective resources of the students and the teacher to find answers and
generate understanding. We rely on close reading of the text to support
opinions about an author’s contentions. We rely on our knowledge of literary
terms such as, plot, setting, character, theme, symbol, allusion, etc. as both
a lens through which we look at texts and a specialized jargon that allows us
to articulate with precision our ideas about those texts.</span></div>

a component of intimacy and privacy that some students thrive on and some
topics necessitate. Also, this kind of learning activity can generate a rich
diversity of opinion that is not elicited as easily by the whole group format.
Further, by thinking about how I might divide the students into groups, I can
manipulate the learning and the interactions in a positive way. </span></div>

plan this unit around the central idea of Unity (Friendship) in opposition to
Isolation (the social forces at work that promote division). I chose to work
with this idea for several reasons. First, George and Lennie’s relationship is
obviously paramount to the way readers construct meaning from this text. This
relationship is complicated and somewhat ambiguous. For instance, George is
both protective and manipulative in the way he interacts with Lennie. He is
alternately loving and demeaning. I think the question of what motivations we
ultimately attribute to George is at the heart of how we interpret his ultimate
act, when he shoots Lennie. For my part, I find George a sympathetic character,
and I read him as man who is pressed into an unwelcome act, a mercy killing, to
protect his friend from greater harm and hardship. I believe his action requires
both bravery and love. Nonetheless, this question is rich enough that it merits
great consideration and various readers may well make strong opposing
arguments. I also believe that this question goes directly to very important,
larger questions that are central to our morality, humanity and ethics.</span></div>

novel as well. Characterizing George and Lennie’s shared, utopian vision is
crucial to making meaning of this text. Establishing the modesty of this vision
allows students to learn about how pragmatic considerations about society
impinge on our ideals, and the historical context of this novel helps to
illuminate this. That is, the economic realities of the Great Depression
changed people’s visions of what they could expect from life. Establishing the
ubiquity of their dream also serves to emphasize our interconnectedness and our
similarities. Steinbeck argues through his work that the migrant workers of the
thirties all shared a vision, and the great tragedy of the novel is the power
of the social forces that divide them and keep them from realizing their
collective potential. In this way, the idea of Dreams can be tied back to Unity
and Isolation.</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

must be referenced and unpacked for students to make meaning from this text.
These are powerful and divisive forces at work can be interpreted as important
elements in creating the tragedy of the storyline. Not only are these ideas
central to Steinbeck’s work, they are ideologies that are very much alive
today, and can be connected easily to student experiences. Race relations and
gender politics are considerations that every student should be forced to
grapple with in high school, college and beyond, and are present, either
implicitly or explicitly, in every text in every curriculum in every nation of
the world. Steinbeck uses politically charged, degrading terms such as
“jailbait,” “rattrap” and “poison” to describe Curley’s wife. Crooks is called
the “stable nigger” throughout the novel. These epithets need to explored and
confronted, lest the indecent and inhumane sentiments behind these names remain
unchallenged in the classroom and in society. Racism and sexism can be tied
back to our central theme if we view them as ideologies that prevent the kind
of solidarity for which the characters long.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

should be asked to explore the question of who wields power in this text, and
to what ends. Steinbeck makes little reference to the “boss” of the ranch, yet
this omission is in itself worthy of the students’ consideration. The
characters we see are all toiling for a man who controls things from a
distance, protected from the dangers to which the ranch hands are subjected.
The boss is characterized implicitly, through his son, Curley, who is
unquestionably the least sympathetic character in the book. He is pugnacious,
mean-spirited, untrusting and hard-hearted. Again, this theme is easily tied
back to the central theme of the unit, as students are asked to explore how
Unity might alter an entrenched power dynamic.</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></div>

to speak and write about the themes at play in Steinbeck’s novel. I see all the
texts in the curriculum as competing voices in a dialogue about the questions
that we ask about ourselves. Steinbeck’s voice is stridently proletariat and
humanitarian. Steinbeck deifies compassion as the ultimate human capacity. This
contention must be analyzed and evaluated. Students need help in understanding
what Steinbeck is arguing before they can begin to evaluate it in terms of
their own experiences. In this unit, I strive to connect explicitly the issues
at play in the novel to student experiences, and ask that the students do
likewise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

discussion, decision-making, trial and error, working individually and in
groups, and coming to consensus. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Critical thinking and problem solving occur in my class when
student choose an appropriate action for a situation or appropriate response
based on deductive and inductive reasoning. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Communication, discussion, and collaboration occur when
there are multiple points of view that lead to alternative ways to think and
act. Students articulate thoughts and ideas in writing, nonverbal
communication, and verbally to persuade others and share their values, beliefs,
ideas, attitudes, and knowledge. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I support and teach information literacy by having students
use texts and information to accurately and creatively solve or state an issue,
problem, and solution. We evaluate our sources and how to determine if
information is credible and trustworthy. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I teach media literacy by dissecting messages, looking at
the intent, purpose, and point of view of the provider. We discuss the ethics
surrounding access and use of media. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We use technology in my class for students to research,
organize, evaluate, and communicate information through computers, smart
phones, and social networks. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I teach students to
work independently and provide opportunities for them to be self-directed
learners by having them connect assignments and readings to their life, family,
and career goals. Students learn to adapt to changes in instruction at times of
transition. They must set goals for themselves and balance short and long-term
assignments. Learning to manage their time and take personal responsibility is
essential in my class and in students’ lives. Learning is a lifelong process. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Students are given
opportunities to work in diverse teams and teach each other in jigsaw and group
activities, they take on roles within groups where they have the opportunity to
interact with each other, work effectively in diverse teams, manage projects,
and produce results they share with the class and together. Students learn to
listen, speak, record, write, time manage, share, collect, analyze, and
synthesize as a community that takes all interests into mind through problem-solving
and communication. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Overall, </span>I
teach students strategies to read and comprehend a variety of texts and a
variety of information sources, in the subject taught. <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I vary instructional strategies according to purpose and lesson
content.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To meet student academic
learning needs, I explain content clearly and reinforce content in multiple
ways, such as the use of written and oral presentation, manipulatives, physical
models, visual and performing arts, diagrams, non-verbal communication, and
computer technology.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

</b></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I can relate to the Rubinstein-Avila article statement that, "Secondary
teachers may not be aware that many of their ELLs have been designated as such throughout
much of their K-12 school experience because they failed to score above the
36th percentile on standardized test (in English)." When it comes to the
students in my Acquisition Language Development (ALD) class, I had misconceptions about students before I knew their background, story,
life, and history. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">One of the twelve students in my ALD class was born in America—though
her parents and family were born outside the United States and speak Spanish as
their primary language—she doesn’t know how and never speaks Spanish at home or
school, only learned English, but is classified as an ELD student! I had assumed,
prior to supporting the teacher of the ALD class, that any ELD or ALD student must
have been born in another country and speak another primary language other than
English.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This student, like Miquel, struggled with later literacies. It
makes me wonder, is this student, like Miguel struggling with English because
of painful early literacy experiences earlier in her life. I imagine her
parents wanted her to learn English only, like other immigrant families I knew
throughout my life. My son's father immigrated from Russia, and his mother, who
was bilingual, demanded that he must only speak English. He never learned or
heard Russian after he was four. He was lucky because his mother also spoke
English and helped him developed English literacy. But, he lost his first
language and culture completely. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">One strategy for me to understand students like the girl in my
ALD class would be to listen to her story (and her parents) to find about her
literacy experiences. If her parents don’t speak English and are not bilingual,
this student may have deficits in Spanish, which would impact her early
literacy development and ability to learn English, too. If her parents avoided
Spanish and didn’t know English, my student could have suffered from lack of
literacy in either language and therefore is English and Spanish deficient. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Another strategy to help in creating a bilingual atmosphere
would be to make a commitment to building a shared school community by
displaying all cultures within the school on the school campus, integrate
multiculturalism, and talk about language development and literacy as part of
the instruction and student activities. I would also suggest to my ALD student,
after finding out more about her background, that she consider developing her
Spanish skills to help her better develop her later English literacy. </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></b><br />

theme and provides the anticipatory set for the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Beauty is Truth</i> short story. The students located the Golden Mean

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
taught the students about </span><span style="font-family: Cambria;">The Golden Mean for 45 minutes (during my
University Supervisor’s observation). After considering what beauty and truth
mean, students watched a presentation—including a video—about the mathematical
measurements of the ideal beauty studied throughout history in many
disciplines. This ties in to the discussion of theme and provides the
anticipatory set for the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Beauty is Truth</i>
short story. The students located the Golden Mean in artwork using grids.
Students wrote about one phrase from the Anticipation Guide and gave evidence
to support their position for or against the statement with examples from the
two previous assignments. It was fun to plan and take the lead on teaching a
successful, interactive, engaging lesson. And, I was happy to lead two direct
instruction sessions this week. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">During the Golden Mean
presentation, there were several things I could have done better. During the whole
class period, I could have used a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">signal</b>
to get students’ attention when necessary. I spoke with my co-teacher and we
came up with the count down from 5 during transitions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Regarding positioning myself at an “attention
spot,” I will stand at the front, near the projector, to signal I need their
attention, I will also use the signal of the Mavericks (silently, with my hand
in the air) to focus the students. Additionally, my co-teacher brought a bell
to ring to pull attention back to direct instruction, as needed, when
particularly noisy or engaged in student activity, independent, partner, and
group work. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0.45pt 0pt 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Before the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">video</b>, I should have clarified about the math expectations. The
math was just the background context from which to understand the activity.
Independent note-taking was a bit advanced for the students. I should have been
more explicit with the exact measurable goals with the class. And, the video
required a lot of high level listening skills. I should have handed out the
important text from the presentation for students to use during the activity
(that were relevant to the activity). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">During the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">video</b>, I should have paused to check for understanding. During the
presentation, I incorrectly said Pi instead of Phi. For the hands-on activity
with art and grid transparencies, I should have found a way to model for
students prior to them doing the activity themselves. Also, I could have used
cooperative learning by having students pair and support each other. Once one
student found the golden mean in their art, I should have instructed them to
help someone around them. My co-teacher and I differentiated instruction and
supported students who needed assistance; however, there wasn’t enough of “us”
to go around. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

materials, and teaching that align with the expectations of the CSUSM
co-teaching model so there is a balance with my coursework, co-teaching, and
life. My cooperating teacher and I are on the same page about expectations and
scaling back my lesson plan and material creation, while continuing our
collaborative overall planning, and my teaching lead staying to 15-30 minutes,
as often as possible for the next four weeks. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We discussed how I can help add to
the online experience. Another website is not beneficial to the students; it
would create some confusion since I’m already referenced on my co-teacher’s
site. Instead, I created an Edmoto site at: </span><a href="http://edmodo.com/freshmanenglish"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Cambria;">http://edmodo.com/freshmanenglish</span></span></a><span style="font-family: Cambria;">. This site acts a lot like
Facebook. We’re considering having students interact on my Edmoto site, created
for our freshman English 9 class, when we do <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Of Mice and Men</i>. I also posted the materials I created for class:
one as an assignment, two lesson plans as library references for teachers. I’ll
continue to update my Edmoto site, and think of ways to have the students
interact with each other on the space. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

They’ll do almost anything to impress their friends and gain independence. Cognitive neuroscientist Sarah-Jayne Blakemore compares the prefrontal cortex in adolescents to that of adults, to show us how typically “teenage” behavior is caused by the growing and developing brain. Scientists and educators try to understand adolescent behavior in terms of the underlying changes that are going on in their brain. <br />
<br />
Teen behavior is no accident. Grey matter in prefrontal cortex is still developing until people are in their early twenties. Therefore, adolescent brain activity, the network of brain regions in the medial prefrontal cortex, causes teens to want to have more active social interactions. However, strong synapses are improving, while weak synapses are pruned away during this time of development. Their brain and grey matter cause them to feel self-conscious, make it hard for them to control their impulses, prohibits them from saying something inappropriate, making decisions, and seeing other people’s perspectives—overall they are less self-aware. All the while the limbic system during this time is hypersensitive to the good feeling teens get from taking risks.<br />
<br />
It’s important to understand that the adolescent brain is malleable during this time. Adolescents are the most creative during their brain development, and there is a large opportunity for teaching and social development during this time. <br />
<br />
Lesson designs and planning that incorporate the knowledge of the teenage brain in the following ways will help connect learning to the developing brain and memory. <br />
<br />
1. Repeat information, concepts, and themes in a variety of ways. When a neuron receives a message repeatedly, the connection is strengthened.<br />
<br />
2. Feed teen’s need for independence by giving them choice and autonomy.<br />
<br />
3. Help adolescents take safe risks with kinesthetic (physical) activities, active participation and experiences, in a positive community, authentic performance tasks that matter to them, are valued, and bring about change and awareness. <br />
<br />
4. Create social environments where teens thrive and are engaged by interacting well with peers in collaborative groups. <br />
<br />
My overall attitude and strategies in teaching teenagers needs to encompass their brain growth and development. It’s important that teachers use optimism, kindness, humor, and teach with multiple intelligences, include interesting anticipatory sets, make sure to include a purpose that is relevant to the students’ lives, and active working and long term memory, formative and summative assessment. I make a connection to the social brain by having students use and practice the learning concepts together. <br />
<br />
My planning for learning is designed to access memory lanes and use what I know about how adolescents learn by teaching from a growth mindset—helping students become aware of their developing brains. <br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Two days a week, I support my co-teacher at
my school site in an Academic Language Development (ALD) course for English-language
learners who have just been designated. ALD uses English 3D curriculum to
inform the instruction and student activities. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Each class session is highly structured for
the first hour and fifteen minutes, followed by time available to students to
complete homework and one-on-one, individualized teacher/student tutoring and
mentoring where students demonstrate using academic English in other classes
(creating a bridge for technical and academic language use in life and other
classes), reflect, create action plans, and receive feedback on success strategies,
such as, organization (binder, agenda); collaboration (study skills and
in-class partner/group/class work); and academic progress check (all classes). <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The classroom has twelve students who face
each other from both sides of the classroom. The space is large for twelve
students with plenty of room to move around in pairs and to spread out for
individual and group homework collaboration. The teacher is very process-and
people-oriented, and allows students to eat breakfast in class (not allowed for
other classes), because some of the students are hungry or bring their
breakfast to eat at school. The space is non-confrontational, the students are
all comfortable with each other and they react positively (low stress) to group
and pair interactions. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span></span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Response
and sentence frames provide scaffolding for gradual release throughout the
course. Frames become increasingly reduced so students’ responses become
increasingly independent. The workbook allows students to refer to previous
work for help, as needed. Teacher and curriculum establish think-aloud strategies
for students and teacher. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

and language objectives are clearly stated, read aloud and shown in writing,
and students repeat the objectives orally and in writing. Content and language concepts
are appropriate for the students’ age and background. Content includes students
using precise words, verbs, and adjectives; describing people; Language
objectives include: restating, comparing, and reporting their and classmate’s
ideas using complete sentences during interaction. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

includes students using precise words, verbs, and adjectives; Vocabulary and concepts
are interwoven through instruction and activities. Content includes cultural
and social norms (invisible curriculum) technical and academic terms, and a
variety of questions that promote higher-order thinking are used. Each section
is set up as a question, such as, “How does a lesson partner demonstrate active
listening?” Teacher states (and it’s in writing) part of speech, defines in
casual language and academic language, and uses words in context. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span></span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Students
tap into real life experiences though discussion, reflection, and response. They
build schema, role-play, use peer tutors (and adult tutors), speak their L1s
and L2s during instruction and in discussion as needed to process their
thinking, ideas, and responses. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">

for formative and summative assessments of the student’s comprehension and
ability by the teacher and the student themselves. Students also take a Beginning-of-Year
Test, including assessments of students’ background knowledge on language
functions. Later formal assessments include fluency and writing ability. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is an effective lesson for English
learners because English 3D curriculum teaching strategies and student
activities cover five stages of English development and proficiency levels,
matching ELD standards and SDAIE strategies. There is scaffolding at the
beginning of the program, which leads to independence by the end of the
program. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I would modify the lesson and activities to
give students more choice and autonomy over the materials.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the curriculum was less “fixed” and had
less process formulas it would be easier to adapt to all levels of proficiency.
However, this model works to pair students with lower fluency, and weaker
writing, listening, and speaking with students who have reached higher levels
of proficiency and stronger writing, listening, and speaking skills. Also, more
meaningful activities would help engage the students. However, the benefits of working
through the scaffolding as a class helps students who have accumulated learning
gaps and helps recognized and address needs. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Overall, the students don’t seem engaged in
the coursework. Now that we’re a month into the curriculum, I’m glad we’ve
transitioned from walking through the early routines to discussing the issues,
found in non-fiction articles that relate topics of interest to teenagers, with
a balanced perspective and discussion prompts regarding video games, fast food,
social challenges, graffiti, teen driving, etc. The students were livelier during
the most recent lesson where we discussed video games, than in the other
lessons that focused predominately on reading, listening, writing, and
interacting within the instructional routines. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

conceptual model considers multiple factors of acquiring a second language with
the goal of bringing students to the same level of proficiency as L1
native-English speakers. Factors include simultaneous development of
sociocultural (affective, social, psychological), linguistic (first and second
language acquisition in pronunciation, vocabulary, meaning, context, nonverbal,
thought patterns), academic (development in all academic subjects through the
student’s L1), and cognitive development.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">A
key point to remember when I apply theoretical frameworks to teach English
learners across content area classes is that it’s a lifelong process. Another
point to consider is how long language proficiency will take each learner.
According to Collier, English L2 learners take, “…at least 5-7 years to reach
typical [English] native-speaker performance…when they have at least 2-3 years
of first language schooling.” It takes two to three years longer for immigrant
students with “no schooling in their home country.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Several
questions come to mind. How can English-based curriculum and English-dominated
institutions provide the level of support needed for the conceptual model? If
dual-bilingual education is the answer, how do we bring more English L1
students and families on board? Or find the time, money, or support needed to
make this a reality in our schools? Also, when traveling abroad, many Europeans
have a level of proficiency comparable to L1 speakers, and in multiple
languages. What can we learn from the European language acquisition model for
applying theoretical frameworks? What personal responsibility lies with the
immigrant students and families to practice the English language and develop
their L1 academic and cognitive development? This model seems to lay most of
the responsibility with the school. How does this concept fit into a classroom
with 44 students who are heterogeneous as EL, RSP, 504, and English L1
students? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Collier
offers some solutions to my questions. “When first language instructional
support cannot be provided, “(1) second language taught through academic
content; (2) conscious focus on teaching learning strategies needed to develop
thinking skills and problem-solving abilities; and (3) continuous support for
staff development emphasizing activation of students’ prior knowledge, respect
for students’ home language and culture, cooperative learning, interactive
discovery learning, intense and meaningful cognitive/academic development, and
ongoing assessment using multiple measures.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">In
the language development class I work in at La Costa Canyon, where first
language instructional support cannot be provided, I’m happy to say that think,
pair, share, brainstorming, sentence frames, and academic language are used in
a cooperative learning environment. These solutions are some of Collier’s recommendations.
Because the class only has 12 student and there are two teachers to support
their learning, ongoing informal and formal assessments using multiple measures
takes place at every class session. I’m glad that we’re following the model the
best we can. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

compositions (advertisements, graphics, buildings, video games, movies) were
created using the theory of aesthetics to manipulate our sense of attraction
to their beautiful “product.” Beauty and truth have been discussed throughout
history because of how it makes people feel. There are several ways people
have tried to measure beauty and truth. One of those ways is called the Golden
Mean. Once students understand how the golden mean works, they can look at
everything in a new way. Additionally, they can use the Golden Mean in any of
their visual compositions for school, college, or work projects. </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

(drawing, mathematics, manipulatables, choose to work in groups,
individually, or in pairs, choose the grid you want to use, choose the partner
you want to read their descriptive writing and draw, formats), and interests
(students choose how to work, where to work, whom to work with, whom to share
their writing, whom to pair with to work through the reading and homework,
which manipulatables to use, how to draw from the descriptions, how to
describe the art, what they think and feel about beauty and truth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Helping the
student get into an assignment is just as valuable as getting them through the
assignment. If they don’t get into it and build interest, how or why would give
their attention to what, in English, is sometimes dry, outdated, and not
multicultural or relevant to a 15 year old freshman in high school. If the
students can connect emotionally to the topic or subject—before the direct
instruction—they have a better chance of remembering what they learned because
it’s affective and has meaning for them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It’s my job to get
them excited about the topic and help them to see how it connects to their
lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I appreciated reading about
Fisher and Frey’s excellent anticipatory activities to “activate background
knowledge, elicit curiosity, provide questions, and evoke recall of newly
learned material (scaffolding), and shift the learning to the student.” Many of
the other activities Fisher and Frey provide are new to me. I’d like to use
some of their suggested anticipatory “demonstrations, discrepant events, visual
displays and thought-provoking (essential) questions in my classroom. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Interview (p. 24) of a historical person that connects to a story or topic is
a great idea. The teacher video-tape is great, but a low-budget version would
be to have the teacher dress up and let the students or a panel of students
interview them in class. Also, an interesting through or beyond activity may
be to have the students interview each other as characters. The other great
ideas from the chapter include the Three Step Interview (p. 26) where
students interview each other about a quickwrite, or create a poem out of a
quickwrite. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I appreciate how
science and other fields lend themselves to hands-on, visual, and kinesthetic
anticipatory activities. In English, with reading , writing, and speaking, it’s
a bit more challenging to have demonstrations and include kinesthetic and hands-on
activities. I always try to stretch myself to think about how to incorporate
multiple subjects and multimodalities for every lesson. Realia and the internet
add many options to bring a lesson to life for the students, as well as helping
English-learner and special needs students meet the learning objectives and
succeed in the student activities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
