The use of DOK to elicit more student driven responses and research

One way my teaching has evolved this year is that I have focused on student-centered learning.

# data[].attributes.body
One way is that I was able to utilize Socratic Seminars,TRTW w/ DOK and Learning stations most times.

# data[].attributes.body
One way my teaching has evolved this year is by incorporating more student-centered activities and discussions. I noticed that students were more engaged when they could interact with content in a collaborative way, so I moved away from lecture-heavy lessons. This has led to increased participation and deeper understanding of the material.

Students' ability to build their own connections from the text to the real world.

My ELDA kids can now hold a conversation. Some of them started with zero english knowledge/word.

# data[].attributes.body
Students participated in presentations, jigsaw exercises, poster board activities, Cafe Presentations, and, of course, ECR's. We are reading The Alchemist right now and ending the year with a Multimedia ECR reflecting on a "Personal Legend."

learning new strategies for my students to better understand the material we read.

# data[].attributes.body
Is the use of SAY, MEAN, MATTER. It helped me and the students organized their ideas and express more about the text evidence they are reading.

# data[].attributes.body
The greatest satisfaction I get from student growth is seeing them truly learn and appreciate their progress.

# data[].attributes.body
Just more plan/collaborative time with coworkers during our plan periods. Even to just grade, lesson plan, or decompress.

# data[].attributes.body
I plan to implement more proactive classroom management strategies that promote student ownership and positive behavior.

# data[].attributes.body
Be able to start phonology and make IMs for EBs especially the newcomers.

# data[].attributes.body
More strategies/activities to build student research skills.

# data[].attributes.body
Next year, I would like to make certain all students feel engaged, active, and proud of their work in class.

# data[].attributes.body
One goal for teaching next year is to involve the students' interest in the curriculum. For example, I would use those articles to make PACE responses if they like sports.

# data[].attributes.body
One goal I have for teaching next year is to implement more effective strategies to support diverse learners.

# data[].attributes.body
One way my teaching has evolved this year is through the use of more close-reading passages within full novel studies. It forces both me and my students to slow down and really get to know the text.

# data[].attributes.body
It satisfies me to see that they can express outside the box.

# data[].attributes.body
One way my teaching has evolved this year has been trusting my students to lead conversations and have student centered learning, as well as having college level discussions and learning from peers.

More training on maximizing IXL

# data[].attributes.body
I believe my Emergent Bilingual students have experienced significant growth in language acquisition. Also, my Pre-AP students are definitely ready for AP classes next year!

# data[].attributes.body
Now that my first year as a classroom teacher is over, next year I can implement more activities and strategies for the students and better ways to support them as learners

# data[].attributes.body
IXL training

# data[].attributes.body
The evidence of growth that gave me the most satisfaction was hearing my students feel confident about what they read. They were more engaged in discussion and felt safe to ask questions.

# data[].attributes.body
More training for ELDA IMs.

# data[].attributes.body
My students' increased knowledge of literary genres and enhanced writing styles.

# data[].attributes.body
Encourage students to think beyond the box so they will be able to give sensible and meaningful responses.

# data[].attributes.body
Coaching or professional development topics that would help me next year include strategies for student behavior management

# data[].attributes.body
Students have shown a big amount of growth in finding textual evidence, quoting that evidence, and being able to explain.

# data[].attributes.body
One goal I have for next year is finding natural ways to differentiate a lesson in order to meet the needs of all learners in my classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Goal for next year is to set up a new course that would become a template for a hybrid course in AP Seminar for the charter!

# data[].attributes.body
I want to increase the consistency and effectiveness of my classroom / behavioral management.

# data[].attributes.body
Getting comfortable with teaching AP since it was my first year, and teaching those strategies.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe continued support on comprehensible input/output strategies will most definitely help for EB students. Also, more instructional activities on teaching novels / selections from novels will help with AP students.

# data[].attributes.body
IXL training.

When the light bulb goes off in their brains and they make connections beyond the classroom; when other teachers' notice how well they can write extraordinarily well! That's the best feedback I can ever get...

# data[].attributes.body
I survived my first year of teaching! Most importantly, despite the challenges I faced this year, I managed to build positive relationships with many of my students. Also, I'm finally able to say that the teaching profession is for me.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the way how the reading of the novels and the writing of the essays was implemented in the curriculum, because it gave the students more time to write and revise their work.

It also give ample time for the students to read the novel and digest everything they have read.

# data[].attributes.body
Next year would be my swan song, so I hope to enjoy it to the hilt! :)

# data[].attributes.body
More strategies to help motivate reluctant readers and writers.

# data[].attributes.body
More simple strategies for the students to develop their research skill.

Seeing students understand and verbalize the perspective of the audience has been a big breakthrough for all of us. It has been great to see them use the sentence frames and then launch from the sentence frames in their commentary.

# data[].attributes.body
My teaching is still evolving.

# data[].attributes.body
Having a bunch of my students end up in prestigious universities with the work that they have done for me, and earn scholarships etc., is probably a feather in my cap! ;)

What was challenging is having to do busy work, to display student work every cycle just to take it down shortly thereafter, was a hitting my head on a brick wall moment for me.

Surviving a personal heartache of my father's home call and then a spinal surgery that I underwent and by God's mercy and grace have overcome!

# data[].attributes.body
A few students who were goofing off and disrupting earlier in the year are now writing well!

When I regrouped them, I said, "You're not reaching your potential there." Another student said, "He has a lot of potential!" :D

# data[].attributes.body
Having PDs that are clearly SHOW and not just tell teachers how to navigate the many student learning platforms would be a start.

Perfection Next would be one area...

# data[].attributes.body
Happy with the students' progress. They are trying to incorporate all the components we have practiced for the essays. It's exciting to see the students' pride in their work.

# data[].attributes.body
More students speaking. Maybe giving their argument papers as a speech, and more contests. Charts on walls.
