Standards and ILOs Self-Analysis (5th-6th Grade; Wk 3) by slabarge https://padlet.com/salabarge/5th6thweek3 What standards are you most confident in teaching? Which standards or objectives were unknown to you? How are ILOs incorporated into your lessons? Which ones seem difficult to include? Other reactions, thoughts, questions, and ideas? en-us 2013-04-23 01:12:24 UTC 2016-04-04 10:52:54 UTC hello@padlet.com http://d2s8n7nv9yizdf.cloudfront.net/assets/thmbs/monkey-ce1fc649fb972307aa07275ebf3d900d.jpg Meredith - the solar system https://padlet.com/salabarge/5th6thweek3/wish/10981174 I felt most comfortable teaching the solar system because it was what I had the most background knowledge on before teaching. However, since I didn't have to teach it, micro organisms are most unknown to me. I have no problem bringing literacy and math into science, but I think it would be cool to tie in more social studies (only done very little in terms of past astronomers and their findings). I was surprised to see that I have used most of the ILO's , but could always be more thorough in making sure I have covered all the expected outcomes.

I am most comfortable with the ILOs under standard 1 - the moon and standard 4 - the universe, because those were the units I was in charge of this year. I hope to gain more understanding of the other units as we switch around this year.

I feel like anytime you can cover two things at the same time you and your students benefit. I am new to the fifth grade core and am unsure of which standards I am most comfortable teaching. Including the ILOs in my lessons comes petty easily because of the way they are aligned. Wen I taught sixth grade I felt like teaching seasons was the most difficult for me. The students misconceptions about the seasons probably hindered my students learning. Being aware of their misconceptions can definitely help me teach them more effectively.

I really didn't think about the ILOs as I was frantically trying to learn about magnetism. I think I want to focus more on writing or demonstrating conclusions when they are done collecting data using the scientific terms we learned.

It helps me feel like I don't have to work double. In fact, a lot of the ILOS are even aligned with the Common Core ELA standards. It is difficult to teach all of the core in a whole year. I think I struggle alot with pacing. My weakest standard is physics- i just squish it at the end and the students never score very well on that section. I really need to focus on how to merge independent learning along with some better lesson plans to make it more engaging and focused on the misconceptions.

It's good to look at the ILOs again and see that my lessons incorporate what is intended for the students to learn. The ILOs can be incorporated through modeling: demonstrate, pose questions, predict, compare, etc.

I could do more with incorporating math and not just literacy skills.

Also having them accept and use scientific evidence to help resolve ecological problems was new to me.

I also was surprised to see that I had taught more of the ILO's than expected

because of my math lessons. :-) I totally missed using a chart to collect data on a

particular trait of a population. This will be very helpful for my struggling

science teacher mind.

Microorganisms. I do ok with Moon Phases/Seasons and

I am very worried about teaching The Solar System. Core

Academy has been helpful in giving me ideas and resources

to help in the areas that I am worried about.

to all subject areas
