I am going to focus on Element #8 - Use Clear and Concise Language because I know I have a tendency to talk too much in class.  Sometimes I keep explaining, even after the students know what to do.  ]]> 2021-03-02 14:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ebreines/4psxipm9wum7fd2f/wish/1258449044 https://padlet.com/ebreines/4psxipm9wum7fd2f/wish/1265695806 I am going to focus on Element #8, Use Clear and Concise Language. I work with a student who is totally blind and any visual information needs to be provided to him succinctly so that I'm not detracting from the rest of the lesson in class. I need to work on keeping the explanation brief when a lengthy summary is not necessary.]]> 2021-03-03 19:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ebreines/4psxipm9wum7fd2f/wish/1265695806 https://padlet.com/ebreines/4psxipm9wum7fd2f/wish/1265696716 I will focus on element 15 .i need to be sure that students are organized and have access to needed prior knowledge.]]> 2021-03-03 19:32:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ebreines/4psxipm9wum7fd2f/wish/1265696716 https://padlet.com/ebreines/4psxipm9wum7fd2f/wish/1265696971 I am going to focus on Element #11 - Require frequent responses.

As teachers we have many things to cover with kids. I'd like to deliver my lessons in a more brisk, yet still effective way so I have more time to work on other areas that need to be covered. ]]> 2021-03-03 19:32:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ebreines/4psxipm9wum7fd2f/wish/1265697044 https://padlet.com/ebreines/4psxipm9wum7fd2f/wish/1265697075 I am going to work on # 14- Deliver the lesson at a brisk pace.

There are so many distractions for students during remote learning and the flow of the lesson is easily disrupted.]]> 2021-03-03 19:32:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ebreines/4psxipm9wum7fd2f/wish/1265697566 https://padlet.com/ebreines/4psxipm9wum7fd2f/wish/1265697786 2021-03-03 19:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ebreines/4psxipm9wum7fd2f/wish/1265697786 https://padlet.com/ebreines/4psxipm9wum7fd2f/wish/1265698507 I teach math and it is very challenging to deal with prerequisite skills when lessons have to be paced ]]> 2021-03-03 19:32:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ebreines/4psxipm9wum7fd2f/wish/1265698507 https://padlet.com/ebreines/4psxipm9wum7fd2f/wish/1265698729 I am going to focus on Element #15- Help students organize their knowledge.

I find that in the short 30 minutes I have A WEEK with my classes that it's challenging to keep the ENTIRE group moving forward together, while I am attempting to hold PE Class Live with both students remote, as well as those in person.]]> 2021-03-03 19:32:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ebreines/4psxipm9wum7fd2f/wish/1265699009 https://padlet.com/ebreines/4psxipm9wum7fd2f/wish/1265699380 I am going to focus on Element 14: Working at a brisk pace.

I choose this area because I find that at this time of the year monitoring student performance challenging because their productivity is low - pulling work, giving feedback and conferencing with kids and parents...whew!!!
