Shifts in Classroom Practice by Lindsey Smith https://padlet.com/lsmith624/c4bo5htniu4exltv Select one of the shifts to add your thoughts from the following prompt: Why does this shift matter? What would the specific implications be if this shift remained on the left side of the continuum? What would the consequences to student learning be? en-us 2020-08-25 19:17:03 UTC 2020-12-14 19:55:24 UTC hello@padlet.com The implications of this shift remaining on the left are that students would care more about "correct answers" than thinking or learning. They would be more hesitant to share in class. They would not see mistakes as something to learn we all can from. And many would come to think of math as something that they are not good at. They'd give up trying and give up engaging. lsmith624 https://padlet.com/lsmith624/c4bo5htniu4exltv/wish/1016786863 2020-12-14 16:56:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lsmith624/c4bo5htniu4exltv/wish/1016786863 melanielane https://padlet.com/lsmith624/c4bo5htniu4exltv/wish/1017663881 In order to solve a problem, you first must truly understand what the problem is and what it is not. So, if students can understand what the problem is asking they are more likely to reach a correct solution. If they stay on the left side and never understand the problem, they will never arrive at a solution and if they are given a solution it will not make sense. -Lane]]> 2020-12-14 19:51:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lsmith624/c4bo5htniu4exltv/wish/1017663881 If this shift remained to the left, student would try to memorize steps instead of using reasoning strategies to solve problems. If they encounter something they've never seen before, they would be more likely to give up because no one has told them the steps of how to solve the problem. They would no longer rely on their own ideas. -Domino mdomino5 https://padlet.com/lsmith624/c4bo5htniu4exltv/wish/1017667419 2020-12-14 19:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lsmith624/c4bo5htniu4exltv/wish/1017667419 Feltham https://padlet.com/lsmith624/c4bo5htniu4exltv/wish/1017668198 We are not training students to be memorizers. We want them to think about thier prior knowledge/experiences and apply that to the Math. Then we compare what we have done to help us learn and understand the concept better than a teacher telling us how to do it.]]> 2020-12-14 19:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lsmith624/c4bo5htniu4exltv/wish/1017668198 The risk is that students are not doing the thinking and if our vision is to build problem solvers, we are not allowing for that to happen. Students need to compare and make sense of their reasoning. They are not making connections. - DiCenzo https://padlet.com/lsmith624/c4bo5htniu4exltv/wish/1017668419 2020-12-14 19:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lsmith624/c4bo5htniu4exltv/wish/1017668419 Scholars may not have a deep understanding of what the learning goal/targets are and be able to talk about and explain where they are in terms of mastering that goal which has become something we are striving for in sbg schools caitlincronin https://padlet.com/lsmith624/c4bo5htniu4exltv/wish/1017669351 Cronin]]> 2020-12-14 19:53:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lsmith624/c4bo5htniu4exltv/wish/1017669351 Baker https://padlet.com/lsmith624/c4bo5htniu4exltv/wish/1017669368 If the shift remained to the left scholars would remain at a rote memorization and not digging deeper in to the why or how a problem worked. Scholars will only be able to do the task in a certain setting and not be able to transfer it to real world experiences. ]]> 2020-12-14 19:53:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lsmith624/c4bo5htniu4exltv/wish/1017669368 Replicating procedures does not promote problem solving and promotes memorization of a process rather than understanding the reasoning for the process and being able to effectively select a problem solving strategy. Doing so can "pigeon hole" scholars into using strategies that are not most effective and efficient for solving problems due to a lack of understanding of why they chose a strategy. chelseasenge https://padlet.com/lsmith624/c4bo5htniu4exltv/wish/1017669478 Senge]]> 2020-12-14 19:53:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lsmith624/c4bo5htniu4exltv/wish/1017669478
