I've been working for more than 10 years and over the years I've been changing my practice a lot. I find profesional development very imporatant for every teacher but even more impotrant is the question of hoe do you use that knowledge in the classroom.]]> 2017-10-24 19:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/dpavicicst/dnsfk62u8pmx/wish/200183206 dpavicicst https://padlet.com/dpavicicst/dnsfk62u8pmx/wish/200186586 I found this course an excellent way to improve my teaching practice. I can already see that it will be great for me and my students. Trying out mew teaching methods has always been in the fokus of my profesional development. It means that I'm always looking for new ways to meet students needs and interets. ]]> 2017-10-24 19:50:28 UTC https://padlet.com/dpavicicst/dnsfk62u8pmx/wish/200186586 dpavicicst https://padlet.com/dpavicicst/dnsfk62u8pmx/wish/201022525 The core of my teaching is that I'm always trying to make it interesting and useful for my students. That's why I often integrate my lessons- bringing all lessons together in one meaningful whole.  Children often work in pairs and groups because I think it's one of the most important skill that they should learn. Outdoor education is also something I found very important so I use it as much as possible. Teaching children to express their opinion, planinng, working and evaluating together with children are also part of my teaching.]]> 2017-10-26 20:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/dpavicicst/dnsfk62u8pmx/wish/201022525 dpavicicst https://padlet.com/dpavicicst/dnsfk62u8pmx/wish/201025046 Door to my (or better to my and my students) classroom are always open to everyone who want to learn with us and who help us learn. That means I invite parents and professionals (other teacher, scientiest, etc.) We also visit places where we learn such as museums, gallaries etc.]]> 2017-10-26 20:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/dpavicicst/dnsfk62u8pmx/wish/201025046 dpavicicst https://padlet.com/dpavicicst/dnsfk62u8pmx/wish/201493040 2017-10-29 14:12:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dpavicicst/dnsfk62u8pmx/wish/201493040 dpavicicst https://padlet.com/dpavicicst/dnsfk62u8pmx/wish/202712123 Even though I don't have the support or interest of my colleagues at some of my teaching methods or strategies, I really don't care! I'm not giving up on projects, on no tests, on outdoor education, on professional development.... I know I am on the right track. My students are the proof although the colleagues that teach them after me won't edmitt it]]> 2017-11-01 20:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dpavicicst/dnsfk62u8pmx/wish/202712123 dpavicicst https://padlet.com/dpavicicst/dnsfk62u8pmx/wish/202974619 For some time I've been having big doubts about the traditional learning system. I've been trying to acept modern ways. They need to be acepted by many teachers in Croatia. Wether if it's a project (which I already do in my class) or PBL (which I will adopt) I don't expect the understanding or collaboration from my colleagues or the principal at school where I work. But it doesn't really matter to me. The most important question for me right now is how to adopt and do 'full time' PBL with young student, age 6,7. How to intruduce it to them in more motiveting and engeging way.]]> 2017-11-02 15:48:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dpavicicst/dnsfk62u8pmx/wish/202974619 dpavicicst https://padlet.com/dpavicicst/dnsfk62u8pmx/wish/202977442 Instead of worring about the content we should be worring about the outcomes. This will get my student to take initiative which is my main wish. The most challenging component will be the core to listen because my student are young. But still all 5 of componets are very important and I need to work on all of them.]]> 2017-11-02 15:53:01 UTC https://padlet.com/dpavicicst/dnsfk62u8pmx/wish/202977442 dpavicicst https://padlet.com/dpavicicst/dnsfk62u8pmx/wish/202979813 Relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.

I do not follow that. I grade my students in project forms, in a way that they can really use the knowledge not simply reproduce it and then just forget about it. My colleagues don't understand why I' m grading my students like this. So it all comes down to the fact that it's possible to do different type of grading you just need some common sense and a will to change. For better- for students, for future!]]> 2017-11-08 14:38:15 UTC https://padlet.com/dpavicicst/dnsfk62u8pmx/wish/204828478 dpavicicst https://padlet.com/dpavicicst/dnsfk62u8pmx/wish/205823791 This course introduce to me a great way pf a peer assessment beetwen teachers. Rewieving our lessons among us is a great pressefional development which I tried to put in my school among my colleguages. You guess it, no success! When it comes to students assements, I like correcting test together with children and disscus every grade with them.
