How might I use CRT in my classroom? 
I think first and foremost I will use it as a way to get to know my students. I always remember the teachers that took the time to know me and were open and honest with me about themselves. ex. Andrea Ramstad. I want to have this kind of openness with my students and using that in my class is something that is really important to me. So that's one major thing I would do. I also would work to gamify my lessons to better engage my students! I'm not sure how to do this yet but keeping students engaged by making things fun is always really important. ]]> 2019-02-06 15:06:43 UTC https://padlet.com/gdosdall_g/hh574sk4zuof/wish/328285911 Four Ss gdosdall_g https://padlet.com/gdosdall_g/hh574sk4zuof/wish/328286646 1. Safety
2. Skill
3. Success
4. Standards]]> 2019-02-06 15:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/gdosdall_g/hh574sk4zuof/wish/328286646 Choice Theory gdosdall_g https://padlet.com/gdosdall_g/hh574sk4zuof/wish/328287330 - Based on the notion that behavior is determined by choices, and does not have to be controlled by external factors
Elements of Choice Theory
- Basic Needs: Survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, fun
- Quality World: People, activities, beliefs
- Reality and Perception: People act upon things that they perceive as real
- Comparing Place: create a match between what people believe and what they want
- Total Behavior
Goals
- develop relationships
- make informed choices -- self evaluation
- taking control over thoughts and actions 
- planning for change

Some things that I took away from this class period was of course, the basics like how to use google classroom and the expectations for the class. I also learned what the 4 Ss are (Safety, Skill, Success, and Standards). The TEDTalk we watched was really cool. It really stuck out to me when she said "you don't have to like all of your students, but they can never know that." ]]> 2019-02-06 15:13:15 UTC https://padlet.com/gdosdall_g/hh574sk4zuof/wish/328290058 Icebreakers gdosdall_g https://padlet.com/gdosdall_g/hh574sk4zuof/wish/328290421 Today was really fun because we just got to bring in icebreakers that we found and we got to do them with the class. It was fun, of course, but also it was really beneficial because we got to perform as educators and then get feedback from our classmates and that's really helpful. 
Some Take-Aways
- Icebreakers
   - Have prompts up on the board (spark ideas).
   - Don't assume that the students know anything.
   - Don't have an icebreaker with eliminations.]]> 2019-02-06 15:13:42 UTC https://padlet.com/gdosdall_g/hh574sk4zuof/wish/328290421 First Day Agenda gdosdall_g https://padlet.com/gdosdall_g/hh574sk4zuof/wish/328290594 First Day of Class Agenda -- Today we talked about how to plan a first day of class. Something that stuck out to me was about coming up with a seating chart. I was always pretty against a seating chart because I think it's constricting and I know students don't like it. However, we talked about how a seating chart can be important for a new teacher when dealing with classroom management. It will also help me learn names and I don't need it forever.

Some of my peers thought that doing this activity with their students wouldn't be a good idea and I disagree, I think this activity would be super important to do with my class. I could change it a little to tailor to younger students but I still think it's important.]]> 2019-02-06 15:14:17 UTC https://padlet.com/gdosdall_g/hh574sk4zuof/wish/328290860 Classroom Management gdosdall_g https://padlet.com/gdosdall_g/hh574sk4zuof/wish/328291159 Classroom Management -- Over the last two class periods we talked about classroom management which was something that I was really looking forward to learning about because when I think about teaching Classroom Management is what scares me the most. I can know and learn the content but managing a classroom is difficult and requires a lot of multi-tasking. We talked specifically about classroom expectations and misbehaviors and how to deal with them. Something that stuck out to me was the levels of misbehavior and how to deal with that. Also the progression of dealing with misbehaviors, I found very interesting and helpful. ]]> 2019-02-06 15:14:47 UTC https://padlet.com/gdosdall_g/hh574sk4zuof/wish/328291159 Critical Moments/Choice Theory gdosdall_g https://padlet.com/gdosdall_g/hh574sk4zuof/wish/328298286 2019-02-06 15:25:24 UTC https://padlet.com/gdosdall_g/hh574sk4zuof/wish/328298286 Day 1 gdosdall_g https://padlet.com/gdosdall_g/hh574sk4zuof/wish/329881118 ISTE: International Society for Technology in Education

This means that 80% of the class period should be the students doing something and only 20% should be the teacher talking and explaining. 
I had never thought about this before because I don't know if I have ever been in a classroom like this before (other than this one)

- The best score in the class becomes the new 100%
- Bell Curve
- Good or Bad
   - Can become a competition
   - Depends on class climate
- Growth vs. Proficiency
   - Want both, but ultimately proficiency

Norm Referenced
- Grading on a curve
- Depends on the performance of others and can change what the teacher expects students to know
- Goal for learning is a moving target
- Best students get the best grade and the poorest students get the lowest grade, but no one knows what they learned
- Not good for classes less than 100
- Pits students against each other
- Grades don't reflect learning
Curving isn't always bad
- when comparing students of high quality
