Progressivism and Flipped Classrooms jmasters20 https://padlet.com/rmlegrande1/iauyg26lf7mjg28/wish/2210689078 I read about flipped classrooms in my book circle book, "The One World School House" By Salman Khan. He discusses how teachers started using his videos for student's to view at home which freed up time in the classroom for teachers to engage their students with active learning assignments. They essentially flipped the classroom. A big component of progressivist teaching is project based learning (Perez, 2022). By flipping the classroom it enables the teacher to utilize classroom time for projects. This type of "active learning creates more durable neural pathways than passive learning" (Khan, 2012, p. 116). This will help my students retain more of what they learn in my classroom.

One example I would like to use in my future classroom is for my students to watch Khan videos for their math lessons
as homework. They will then spend classroom time on project based math learning, such as having the kids all work in groups to create board games that utilize the math concepts they are learning about. Once all the groups have created their board games the students will teach the other groups how to play their game. The end result will be the groups playing each other's games. This will help the students apply the math concepts while being creative and having fun, also!!

Behaviorism and TAGteach jmasters20 https://padlet.com/rmlegrande1/iauyg26lf7mjg28/wish/2210706463 I find the philosophy of behaviorism a useful one for creating classroom management policies. In regards to teachers, Perez (2022) wrote, "It is his or her role to ensure that the classroom is properly managed in order to ensure that student learning can take place" (Chapter 7, Teacher's role section). I believe that student's learn from knowing what their expectations are and being given the choice to follow them. Of course choices come with consequences, but I like my learners to shape their choices because they like the positive consequences (reinforcements) of doing the right thing. I found an organization called TAGteach International (https://www.tagteach.com/What_is_TAGteach) that utilizes tag points to mark a behavior/learning success that you like and want the student to continue. The tag point gives "immediate and clear feedback to the learner" through the use of a "tagger" that marks "a correct response with a short sharp sound" (https://www.tagteach.com/What_is_TAGteach). This way a teacher can be a tagger instead of a nagger!

One example for using TAGteach in my future classroom is for  classroom management. I will set up my expectations for classroom behavior. The goal will be to teach the kids that I look for good classroom behaviors to tag. The kids will know which behaviors these are, such as raising your hand. I will give the kid's name and then mark the good behavior with a tag. I will give their name so they know who got the tag.  I will have clear containers for each kid set up. I will drop a plastic penny into the container for each tag received. The kids will have the choice to exchange their tag for a reward each day, such as a couple of pieces of candy, or to save up their tags for a bigger reward, such as a book. Peer modeling will help teach the kids that struggle with behavior issues that positive reinforcements  are possible when expectations are met. I also like the idea of using peer tagging to help teach kids to concentrate on the positive behaviors in their peers. Concentrating on the positive will help to shape proper classroom behaviors, while also working to teach a positive and accepting classroom environment for my students. This can help create a positive engaged learning mindset for my students, as well.

Social Reconstructionism and Humane Education jmasters20 https://padlet.com/rmlegrande1/iauyg26lf7mjg28/wish/2210720096 Description:
Social reconstructionism is an educational philosophy that encourages students to be agents of change to help make society better for all (Perez, 2022). Humane education is a form of pedagogy that  teaches the interconnection between people, animals, and nature. The primary focus is on teaching people about human rights, animal protection, and environmental sustainability (humaneeducation.org). This type of education encourages students to think critically to create ethical solutions for different problems in society. Zoe Weil one of the founders of the Institute for Humane Education uses the term solutionaries. She says that solutionaries solve problems by identifying "all who are impacted by the problem and the systems that perpetuate it. This includes all people, other species, and the environment. Once they understand the systems that create and support the problem, they devise a solutionary solution" (humane education.org).

Example:
An example for how I plan to use it in my future classroom is to have humane education learning sessions. Throughout the school year we will learn about the three components of humane education and how it is all interconnected. We will read books that center around these topics and then I will have them break out into different groups to work on  learning projects based on the different books. Once they are done with their project they will teach the other groups about what they learned.  I will then encourage the students to decide what causes they are interested in supporting as a classroom, such as doing a fund raiser for an organization that is in need in the community, such as for a homeless shelter or a humane society.

Through this philosophy, students use hands on, collaborative processes, in an attempt to use practical approaches to solve and explain real life problems and experiences. Because of this approach, progressivism tends to be community-centered, aims to improve society, and puts an emphasis on action and growth. Example: An example of what progressivism would look like in my classroom would be an abundance of guest speakers and field trips. By allowing my students to connect with real life situations and people, it will create a more meaningful connection, and thus promote a deeper understanding and memory of the information being taught. Additionally, using such tangible examples provides students with direct connections to their community. Being able to introduce those experiences and relationships at an early age (elementary school) enhances the level of care and attentiveness to their immediate world.

Essentially, building relationships with students should be a primary goal in order to promote engagement, positive interactions with school, and deeper understanding of material. If a teacher knows their student on a personal level and feels genuine care for that child, the teacher should be able to cater their lessons and interactions to best support that student. Example: At the end of the day, I have a hand in ensuring that children feel loved, are cared for, respected, and given an opportunity to grow. In my classroom, I will prioritize remembering and following up on the personal things that students tell me (i.e. asking how weekend plans went, following up with familial comments, remembering important events). Another value that I have is respecting students’ time: creating ample in class time to learn the lessons, ask questions, and complete work, so that after school hours remain personal time. By allowing them to have that time, they have opportunities to explore interests and passions that we might not get a chance to touch on at school. Also, spending time at the beginning of the year trying new strategies and learning techniques to see which students respond best to which ones, so that moving forward I can best accommodate their educational style. ]]> 2022-06-06 02:48:22 UTC https://padlet.com/rmlegrande1/iauyg26lf7mjg28/wish/2211700766 Application for the Future: Recognizing Diversity and Bias rmlegrande1 https://padlet.com/rmlegrande1/iauyg26lf7mjg28/wish/2211701890  Description: My book circle read was “Boarding School Seasons” by Brenda J Child, and the focus of the research was on different examples of emotional and cultural impacts that indigenous children, their families, and communities saw throughout the government boarding school assimilation years. This book aligns closely with the importance of recognizing diverse classrooms, as well as the importance of a school’s role in respecting and celebrating that diversity. In addition to that, it highlights a connection with the criticality of recognizing bias and following the code regarding ethical conduct towards students and parents/community. Example: Each and every day, I have a huge responsibility in creating a safe and equitable learning environment. Although this future application may not always be in the form of a craft, project, or presentation, it is a constant work in progress. To even attempt to create that equitable classroom, education on my part (becoming familiar with different backgrounds, cultures, traditions, languages, identities, etc.) and recognizing my own biases and privileges, will be critical. Through that education it will be possible for me to role model the acceptance and understanding that we desire people to have and embody the civic virtues such as respect for human life, respect for others, and respect for self. Teaching in a manner that is just, without bias, and protects students from situations that are a detriment to safety and learning has an impact on not only my students, but also their families. Another way that I can apply this in a classroom is remembering to step back when I am not the expert – there will be plenty of opportunities in which students can take ownership of teaching their peers, and myself, about something.  Resources: Coffee Talk #2: Dr. Goodson & Privilege Boarding School Seasons; Brenda J Child Perez, D.
