THINK about Language by Aris Winger https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj Where do we struggle with language in the classroom? Have we said something we shouldn't have? Where have we slipped up? en-us 2023-05-17 13:44:05 UTC 2023-05-17 18:04:42 UTC hello@padlet.com Let's start with an easy example. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595067403 2023-05-17 17:37:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595067403 It clearly follows... https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595067543 2023-05-17 17:37:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595067543 when students ask me the same thing again that I just finished explaining for 10 minutes. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595068078 2023-05-17 17:38:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595068078 Calling things easy or simple https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595068231 2023-05-17 17:38:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595068231 Listing the behavior patterns we talked about earlier without coming across as negative or parental or just a bummer https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595068742 2023-05-17 17:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595068742 I'm pretty good at writing down my thoughts but not good at vocalizing my thoughts https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595068800 2023-05-17 17:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595068800 Remembering that some language I'm okay with isn't necessarily okay with all students. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595068908 2023-05-17 17:38:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595068908 Sometimes it is hard for me to give honest feedback because it feels too harsh https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595069110 2023-05-17 17:39:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595069110 When do we just tell and class this is not good enough? Or is this going to hurt some people. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595069366 2023-05-17 17:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595069366 Reacting in a productive appropriate way to student responses that are way off. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595069410 2023-05-17 17:39:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595069410 You "should" have seen/known this stuff before, right? https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595069592 2023-05-17 17:39:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595069592 "We will do a really easy example we can start with." https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595069979 2023-05-17 17:39:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595069979 "Recall, ...." https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595070721 2023-05-17 17:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595070721 https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595070781 When a student makes a mistake, I'm not confident that they'll believe me when I thank them for it. I know their mistake does not define them, and it helps me make instructional decisions, but they may feel differently. They may assume that I really feel about their mistakes the same way they do.]]> 2023-05-17 17:40:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595070781 In reacting to a long silence after "are there any questions" I repeated a phrase one of my professors used to use "silence is consent". This phrase did not age well from the early 1990s. I don't use this anymore! https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595071235 2023-05-17 17:40:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595071235 Not using the words "easy" or "simple" or "just algebra". https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595071259 2023-05-17 17:40:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/ik40qqwb1jwfeaoj/wish/2595071259 Just assuming student have seen previous material.
