This approach can have a positive impact on teaching instruction and student outcomes. "Systemic (SBG) changes made teaching clearer, more purposeful, and more conducive to student needs while enhancing student growth mind-set and ownership" (Knight & Cooper, 2019, p. 65).]]> 2022-02-11 20:32:16 UTC https://padlet.com/robinsok10/kla4fyj3d45il7b2/wish/2043145420 robinsok10 https://padlet.com/robinsok10/kla4fyj3d45il7b2/wish/2043146568 How can standards-based grading improve instruction?

Mindfulness is a huge preventative measure from teacher burnout and increases student success in later years (Mindful Schools, 2022). This is becoming increasingly important as teachers job expectations are stretched further.

Intentional teaching of problem solving is crucial to developing the next generation of critical thinkers. It is important to practice getting "stuck" and "unstuck" on different ideas and practicing thinking outside the box. We should be normalizing overcoming hard things and teaching students that they can do it too.

Paying attention to how we think helps us become more self aware. It also "helps children “make greater sense of their life experiences and start achieving at higher levels" (Price-Mitchell, 2015, as citied in Kiedaisch, 2018, para. 3) ]]> 2022-02-11 20:56:17 UTC https://padlet.com/robinsok10/kla4fyj3d45il7b2/wish/2043171229 robinsok10 https://padlet.com/robinsok10/kla4fyj3d45il7b2/wish/2043172489 What are the five key thinking practices that metacognition involves?

"It’s important to note that PBL can work for all students; it should not be reserved for those who have higher skill levels or who are fluent English speakers” (Project-Based Learning in Social Studies, 2018, p.23). Working with my special-needs learners, this is important to remember that I can also be incorporating PBL for my students. ]]> 2022-02-11 21:11:34 UTC https://padlet.com/robinsok10/kla4fyj3d45il7b2/wish/2043185188 robinsok10 https://padlet.com/robinsok10/kla4fyj3d45il7b2/wish/2043186297 What is an example of how project-based learning (PBL) can be utilized in social studies?

Problem-based learning is “a student-centered approach in which students learn about a subject by working in groups to solve an open-ended problem” (Cornell University,2010, para. 1). It is student-driven and flexible. Teachers allow students to showcase learning and solve problems in their own way. ]]> 2022-02-11 21:16:31 UTC https://padlet.com/robinsok10/kla4fyj3d45il7b2/wish/2043189442 robinsok10 https://padlet.com/robinsok10/kla4fyj3d45il7b2/wish/2043190597 Why should we use Problem-Based Learning?]]> 2022-02-11 21:17:47 UTC https://padlet.com/robinsok10/kla4fyj3d45il7b2/wish/2043190597 robinsok10 https://padlet.com/robinsok10/kla4fyj3d45il7b2/wish/2043199978 The ten concepts that were highlighted in this assignment all tie into our program’s essential question: In light of what is known about how children learn, how shall professional educators best promote resilience and recovery for the children and their families who have experienced traumatic events?

Framing our teaching and learning around competency, projects, standards, and placing emphasis on problem solving skills all promote resilience and hold high standards for success for students and families who have experienced trauma. It is important to continue to provide opportunities that promote learning and are not focused on defining individuals based on their trauma. By also instilling mindfulness techniques along the way, these concepts share the overall goal in mind to help individuals reach their fullest potential, regardless of circumstances. ]]> 2022-02-11 21:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/robinsok10/kla4fyj3d45il7b2/wish/2043199978 robinsok10 https://padlet.com/robinsok10/kla4fyj3d45il7b2/wish/2043203510 2022-02-11 21:32:33 UTC https://padlet.com/robinsok10/kla4fyj3d45il7b2/wish/2043203510 robinsok10 https://padlet.com/robinsok10/kla4fyj3d45il7b2/wish/2043224246 2022-02-11 21:58:28 UTC https://padlet.com/robinsok10/kla4fyj3d45il7b2/wish/2043224246
