Personalized Learning Check-in by Courtney Cruz https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj What are you most excited about for your Personalized Learning Experience? Describe 1 way you have been active in working towards your learning goal. en-us 2021-04-19 17:37:39 UTC 2021-04-21 20:49:25 UTC hello@padlet.com Courtney Cruz ccruz31 https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1434368868 I am excited to find ways to help create a more prosocial classroom. This week I have read one article on ways to promote positive behaviors in the classroom. I loved the idea about including a happiness board in the classroom. You would have students add pictures of their dreams/goals and people that inspire them. This can be done individually. As the teacher, I would create one for an example. It might even be great to have a combined Happiness board for the whole class. You can add to it throughout the year. ]]> 2021-04-19 17:40:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1434368868 Nikki Malkovits nlmalkovits1 https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1434545854 I am most excited about finding ways to take mistakes that happen in the classroom and value them as learning opportunities. This week i took the time to research different articles on ways that teachers have taken mistakes in their classroom and used those mistakes to encourage students to work harder, instead of letting that mistake defeat the students. This article shows different ways that teachers can embrace those mistakes by providing immediate feedback, modeling that failure happens and by having strong communication between the students and teacher. These will help the students to take what they have learned and motivate them to be accountable for their learning process. ]]> 2021-04-19 18:13:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1434545854 Sara Sandora https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1434854379 I am most excited about finding ways to help manage behaviors better within the classroom to help all students have a safe learning environment. Today I started by watching a Ted Talk called 'What can we do with disruptive children?'. The video is about a teacher that works in a school where students have been taken out of the main stream classroom. She also talks about how a lot of the time those students with behavior issues make the teachers feel just like them. It also explains that it is important as a teacher to know your students and know their backgrounds so that there is a reason for the problem and the teacher can find a solution to help the student's needs. I will be active in my learning goal by trying to learn even more about my students and their situations. ]]> 2021-04-19 19:17:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1434854379 Jensen Kniska https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1434924876 I am most excited about finding ways to help with classroom and behavior management. This week I took the time to read an article about eight proactive classroom management tips. The article goes into detail about how teachers could incorporate conditions for behavior in which they are not likely to occur. It could be as simple as greeting the students at the door with a positive statement to set the tone for the day. It also acknowledges that teachers need to stay consistent with their expectations and rules. Additionally, I happened to be scrolling through social media and found a behavior management strategy that will be engaging for students. The teacher had the students earn tickets for positive behavior. They will be able to redeem those tickets at the classroom store at the end of a certain amount of time. Each of the items within the store were worth a certain amount of tickets. They could only redeem for one item at a time. I know my students in my field placement would love doing this! ]]> 2021-04-19 19:34:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1434924876 Emma VanZanten emmadvanzanten1 https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1435138590 I am most excited about finding ways to implement culture into my classroom to allow for students to learn about individuals who are similar and different than themselves. I believe that this is an important factor in increasing motivation, self-esteem, and allowing for the students to put a footprint on their own culture. This learning environment will help students feel welcomed, respected, and part of the classroom that they learn in. Today I began with a Ted Talk about bringing culture and self-identity into their own education. This is a talk about how to make our classroom, our education something for every one of our students. Using the resistance that our students are giving us and instead of suppressing that, trying to find why are they resisting the education. This Ted Talk is thinking outside of the box about education on how to find way to bring new ideas into our classroom to better help our students feel that they belong. Overall, this video is a start to my learning about creating a prosocial classroom. ]]> 2021-04-19 20:34:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1435138590 Kamryn Buckley https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1435161431 I am excited to find ways to implement positive and contagious prosocial behaviors in the classroom. This topic has grabbed my attention throughout my preclinical experience. It has been difficult to manage the students behavior when teaching students both online and in the classroom. This week I read an article that helps explain how teachers can promote prosocial behaviors in our students. I love how they suggested schools should help students develop excellent social skills by focusing on positives not punishments. Foster intrinsic motivation through genuine, concrete effort focused praise (e.g. ‘You worked hard’ rather than ‘good job’). Children are much more motivated to earn something than to have things taken away. ]]> 2021-04-19 20:42:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1435161431 Taylor Tomb tmtomb https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1435584662 I am excited to learn more behavior management strategies and how to tell which ones fits best for my students. In my field right now, the students are not allowed to unmute voluntarily. The teacher has to ask them to unmute and personally I do not think that is fair. I think that lowers the students motivation and lowers the chance of them ever wanting to participate in the future. I think the students should be able to unmute and participate and I think there are better ways to help with behaviors. This week I read an article about classroom behavior management and things you should not do. I feel like in school we learn a lot about what we should do and never really look at what we shouldn't do and why we shouldn't do it. For example, we should not ask "why did you do that?". When you ask that question to a student they are either going to give you the answer of "I don't know" or they are going to give you an answer you don't want to hear. You are setting them up for failure. Instead the article tells you to figure out what caused it and how to help such as with an ABC chart. I know that I should use an ABC chart when it comes to behaviors but I never thought about how one simple question can be setting our students up for failure and they learn nothing from it. I am excited to see what else I will learn in more articles and videos on the subject. ]]> 2021-04-20 00:03:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1435584662 Jazalyn Glenn https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1435696251 I am excited to learn more ways about how to improve both classroom management and classroom feedback. These are both things that I feel are very important in the classroom. In my opinion, there is always room for improvement in these areas. Before going into student teaching next semester, these are beneficial things to learn more about. I have read many different articles to learn more about these topics. Specifically, to touch on the topic of classroom management skills, I found an amazing article about 6 different ways to improve classroom management. The 6 recommendations listed are to establish the environment, get their attention, broadcast your plan, make class fun, look for the positive, and ask for feedback. These are all great strategies to implement in my future classroom when it comes to classroom management. I have also learned many new valuable classroom management skills from my preclinical field experience this semester. Specifically, my teacher uses a "1, 2, 3" method. When the teacher says "1", the students raise their arm in the air and hold up a 1. Then, when the teacher says "2", the students place that number 1 over their mouths. Finally, when she says "3", the students are quiet and ready to resume/begin their learning. I can't wait to learn more about my learning goals and create the product and presentation for part 2 of the PLE.]]> 2021-04-20 00:45:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1435696251 Lauren Carr https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1435743153 In the following weeks I am looking forward to learning different ways that I can promote prosocial behaviors in my future classroom. There are so many different activities and techniques that can be used, and I look forward to learning about them and accumulating a collection of methods that I can try. To start this learning, I read my first of many articles on promoting prosocial behaviors. While, this is a shorter article, if focuses on gratitude, kindness, and empathy. The article gives brief explanations why each of these attributes are important and a few ways that teachers can build the skills in their students. ]]> 2021-04-20 01:01:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1435743153 Jaime King jaimekinglynn https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1435743284 In this personalized learning experience, I am most excited to learn about being able to discover more ways to implement collaboration into the classroom. I want to discover ways to ensure that students are playing an active role in their learning process. I am also excited to learn more about emotional and self regulation. I want to be able to properly model and address it in the classroom. I want to be able to learn how to implement ways in which students feel comfortable in talking about their emotions and frustrations. I want to discover ways in which I am able to model and allow for students to properly communicate their problems and find solutions to them. Today I read a blog which discusses different strategies to ensure that educators are creating a collaborative classroom with their students. In this blog I learned different strategies that you can use in order for students to play an active role in their learning process. One of the things that stuck out to me the most was being able to compromise and listen. A lot of times, in a classroom the teacher tells the student what they need to be doing in order to learn. However, in a collaborative learning environment, the student and teacher both listen to each other and collaborate with one another about the end goal. Both the educator and the student must listen to one another and discuss ideas that will be the most effective in the students learning process. It is so important as an educator that you are making sure that you are listening to your student and their interests. Doing this will result in your student being more likely to complete their work and be motivated in the process. I cannot wait to learn more about effective strategies in order to create a collobrative classroom and ways in which I can model self/emotional regulation in the classroom. ]]> 2021-04-20 01:01:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1435743284 Brittany Arcuri blarcuri https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1438658846 As I continue to learn how to create a prosocial learning environment within the classroom, I am excited to learn more about the ways I can encourage positive relationships between students in the room. While in the classroom, I have observed students arguing with one another and not showing signs of being a good friend. This article gives ideas for way the teacher can implement positive relationships between the students in the classroom. For example, the teacher can teach problem solving and conflict resolution skills. This would be done by having students think about how actions and words can effect someone else. The teacher can give students different scenarios to work through to help with the development of this skill. The article also states that the teacher can give students opportunities to practice effective communication. For example, the teacher should model how to listen to others, taking turns in conversation, suggesting an idea, providing praise, and saying thank you and apologizing. ]]> 2021-04-20 16:06:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1438658846 Ashley Folman https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1438997298 I am excited to learn more about ways to improve choosing what accommodations work best for students to meet their academic goals. I chose to learn more about this topic because I feel that it is important that I am giving my students who need the extra help, the appropriate accommodations to do so. Throughout my field work, it has been difficult creating different accommodations for student that have some academic learning disability, along with the ones who have different ones. Finding a balance can sometimes be difficult because every student learns differently. This week I read an article on different kinds of accommodations. In the article, Accommodations in Assessment for Students with Disabilities, setting accommodation’s this is can done by reducing distractions to the student and change setting to permit physical access. Another is a response accommodation, this can be used by providing a tape recorder, spelling and grammar devices, and a word processor. These are just a couple great strategies that I have found while reading. I can’t wait to learn more about my learning goals while creating the product and presentation for Part 2 of the PLE.

One of my goals was to learn how to do authentic check ins to really learn how a student is feeling. I believe it is very important to know how a student is feeling and why they are feeling a certain way because it can impact their performance, social, and emotional being. As a teacher, it is important to do checks ins as well. I have been researching many websites and articles to find information on checks ins. One website I found gives examples of different questions teachers can ask students to get a better understanding of heir emotions as apart from a simple "How are you?". Check it out!]]> 2021-04-20 17:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1439145968 Mariah Aivazis https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1439324366 For my personalized learning experience over the next few weeks, I am most excited to learn about how to promote prosocial behaviors in the classroom and how to teach self-determination skills. This week, I have been focusing on how to promote prosocial behaviors. I have been actively working towards my learning goal by reading articles about promoting a prosocial classroom. One of the articles I read is called Making Prosocial Behavior Contagious by Ginna Giang-Myers. It discusses simple steps teachers can take to teach empathy, how to create positive social interaction, how to use positive reinforcements, and how to establish a culture of kindness and gratitude. My favorite part of this article was learning about how to keep the rules simple while establishing ethical principles in the classroom. I will be active in my learning goal by continuing to research articles, watch videos, and take notes on prosocial behavior and self-determination skills. ]]> 2021-04-20 18:10:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1439324366 Kayla Karnosh https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1439449814 I am most excited to learn more about classroom management. I feel as though I have learned about a lot of strategies so far but I'd like to learn more especially when the classroom is so diverse. What works for one student might not work for another. I think it's important to have a plethora of classroom management skills to keep things running smoothly. I have been working toward this learning goal by reading an article titled 'Effective classroom management and the development of subject-related interest'. This article discusses how children are more inclined to understand and follow the rules when they are interested in the subject matter. I can use this research in my future classroom to make sure the way I teach is more interesting and engaging for the students in order to promote good behavior and an understanding of the expectations I have for them. ]]> 2021-04-20 18:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1439449814 Alaina Kissinger amkissinger01 https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1440013476 For my personalized learning experience, I am most excited to learn about prosocial guidance in relation to how to help students stay on task by learning how to regulate their behaviors. This week, I took some time to complete a module from the Iris Center that discussed four strategies for how educators can create a prosocial classroom and assist students in becoming independent learners. The four strategies discussed are self-monitoring, self-instruction, goal-setting, and self-reinforcement. This was a fantastic module and I thoroughly enjoyed having the opportunity to complete it. By equipping students with the strategies that are listed above, we are setting them up for success while fostering classroom management strategies. ]]> 2021-04-20 21:07:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1440013476 Olivia Tanner https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1441915112 I am most excited to learn prosocial ways to manage my classroom. One of my goals for my personalized learning experience is to learn how to prevent students talking to one another while I am teaching. I chose this goal as during my lesson week, I had students who would talk to each other while I was teaching my lesson. I wanted to research different ways to could prevent that behavior without having to yell over them. I am also excited to research different strategies on how to have students communicate their emotions and needs to me. I believe that having students learn about their emotions and needs would help me communicate with my students. I have been active towards learning about my goal by reading different articles on teaching strategies. One article that I read was the article

One of the resources I looked through Sunday morning was a video about the meaning of prosocial behavior. I knew in my learning process I wanted to start with the very basics before I move onto management strategies. I have to say thought, I am most excited about learning behavioral strategies and plan ways to use them in my future classroom. I also want to include my mentor teacher in my learning process because she has amazing prosocial behavior management strategies.]]> 2021-04-21 12:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1442292933 Alexis Hughes athughes1 https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1442471574 One thing that I am excited about learning through my personalized learning is how to get students to raise their hands before shouting out an answer. The students in the classroom that I am in are always shouting out answers to the questions being asked and then the students with their hands up get so frustrated. Another thing that the students do is when the teacher calls on the students the other students shout out answers so that student that was called on just get so frustrated. I think that minimizing this is will help the teacher and the students in the classroom. The students are learning to not shout out because the teacher ignores them, and tells them if you raise your hand quietly then I might call on you. This is one article that I used for some research. It gave me some information about how to get the students to raise their hands in class, even when they are so excited to yell out the answers. ]]> 2021-04-21 13:30:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1442471574 Lauren Voland https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1442870170 I am most excited to work and learn more about prosocial behaviors and guidance and how it can affect the overall wellbeing of students and people in general. I am excited to be able to work at my own pace during this time and find my own articles to read in order to learn about prosocial guidance and behaviors. Yesterday, I started reading and taking notes on some of the articles I found. For example, I read an article based on the roles of having anxious behaviors vs the roles of having prosocial behaviors and the effects they have on academic performance. ]]> 2021-04-21 14:47:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1442870170 marialayna97 https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1442876827 I am most excited to learn about different ways to incorporate prosocial behavior in my classroom. I think it is so important for us as educators to not only teach the curriculum but to also teach these behaviors and how we should deal with them in our classroom. I found a great but simple article that talks about ways that teachers can promote and encourage prosocial behavior in our students. The article definition of prosocial behavior is, "...acting in a positive direction toward someone else" (Curletto). The article talks about building a community within our classroom and I think that it is vital that our students feel like they are safe in our classroom. By building a community within our classroom our students will feel safe and have an easier time talk to us and their peers. I also really liked that the article mentions that we should focus more on positives over punishments. Students tend to be more motivated to get something rather than getting taken away.

]]> 2021-04-21 14:48:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1442876827 I am most excited to learn how I can teach my students to turn their mistakes into learning experiences. I feel like growing up and throughout elementary school, my peers would be yelled at an dhad to flip their card to a different color and then that was it. There was no learning part in what had happened. Even now in college, we make mistakes and things happen, but it should all result in a learning experience, instead of a punishment. So far I have watched some videos on PBIS and how it would look in a classroom. PBIS is Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. I think putting the emphasis on the positive behaviors can make a more welcoming classroom environment. I think having positive reinforcement on behaviors and learning from mistakes kind of go hand-in-hand. You can't have a classroom that focuses on positive behaviors and PBIS, but yell and punish students for their mistakes. In the next few days of my plan, I will be watching videos about mistakes and teaching students about having a growth mindset. In the video below you can watch PBIS in practice in a classroom. I really enjoyed this video and what it means to have positive behavior reinforcements. kalambdin https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1442900841 2021-04-21 14:52:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1442900841 Logan Wolford https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1443272735 I am most excited to implement each prosocial guidance task into my classroom. Through research and the course I have learned new ways to implement prosocial guidance into my teaching. I have learned how much this has helped students grow compared to how elementary education was for me as a child. I did not have a good experience. Therefore, I want to help future students have a positive education. Throughout this week, I have been working on my presentation to show my personalized learning experience. I have spent time researching and designing my platform on a Google Slides. Today, I learned new ways to implement prosocial guidance and how it benefits each student.

I feel like this is one thing I really struggle with because I don't want to be the bad person or upset students. so I think if I research and find ways to do it positively I will feel more comfortable with classroom management. I feel like I do okay with classroom management but there is things I could work on and learn other ways to have good classroom management. its important I feel comfortable with this because classroom management is so important. I found this website while doing some research and I really love the different tips it gives teachers to help them with their classroom management.

The goal is to help create a safer environment for all students and to help myself come up with new plans to stay calm during certain situations and not get upset. I started researching and came across a very helpful website and it even has a Ted Talk linked to it. This will not only help me as a teacher come up with better ways to manage behavior, but also create new plans to help with behavior within the classroom. I believe the first step in this is to work with myself and how to remain calm in situations. If I can't stay calm and not get easily frustrated, how will anything get solved? It will only make the situations worse within the classroom and that is something that needs to be avoided. ]]> 2021-04-21 18:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1444048343 Madison Hurlbut https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1444169120 I have been actively talking to professionals I see at work about AIM and what it is about and their experiences with it. I like hearing from real people that I know and what stands out for them. Not interviews, but less formal. I even got to observe a AIM activity done by a BCBA with a group of 4 boys who attend a social group and are on the autism spectrum ages 9-12. I see such a specific connect between the AIM social emotional curriculum and prosocial guidance. The students all reported feeling "better" or "calm" which was even cool to see from one activity. I want to read chapters from the AIM curriculum and continue to observe and watch videos about the outcome and more professional opinions about the AIM curriculum and outcomes.

I am very passionate about students who have disabilities and how we as teachers can help them succeed. So when we were given the opportunity to pick what we wanted to learn I knew that I wanted to learn about special ed. To go off of prosocial behaviors in students who have disabilities I am excited to learn how to promote prosocial behaviors in a students who has disabilities. One way that I have been active in achieving my learning goals is finding and researching articles that pertain to this topic. One power point that I have started to read is about the intervention of Tootling which as stated about is an intervention that we can use to promote prosocial behaviors in students and especially students who have disabilities.

There are two main learning goals that I have planned for myself, one being classroom management and the other is working on classroom collaboration/engagement. Throughout this week I have been researching more on classroom management through prosocial guidance on both NAEYC and ISTE websites. There are several articles that focus on classroom management and the flow of transitions, especially when the lesson or activity does not go how you plan. I am excited to share my learning goals and excited to work on them to better myself as an educator. ]]> 2021-04-21 20:02:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1444409910 Alison Deagan https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1444497969 As I work on experience I am most excited to learn about how to learn how to manage my classroom and how to teach my students to not shout out in the classroom when they have something to say. In my placement this can be a real problem since I am with kindergarteners and all any of them ever want to do is talk so sometimes the classroom can get really loud when everyone is trying to talk. I am excited to learn different tips and tricks to teach my students and have for future classrooms that I am in so that I can manage the behaviors in my classroom. an article that I found while doing some of my research is linked below. this article has different "secrets" for teachers on how to stop students from shouting out in the classroom. ]]> 2021-04-21 20:30:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1444497969 Kate Easterday https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1444530752 I am really excited to work on my Personalized Learning Experience the next few weeks, mostly because I am looking forward to having a better understanding of how to implement prosocial guidance within the classroom. While I have read about it before, I am looking forward to having a deeper understanding and having a plan and materials that I can use within my classroom to foster a positive and inclusive environment for all of my students. I have started my research already and I have begun taking notes. I feel like I will have a lot of notes by the time I am done with my research and will have to cut things out and weight what I find is most important to me and what I feel most strongly about implementing. One thing that I found very interesting today was from this website: https://notjustcute.com/2009/09/29/what-is-positive-guidance/
In the article, the author proposed a very relatable example of why prosocial guidance is important. She used the example of offering $50 to someone to do 10 push ups. They might try it, or they might be able to do it, but that experience doesn't motivate them or teach them how to adopt a healthy lifestyle. When using prosocial guidance, you want to teach students how to do something and guide them to understand the importance of that so they adopt the behavior or routine into their everyday life. I thought that was super relatable and one of my favorite things I found so far! :)]]> 2021-04-21 20:41:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ccruz31/lsnp7zedsso64hfj/wish/1444530752
