What is one major understanding or idea that you recall from our last class session? by The Globe Consortium https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58 en-us 2021-10-13 15:18:00 UTC 2026-01-29 17:24:25 UTC hello@padlet.com (1) Major understanding/idea from last class... tiffmcdonnell88 https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821019712 Your article of "Honoring All Learners: The Case For..." I have always thought of this method/idea but never knew how to verbalize and or if it was even an accepted idea/method in modern education. The idea of 'readiness level' and that all students are capable of accomplishing all things just at different times, is a view I wholeheartedly accept. DI feels very natural and accepting. In my opinion most classes, if not all should be oriented to this instruction method. I conclude with Carol Tomlinson's definition of 'readiness level,' "students at a given moment in time, maybe more or less able to succeed at a certain task than their peers, but who are nevertheless capable of eventually attaining sufficient skill or knowledge to meet whatever standard or benchmark at issue" ( Eng Education V 49 N. 1 Oct. 2016). ]]> 2021-10-16 11:52:41 UTC https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821019712 Student Engagement katelynparkinson13 https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821021447 I recall the difference between engagement and strategic/ritual compliance. This is something that really helped me when observing my own students and other classes. It has pushed me to further examine how my students are within my classroom and dig to find out if they are truly engaged or only complying. ]]> 2021-10-16 11:55:25 UTC https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821021447 Major Question katelynparkinson13 https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821022226 How can I improve my curriculum to better reach all level of students?]]> 2021-10-16 11:56:32 UTC https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821022226 Question https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821025780 How can I make my lessons engaging to all students so that they are genuinely engaged instead of completing the assignment for the sake of completing the assignment for a grade]]> 2021-10-16 12:01:07 UTC https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821025780 Major Question gferreir https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821026093 I would love an example or two of how people have selected a text based on standards rather than selecting standards to fit a text. ]]> 2021-10-16 12:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821026093 Major Understanding-Self Examination https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821026778 One of the biggest takeaways from last class is that when a student rebels, it's always necessary to self-examine and ask yourself, "Am I causing this?"]]> 2021-10-16 12:02:42 UTC https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821026778 Maybe more of a fear.... tiffmcdonnell88 https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821027066 How do (I) Teach a love of reading without getting fired?! ]]> 2021-10-16 12:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821027066 How can I make my lessons engaging for my students so that they will be excited to learn and come to my class? https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821027440 2021-10-16 12:03:44 UTC https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821027440 How can I effectively differentiate my teaching to accommodate different learning levels and needs with the limited time and bandwidth I have to do so? https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821027654 2021-10-16 12:04:05 UTC https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821027654 kduggan7 https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821027893 The importance of fostering a genuine interest in/love for reading!]]> 2021-10-16 12:04:30 UTC https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821027893 How can I structure group work in English class? kduggan7 https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821028115 2021-10-16 12:04:48 UTC https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821028115 I remember the socratic circles! https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821028177 2021-10-16 12:04:54 UTC https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821028177 Social Constructivism https://padlet.com/theglobeconsortium/mjo9rcdztzbdxg58/wish/1821028267 Knowledge is not "copied" or "transferred" from teacher to student, it is negotiated between all members of the community of learning.
