https://padlet.com/bknaus/csp580_554_week4 Think about your time in elementary school or middle school. Take what you know about curriculum and share a memory that sticks in your head. What is something that a teacher did that impacted you, that you now have curricular understanding of. I've give you my example as this is a bit of a tricky question en-us 2017-11-15 21:06:38 UTC 2017-11-15 23:16:12 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.storage.googleapis.com/portrait/weigh.jpg https://padlet.com/bknaus/csp580_554_week4/wish/207472844 We had a middle school teacher who use to rip up papers if a student didn't show their work for math.  I'm now a math teacher who requires students to show work because the work demonstrates full understanding of the processes.  It also helps the teacher find where and why students are making mistakes.

The most advanced tasks were broken down into digestible bites and built upon. Even though in a 6th grade math classroom there were varying levels of ability he made everyone come to the realization that you could do it, regardless of your ability and always challenged those that could handle more. The relationship being built was probably the most important however. ]]> 2017-11-15 23:11:00 UTC https://padlet.com/bknaus/csp580_554_week4/wish/207472863 https://padlet.com/bknaus/csp580_554_week4/wish/207472873 My fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Wagner, was my favorite teacher. We did lit circles in her class and she asked us questions about the book. Back then I thought we were just talking about the book for fun because she made it so fun, but now I know she was following a curriculum. She even sometimes had her teacher book in her lap... Maybe that wasn't the best... But she'll always have a special place in my heart. ]]> 2017-11-15 23:11:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bknaus/csp580_554_week4/wish/207472873 https://padlet.com/bknaus/csp580_554_week4/wish/207472901 Excellent memories from all of my teachers in elementary school. I remember a lot of opportunities to showcase work. Pumpkin characters set up in the media center, book diaramas (sp?), tri-fold posters, science explorations etc. It brought a lot of my learning to a great culmination, and I still remember my projects to this day. I put a lot of time into making them the best that I could, and really enjoyed the time spent. I always loved school. :) Middle school somewhat killed my spirit...I definitely was more about my friends, and remember a lot of textbook and worksheet type of work. I do not have a lot of positive academic memories although I still succeeded in classes. ]]> 2017-11-15 23:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/bknaus/csp580_554_week4/wish/207472901 bknaus https://padlet.com/bknaus/csp580_554_week4/wish/207472908 Mr. Rampp. First time I had to write. He rarely gave us topics but just write. We could write just about anything. 7th grade. I filled a notebook each quarter. This really built my writing.

Also, looking back, 4th grade music. I was nominated for a lead part in an opera. I freaked out and wanted to set design. I wish I had known I was introvert..]]> 2017-11-15 23:11:20 UTC https://padlet.com/bknaus/csp580_554_week4/wish/207472908 kthorson https://padlet.com/bknaus/csp580_554_week4/wish/207472912 My first grade teacher was very tall.
My 6th grade teacher was the first male teacher that I had.

We never mixed it up. I understand that students need appropriate supports in learning but maybe mixing up the groups in my 3rd grade class would have helped those struggling readers move along. ]]> 2017-11-15 23:11:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bknaus/csp580_554_week4/wish/207472928 https://padlet.com/bknaus/csp580_554_week4/wish/207472982 5th grade- Mr. Radetzke, my first male teacher, he had such a powerful voice, he emphasized science for everyone- even girls and in the late 70s that was a big deal. I loved experiments an learning how "things worked".  I'll never forget, him or his engaging lessons.]]> 2017-11-15 23:11:50 UTC https://padlet.com/bknaus/csp580_554_week4/wish/207472982 https://padlet.com/bknaus/csp580_554_week4/wish/207472993 In first grade, I had two awesome teachers. One went out of her way to find me books to read that were more at my level than were in the classroom at the time, and for some reason they were all about Helen Keller.. so I know a lot of random information about her to this day! It helped me embrace challenging myself as well as my curiosity, and because of that I still love reading – both fiction as well as nonfiction topics that I'm just curious about.]]> 2017-11-15 23:11:55 UTC https://padlet.com/bknaus/csp580_554_week4/wish/207472993 https://padlet.com/bknaus/csp580_554_week4/wish/207473030 My 5th grade teacher and I clearly didn't get along. I remember quite well having most of my "sunny day" recesses taken away from me as a result. I don't recall being a really tough child, but apparently I was a handful for that teacher. It's not a great memory and I am now conscious of the way I discipline students for mild issues]]> 2017-11-15 23:12:06 UTC https://padlet.com/bknaus/csp580_554_week4/wish/207473030 https://padlet.com/bknaus/csp580_554_week4/wish/207473107 Having the same teacher in 4th -5th-& 6th grade (Mr. Scott) and how he made it always seem like a new year even though a majority of us had him the year before and the year before that ]]> 2017-11-15 23:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/bknaus/csp580_554_week4/wish/207473107 skogenm1 https://padlet.com/bknaus/csp580_554_week4/wish/207473197 I remember my 8th grade science teacher doing a lot of hands-on labs that captured my attention.
