Philosophy of Education by Ernesto R https://padlet.com/ernestoreyes383/Bookmarks en-us 2022-03-13 22:12:25 UTC 2022-03-27 22:10:41 UTC hello@padlet.com Philosophical influences on how learning occurs ernestoreyes383 https://padlet.com/ernestoreyes383/Bookmarks/wish/2101165968 I believe that students learn best based on Jerome Burners Constructivist Theory. The teacher is there to interpret what the students will learn. The students should be encouraged by the teacher to find out what the principle of the lesson is. The teacher and the students should have an active dialogue of the subject in order to better learn what is being taught. 

Students are often given coursework that is at their grade level and may find it too easy or too difficult. All students should not be held to the same standard. Students should be able to learn new things even if it is not from their grade level. The teacher should not limit students learning. 

Learning occurs by building upon what they have already learned. They should be able to learn different things even if it is not at their grade level. In this way, they are able to build upon their previous knowledge.

 I believe that when an assignment is given to students there should be a variety of questions with various Depths of Knowledge (DOK) levels. Depth of Knowledge levels ranges from level one to level four. Level one is a basic recall to level four is more vigorous. There should be
 extra DOK questions on assignments for students who want to learn more.]]> 2022-03-18 02:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ernestoreyes383/Bookmarks/wish/2101165968 Sources ernestoreyes383 https://padlet.com/ernestoreyes383/Bookmarks/wish/2101166392

Through education, students will be able to attain critical thinking skills. They will also be able to solve different problems in a variety of ways. 

The purpose of Special Education is to ensure that all students that have a disability are able to receive the same education as students that do not have a disability. This is done through an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP). With an IEP a student with a disability is able to learn many of the things that are being taught in a general education classroom. It allows for there to be equity amongst all of the students. ]]> 2022-03-25 23:01:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ernestoreyes383/Bookmarks/wish/2114517535 Best Practices on how Students with Disabilities Learn ernestoreyes383 https://padlet.com/ernestoreyes383/Bookmarks/wish/2115693727 I believe that students with disabilities should learn in many different ways. There are three learning styles: Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic. Students that have disabilities should be able to learn in the style that they learn best with.

There are visual learners who think in pictures and learn best with visual diagrams/images. The next one is auditory learners who learn best by listening to what is being taught. The last one is Kinesthetic learners who learn best by doing things hands-on. 

For example, if there is a lesson on fractions there should be a hands-on lesson on fractions by making a cake or cookies. In this way, students are able to measure out the ingredients with various measuring cups.  Other learning styles can also be incorporated such as having visual charts on what the recipe calls for in cups, half cups, teaspoons, and tablespoons.

As a teacher students should not be talked down to. Students should be empowered to learn in school. When helping a student they should not be praised too much. Students should also be able to communicate with the teacher about things in their life that they may need help with.

Criticisms on students should be sandwiched between two things that a student is doing well in. providing two positive things than a thing they can improve on empowers a student to want to improve. If a student was given criticism on its own then they may become discouraged

Teaching should not always involve what is being taught in the lesson. Students' feelings should also be validated if they are having a hard time with the assignment or are having a bad day. There could always be life lessons intertwined into the lesson. ]]> 2022-03-27 16:38:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ernestoreyes383/Bookmarks/wish/2115711719 Assessment ernestoreyes383 https://padlet.com/ernestoreyes383/Bookmarks/wish/2115747009 Through assessment, a teacher is able to see where a student needs to improve. Assessment can be done formally and Informally through observation, standardized assessment, and web-based assessments. With this information, a teacher is better able to help the students with what they are having a hard time learning.

One form of assessment that can be used is an Exit Ticket at the end of a lesson to see how many students understood what was being taught. Based on how many students got it wrong or correct dictates of the lesson should be retaught or if the teacher moves on to the next lesson.

A formal assessment that is used in Special Education would be a standardized assesment such as the Woodcock Johnson. Through this assessment a Special Education teacher is able to see what a student will need specific help with when their IEP is written up.]]> 2022-03-27 17:21:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ernestoreyes383/Bookmarks/wish/2115747009 Culturally inclusive and relevant teaching and learning. ernestoreyes383 https://padlet.com/ernestoreyes383/Bookmarks/wish/2115759439 Students with different cultural backgrounds attend schools. Their history should also be included in social studies/ history lessons. 

What the teacher is teaching should be relevant to the subject and the lesson that is being taught. 

Relevant learning requires the students to be able to understand what is being taught. It also requires them to be able to connect to what is being taught such as a history lesson about their specific culture. ]]> 2022-03-27 17:36:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ernestoreyes383/Bookmarks/wish/2115759439 Ways of being ernestoreyes383 https://padlet.com/ernestoreyes383/Bookmarks/wish/2115777875 Students should learn about social-emotional learning(SEL) through their Ways of Relating, Ways of Feeling, and Ways of Doing. 

Ways of Feelings: The skills students use to understand their emotions. Being self-aware and self-regulating. 

Ways of Relating: The skills students need to interact with others and make relationships.

Ways of Doing: Student's skills at setting goals.

Implementing these ways of being wheel with helps students recognize their feelings, goals, and relationships. It will also make them aware of their actions and what effects they can have on their friends, family, and other school staff.]]> 2022-03-27 17:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ernestoreyes383/Bookmarks/wish/2115777875 3 Domains of Learning ernestoreyes383 https://padlet.com/ernestoreyes383/Bookmarks/wish/2115779603 The cognitive learning domain refers to how a student goes from basic questions to more difficult questions.

The affective learning domain refers to the student's emotions towards learning.

Psychomotor learning refers to how a student begins with basic movement to more difficult maneuvers such as cartwheels and other difficult maneuvers. 

Keeping these three things in mind when teaching is important to teach students properly. If a student is getting frustrated with a math lesson ask them if there is a specific reason behind it. Then based on the response showing them other ways to do it or getting them in touch with the appropriate help. ]]> 2022-03-27 18:02:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ernestoreyes383/Bookmarks/wish/2115779603
