This teaching model gives students more autonomy in their educational experience. These classrooms involve students in the planning, implementation, and assessment phases of an instructional unit. As the term implies, students are placed at the center of their learning rather than on the outskirts, and are given freedom in voicing how, what, and why they are learning certain topics. darktemplar_14 https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205568773

He gave us the term “Zone of Proximal Development” which we can see displayed in this visual below. What a child can do with adult or PEER interaction is beyond what they can do alone and so collaborative learning will enhance students’ development. nataliesaldajeno https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205587964 https://www.instructionaldesign.org/theories/social-development]]> 2021-02-16 05:47:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205587964 darktemplar_14 https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205594824 2021-02-16 05:51:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205594824 In the Edutopia video linked below it is highlighted that collaborative learning encourages students to use their “neighbor as a resource, test their own theories and from this learn if they are on the right track” (DeVene 2012) nataliesaldajeno https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205595876 2021-02-16 05:51:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205595876 In the video we see one great student centered approach that requires collaboration and that is a “Harkness Discussion”. This is essentially a round table discussion that is inclusive of all at the table. From the video we learn the physical layout and set up is important; students need to be able to see each other to connect. A table is used in the example but it could be done sitting on the floor or with a circle of chairs. The teacher also highlights that students should first be encouraged to think of values to uphold during the discussion, the teacher may start this off but it is good for students to brainstorm these themselves. In this type of discussion the students have some roles such as notetaker (so focus for participants remains on discussion) , moderator ( to make sure discussion moves at a good speed and that all are involved - “let’s hear another voice”) and a map maker. The map maker keeps a record of the conversation flow like this…. nataliesaldajeno https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205598661 2021-02-16 05:53:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205598661 At the end of the conversation students can use the map to reflect on how the conversation went and to be more aware of involving everyone. The “map maker” may also organically start to notice other factors such as links between friend groups (Potash 2016) and can bring these observations to have discussions about discussions. This is student based feedback too! As collaborative learning; a Harkness discussion isn’t just about saying what you know but also about learning to listen or how to believe in your own ideas. It can allow students to grow in the area they need. nataliesaldajeno https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205602187 When students are taking part in these discussions they are constructing meaning instead of just being told and in the article below the author also draws attention to how the method can be very beneficial for English Language Learners. This article gives practical tips on the Harkness method for example -  teacher provides stimulus for discussion (for example a chapter in a book or an event in history); teacher encourages students to generate questions; teacher sits out of the circle and only intervenes only in certain moments such as if the discussion begins to attack a student personally and not their idea (Huynh 2016)


]]> 2021-02-16 05:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205602187 JIGSAW METHOD - Essentially each student becomes a puzzle piece within a small group (“home group”) and gather they information in a focused area , then they move to a group with other students researching the same area (“expert group”) and discuss and share ideas together, finally they return to their original small group and share the knowledge they have gathered and other students can ask questions. The other students have all done the same but with different areas of focus and so when they all feedback what they have learned it builds a bigger picture . nataliesaldajeno https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205607786 2021-02-16 05:58:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205607786 USING JAMBOARD for collaboration during online or hybrid classes. There are many ways to allow students to continue to collaborate even when physically distant. For example, one method called FOUR CORNERS starts from a question with multiple answers or responses and the teacher creates breakout rooms with the different answers or opinions. Students choose which room to join based on their opinion. They join the room and use the board in their room to together create a case for their answer or response. They will later return to the main room to make their case. nataliesaldajeno https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205619022 (Lyding 2021)]]> 2021-02-16 06:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205619022 darktemplar_14 https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205621019 2021-02-16 06:06:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205621019 SOME OTHER METHODS ROOTED IN COLLABORATION nataliesaldajeno https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205623324 2021-02-16 06:07:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205623324 In Pre-K and Early Childhood give students SPACE TO "BICKER". The linked article discusses the value in stepping back and allowing children to guide their own play. At the Pre-K age this can sometimes lead to independent play or parallel play but often children will begin to converse and suggest an activity ( “let’s make a fairy house….”) and this may then lead to bickering which the author suggests is something we should allow to happen to further ideas and lead to compromise and therefore continued play (Hobson,2021) nataliesaldajeno https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205631136 2021-02-16 06:11:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205631136 darktemplar_14 https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205664738 2021-02-16 06:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1205664738 Overall Environmental Potential Preferences: mhettel2 https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1207074719

 This game can help students            improve in their vocabulary. Students are encouraged to use dictionaries to check is words are correctly spelled.
2. Hang-man
This can help student with their spelling. It can encourage student to use new words they've learned.
3. Having students review their books. This helps the students reflect on the books they read. They can give reviews on whether or not other students should read that book and why.
4. Having students discuss the book. This can "enhance student enjoyment of reading and can push them to think more deeply." (Jacobs & Renandya, 2014, p. 104)
5. Reader's Theater
This methods engages readers and non-readers. The student will read a text and read it aloud. Students are encouraged to act it out or perform in a funny or engaging way. Non-readers, "take notes, identify a stronger/weaker argument, identify an inaccuracy, categorize statements, etc." (Classroom Activities: Simple Strategies to Incorporate Student-Centered Activities within Undergraduate Science Lectures, 2012)
6. Minute Papers
The students are given a minute. They write down what they learned or any confusing parts about areas in stories or texts they have read.
7. Think-Pair-Share
The students are given a question/prompt. They have a given time to think about that. After that is done, the student must find a partner and discuss their thoughts. This can be used for discussions about books.

All of our students come with powerful experiences that have driven their lives, such as family stories, favorite books, hobbies, and trips. We can use a variety of assessment tools like one-on-one conversations, journals, and graphic organizers to learn more about our students and what drives them to learn.
2.Assessing 21st-Century/Success Skills
We know that some of our students collaborate better than others, just as some students have more global empathy than others. If we assess for these success or 21st-century skills, we can provide experiences and instructions that foster those skills and allow our students to grow in areas that are more than simply content knowledge or skills.
3.Formative Assessment of Content and Skills
Teachers should use low-stakes formative assessments to assess students' content knowledge and skills. This way, we can learn which concepts and skills need to be retaught, and which ones students have mastered. These assessments are not graded. Instead, we can use them to create a learning environment that is more student-centered.

Lessons should be relevant and students should see a connection between the world around them and the material they are learning. Online classrooms have the opportunity to give students more control and personalization over their learning.

    It is important to make sure students are given the right tools to help them succeed. Using math programs like Zearn, which includes instructional videos, sample problems, and challenges them with multiple problems with extra support along the way, is a great way for students to engage with math. An online library such as getepic.com offers students a large variety of books with the option of having books read out loud to the learner if they feel they need extra support of just want to hear someone else read them a story. 

    The best online toolkit should be easy to use while giving students the freedom to explore and the opportunity to take control of their learning. ]]>     2021-02-17 01:28:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1209392214     jeffreyaustin https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1209453583 2021-02-17 02:11:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1209453583 References: nataliesaldajeno https://padlet.com/jeffreyaustin/wun3lv6050u8ihro/wish/1209530216 Cullata.

A teacher may create work stations for students to move around the classroom and either complete different assignments or travel to stations to get extra help in struggling subjects. Developing more group projects and hands on assignments in which students have to create, build, experiment, etc. is a another way to have students up and moving around. Taking field trips or having field trips come to the school is another great way for students to move as they learn. Even creating a classroom environment in which students need to move around the room to gather supplies they need or want for assignments or projects gives them the freedom to move around the room and get materials they choose.
