There are two forms of motivation, intrinsic and extrinsic, as well as their purposes. Intrinsic motivation comes from within a person and is driven by personal interests or values. Extrinsic motivation comes from external sources such as rewards or recognition. Both forms of motivation are important for achieving goals and reaching success. I found this article to be impactful because it provided a detailed explanation of the two forms of motivation and their purposes. As a teacher, this article will help me to better understand the different types of motivation my students may have and how to use them in the most effective way to help my students reach their goals.

Metacognition is a valuable skill that can be taught to students in order to help them become independent thinkers and take responsibility for their own learning. Research indicates that this skill is associated with increased gray matter in the anterior prefrontal cortex. Teaching metacognition involves defining the term and providing a metaphor to make it more concrete, allowing students to choose topics of interest, and modeling metacognition. These practices create an environment that encourages independent thinking and metacognition, ultimately helping students become independent learners. I found metacognition to be so impactful because it encourages students to take ownership of their learning and become independent, critical thinkers. As a teacher, I believe this skill will enable my students to be more confident and engaged in their studies, which will ultimately lead to better learning outcomes and more meaningful learning experiences.

It is important for teachers to treat their students with respect and understanding, and to embrace differences. They should remain professional and maintain control in the classroom, avoiding unfair rules, negativity, and profanity. Teachers should also have realistic expectations of their students, and use authority appropriately. By creating a respectful and fair environment, teachers can maximize their effectiveness in the classroom. I found this impactful because it emphasizes the importance of creating a respectful and fair environment for students and avoiding unfair rules and negativity. As a future teacher, I will strive to create a positive and equitable learning environment for all of my students, so they can feel safe and supported, allowing them to reach their fullest potential.

Paul Eaton's blog post discussed the application of Urie Bronfenbrenner's theory of ecological development to the online and social media spaces. The theory examines the individual's development in relation to their environment and the interactions between different social systems. It is suggested that social media sites should be thought of as separate contexts, with their own beliefs and policies. Furthermore, students have multiple overlapping contexts, both physical and digital, that can affect each other differently and comparatively, making development much more complex than originally theorized. I found this blog post so impactful because it emphasizes the importance of recognizing the complexity of our students' learning and development. As a future teacher, this will help me to better understand the needs of my students and create a more holistic approach to teaching. This will enable me to create a learning environment that is more conducive to learning and development, as well as build meaningful relationships with my students that will have a lasting impact.

Schools should assess their SEL programs to ensure they are coordinated and in line with the school's goals. Assessments of the school's culture and climate should be done and presented with a focus on gender and ethnicity. Shared values, themes, and essential life habits should be articulated to all members of the school community. Students should be given consistent opportunities to practice SEL skills and faculty should be trained to teach them effectively. Finally, schools should reach out to other schools who have successfully implemented SEL programs for advice and guidance. I found this to be impactful because it emphasizes the need for schools to be intentional in the way they assess, implement, and evaluate their SEL programs. This will be an important part of my practice as a future teacher. As a teacher, I will be responsible for creating a safe and supportive learning environment for my students. I will need to use my knowledge of SEL programs to create a culture of collaboration and respect in my classroom. Additionally, I will need to be able to assess my students' SEL skills and provide them with consistent opportunities to practice them. Finally, I will need to be aware of other successful SEL programs in order to gain insight and best practices.

In the cerebral cortex is the section of the brain responsible for motor movements, higher cognitive skills, sensory processes, language, memory, and emotional responses. It is subdivided into four main sections - the frontal lobe, the parietal lobe, the occipital lobe, and the temporal lobe - and is folded into grooves to increase its surface area. The forebrain includes the basal ganglia, the thalamus, and the hypothalamus, which help to coordinate muscle movements, pass sensory information to the cortex, and control appetites, defensive and reproductive behaviors, and sleep-wakefulness. The spinal cord passes sensory information to the brain and relays nerve impulses that control muscles and viscera. This information is so impactful to me as a future teacher because it gives me a better understanding of how the brain works and how this will impact my teaching practice. Knowing how the brain functions and which sections are responsible for which functions will help me create more effective lesson plans and activities. It will also allow me to better explain concepts to my students and help them understand why certain behaviors can be attributed to certain sections of the brain.

Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences consists of nine different intelligences, which include verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial-visual, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist, and existential intelligence. Gardner's theory suggests that people learn best when presented with learning material in multiple ways, to increase mastery of the content. This theory is different from learning styles, and educators should strive to "pluralize their teaching" rather than rely on the term "styles". I found Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences to be impactful because it gave me insight on how people learn differently and how to best support their learning. As a future teacher, I will use this theory to develop an inclusive learning environment by creating a variety of learning materials and activities to support different types of intelligences. This will ensure that all students are able to learn in an optimal way.

The author discusses how rewards and punishments are a shortcut to teaching, but they are ineffective in terms of fostering a genuine love of learning in students. Instead, the author encourages teachers to help students resolve their own conflicts, give them choices, and meaningful work. Furthermore, the author suggests that teachers should engage in meaningful conversations with students and remove the negative half of the behavior chart. I found this article so impactful because it reinforced the idea that rewards and punishments are not effective in the long-term. As a future teacher, this article has made me more aware of the importance of creating an environment where students can learn, make mistakes, and be supported. I am committing to fostering a classroom environment that is based on mutual respect and understanding.

This article discusses the difference between assimilation and accommodation of knowledge. Assimilation is taking in new information and applying it to existing knowledge, while accommodation is adapting existing knowledge in response to new input. It is important for students to be exposed to different perspectives so they can develop their own schema and be able to effectively reorganize information. This article was impactful to me because it clearly explained the importance of both assimilation and accommodation in the learning process. As a future teacher, this article has reminded me of the need to create a classroom environment where students can develop their own schema and be exposed to different perspectives. This will help them to better understand and apply new information, and to be able to easily reorganize their existing knowledge.

For teenagers with language disorders, early intervention is the best way to ensure they receive the help they need. However, in cases where access to services are limited, teachers can provide strategies to help them. These strategies include breaking down information into simpler chunks, providing explicit instructions and visual aids, and teaching comprehension strategies that use plain English. Additionally, whole-class activities and vocabulary instruction tips can assist in the learning process. I find this information extremely impactful as it provides tangible strategies to help teenagers with language disorders. As a future teacher, I will use these strategies to provide additional support for my students and ensure they receive the help they need. Furthermore, I can use visual aids and explicit instructions to make information easier to understand, as well as whole-class activities to promote collaboration and learning.
