Dilyn-Week of February 29
Steve Ventura-GWAEA-February 23
Inspired and passionate teachers do NOT:
use grading as punishment
combine behavioral and academic performance
elevate quiet compliance over academic work (classroom control is important but does not have to be quiet)
do not use worksheets excessively (packets, packets, packets…)
have low expectations
keep defending low quality learning as ‘doing your best’ (What a kid can do today is not acceptable tomorrow. We should have a new goal for them.)
- evaluate their impact by compliance, covering the curriculum or conceiving explanations as to why they have little or no impact on their students.
Inspired and Passionate teachers:
build relationships; their students know they care about them and their learning (.72 effect size) What is effect size?? We will learn more about that later!!
provide feedback to students (use data)
engage in dialogue not monologue
provide challenges
manage the classroom so LEARNING is the key focus for students, not BEHAVIOR
using a wide range of instructional strategies is the difference between EXPERT and EXPERIENCED teachers - expert teachers have a significantly greater effect on student outcomes than experienced teachers do
