Begin with the End in Mind
To start the year off right, we will be establishing ground rules and expectations for the Education and Training class. It is important that you start fast and finish strong. I like to begin with the end in mind. By the end of the 5th six weeks you will be expected to complete an electronic portfolio. A blog is only one of the many technology tools you will be proficient with by the end of the year.
Next week, you will be setting up your own blog account. Blog grades can be the difference in a C or an A in this class. I feel good writing skills are important for teachers to possess. Since written communication is extremely important for you in your career, why not start now? More information on blogs next week.
We will be establishing student made classroom rules.
This week, your blog assignment is to comment on my blog. Your comment is due by Friday, August 31. I will show you how and where to post a comment.

Written communication is important because it allows an understanding on how to get things done without confusion when talking.

Written communication is important because it leaves little room for misunderstanding. Guidelines are set in stone when they are in writing and students have no reason to not understand the expectations. I missed Mrs. Stevens SO much over the summer and I'm super duper excited that I get to see her everyday.

ReplyDeleteOne rule that I think every classroom should have is the family rule. Every class should see each other as a brother or sister rather than a classmate. It helps the students feel special and loved. Whenever they are so close to each other it makes them more comfortable in the environment and not scared to go to school and get made fun of, instead they look forward to going to class.
Written communication is important because it provides a basic understanding and there isn't much room for confusion. One rule that should be in every classroom should be- Be respectful.
