Core Word – Joy

Posted on June 28, 2021 By Amanda Younger No Comments on Core Word – Joy
Core Word – Joy

I love the idea of a core word to describe teaching, learning, or thinking. My first word that came to mind was not in the list provided to choose from. One of my goals is for my students to become deep thinkers and to use a variety of thinking strategies to think for themselves. Scrolling…

Response to the Mathematician’s Lament

https://www.maa.org/external_archive/devlin/LockhartsLament.pdf The Mathematician’s Lament hit me hard as someone who loves music and art, I couldn’t imagine a world where a child’s only exposure to art or music was one where it was so proscribed as Lockhart suggests. I grew up as a competitive dancer and it continues to shape my outlook, reading Lockhart’s Lament…

Collective Presentation

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1TZvUFyHnv_QrAt5stbEtfd9EprUj4H19VtvdqvdxLFM/edit?usp=sharing In my most recent course we built a collective presentation this was a challenging exercise for me to know how to contribute to a group presentation that was built completely asynchronously.

Teacher Feedback Debate

Teacher Feedback Debate

After watching the video twice I can see that Bill Gates brings up some good points about teachers needing coaching and descriptive feedback. We give descriptive formative feedback to our students but rarely receive it ourselves beyond our practicums. Currently it is on us to seek out feedback to help us grow. The idea of…

Assessment in BC and Finland

Assessment in BC and Finland

I decided to choose a country that we haven’t looked at in this course but when looking at PISA scores or other measures typically preforms well across all areas.
