__//**Constructive Conversations:**//__
INTASC: ===__Marva Collins Video__: taught kids who were “below the average”, these children know of authors that I didn’t read until high school or college. Charles Murray had stated that Collins technique was not a proven one so 60 Minutes went on a mission to talk to the students and see if the below average attitude had changed - it did, the students were lawyers, doctors, had gone to college ... and they attributed that to Marva Collins.===
 * 5: Motivation and Management: The teacher uses an understanding of individual and group motivation and behavior to create a learning environment that encourages positive social interaction, active engagement in learning and self-motivation.
 * 3: Diverse Learners: The teacher understand how students differ in their approaches to learning and creates instructional opportunities that are adapted to diverse learners.
 * 8: Assessment: The teacher understands and uses formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and ensure the continuous intellectual, social, and physical development of the learner.

__//**Midterm Observations**//__
INTASC: ===__Erin__: Henry Herbert Goddard - believed in the hereditary position and wanted to discourage reproduction of those who were “below average” or special ed. He helped start special education programs in schools. I like that Erin had the class read the parts in the power point that were in yellow, made the class focus.=== ===__Connie__: Arther Jensen - studied at Berkeley (and is still there), argued that different races should have different educations (this is still a belief for some people), said that you could find intelligence in a person’s genes. Connie’s energy level works well with the class and with her power teaching skills.=== ===__Marjori__: Carol Dweck - wants students to have the courage to push through when the going gets tough - you do this through motivation and encouragement that focuses on the process and not the goal, the praise you give to students shapes them. Liked the examples and class involvement.===
 * 1) 1. Content Pedagogy: the teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the disciple he or she teaches and can create learning experiences that makes these aspects of subject matter meaningful.

__//**Midterm Observations**//__
(Part 2) Name of presenter and an idea to “steal”

__//Midterm Observations//__
INTASC: ===__Ryan__: Charles Spearmen - “father of classical test theory” and found “g” which is the central point in which intelligence comes from. Ryan had great power teaching, was prepared with a handout for his feedback, and gave clear explanations.=== ===__Chelsea__: Alfred Binet - Created the Binet/Simon scale for cognitive abilities (should be administered by a psychologist). I liked how Chelsea used “thinkers” when she refereed to us (the students) and how she had us say “thats cool!” when prompted - made it fun!=== ===__Kimberly__: Francis Galton - gave the handout for separate sections of “note taking” through pictures. He was an African explorer who created the whether map. I really liked this strategy of note taking (for younger grades) it was active and got the class involved.=== ===__Cana__: Anne Anastasi - Showed that intelligence in not a single factor, intelligence's change depending on culture. Cana had good use of power point and also got the class involved. I liked her feedback form too!===
 * 7: __Planning:__ The teacher plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, the community, and curriculum goals.
 * 4: __Multiple Instructional Strategies:__ The teacher understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies to encourage student development of critical thinking, problem-solving and performance skills.
 * 3: __Diverse Learners__: The teacher understand how students differ in their approaches to learning and creates instructional opportunities that are adapted to diverse learners.

__Me__: Louis Leon Thurstone
===__Bryan__: J.P. Guilford - Taught grades 1-8 in Nebraska and was a profesor at USC. Argued that the IQ test can not test creativity. I liked how Bryan used the ‘popcorn’ reading strategy - “Call on someone to read next”.=== ===__Chris__: Florence Laura Goodenough - Her physical illness caused her to retire. She had a bachelor of science and created the test that looked at children’s drawing of (wo)men. Chris had good power teaching! Made us laugh.=== ===__AnnaLaura__: Lewis Terman - Practiced mental testing, Termans Termites is a study still going on today and was first of its kind. Looked at if your IQ predicted how successful in jobs and social life they would be. She did a great job at informing the class and using power teaching!===

__//**Constructivist Conversation**//__
INTASC: (for presentations) ===__Kimberly’s Presentation__: Space Buttons: This Brain-Gym was taught to help students relax, better-able to take notes, and focus during a test. One hand touches your upper lip while the other hand touches your back, just above the tail bone. You then visualize the line that goes between the floor and ceiling. Kimberly had a new spin on power-teaching ... she did not want to use the negative aspect of “dextra points”.=== ===__Connie’s Presentation__: Cross Crawl: If you work on this Brain-Gym you will be working out your mid-field with helps control both sides of your brain. This helps students with critically thinking and sensory coordination. To do this activity you stand (or sit) and bring your (rt) knee to your (lt) elbow. Connie delivered this lesson really well. She had high energy and I like how she added music into the lesson.=== ===__AnnaLaura’s Presentation__: Theorist-Sternberg: This theory teaches of mental states and process of the mind. Triarchic Theory of Intelligence states that there is other types of intelligence, not only “book smarts”. Sternberg says that teachers should differentiate their lessons to teach to all intelligences. AnnaLaura did a great presentation, she had good use of resources.===
 * 7: __Planning__: The teacher plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, the community, and curriculum goals.
 * 6: __Communication and Technology__: The teacher uses knowledge of effective verbal, nonverbal, and media communication techniques that foster active inquiry, collaboration, and supportive interaction in the classroom.
 * 4: __Multiple Instructional Strategies__: The teacher understands and uses a variety of intructional strategies to encourage student development of critical thinking, problem-solving and performance skills.

INTASC: (for clip) ==__“For Good”-Wicked__: Good advice for teachers. People change us for the good or the better and whichever way that goes that person has changed us an we will remember. Do what we can as teachers to change for good.==
 * 5: Motivation and Management: The teacher uses an understanding of individual and group motivation and behavior to create a learning environment that encourages positive social interaction, active engagement in learning and self-motivation.

__//Constructivist Conversation//__
INTASC: (for presentations) ===__Ryan’s Presentation__: “Carol Gilligan”. Had great class involvement - used class to read slides and then explained more in-depth. Also he didn’t only rely on the power-point, he had two student read out loud as well. Good use of resources. Nice video clip - funny!===
 * 4: __Multiple Instructional Strategies__: The teacher understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies to encourage student development or critical thinking, problem-solving, and performance skills.
 * 1) 1. __Content Pedagogy__: the teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the disciple he or she teaches and can create learning experiences that makes these aspects of subject matter meaningful.

__Chelsea’ Presentation__: “Karen Horney”. Had a handout which was a good use of resources. Her presentation was really in-depth. And had a great video which kept the class entertained.
INTASC: (for film clips) ===__A: Differentiation in Action__- use of content, process, and product. Being able to adapt lessons to students differences. By giving the students a length of time will keep them goal oriented and on topic. Look for the students who have signs of non-engagement, and check them for understanding.===
 * 2: __Student Development__: The teacher understands how children learn and develop, and can provide learning opportunities that support a child’s intellectual, social, and personal development.
 * 3: __Diverse Learners__: The teacher understand how students differ in their approaches to learning and creates instructional opportunities that are adapted to diverse learners.
 * 8: __Assessment__: The teacher understands and uses formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and ensure the continuous intellectual, social, and physical development of the learner.

__B: Character Education__- Teaching kids how to get back up after they fall. Teach morals in engaging ways (sounds, puppets, and stories). Giving life lessons.
===__C: Valedictorian Speech__- Students learn but they are not learning all that they can (not to their full potential). Wants students to retrain themselves in how they learn. Memorize, regurgitate, and forget. She may be looked at as really controversial but I think she raises really good points that we, as students AND teachers, need to think about.=== ===__D: What Kids are Watching__-Disney Clips - this was a good video. it showed all the movies that I watched as a child. The clips were categorized into the areas that give false impressions; such as aggression and femininity. How can we use this in the classrooms though? This is what children are seeing at home, so it is important to not reinforce those stereotypes in the classroom.=== ===__E. Gender Stereotype in Education__- Asks students if education is a women’s domain? I liked how one guy stated “if you are asking the question like that, then you are saying that it is a women’s domain”. Another person answered -it is more about competence now, not just if you are woman teacher. It is good to have students experience both sexes as teachers.===

__//Constructivist Conversation//__
INTASC: (for presentations) ===__Marjori’s Presentation__: “Double Doodle” (explained in my strategies). She was already set up for the presentation which was an effective use of the time she had. Marjori also used power teaching really well and it made the presentation active for the students. While using power teaching, I noticed that it made her give clear explanations of the lesson. Also the use of positive reinforcement. I like the addition of the music-helps creativity.=== ===__Chris's Presentation__: “Gravity Glider” (explained in my strategies). I liked his use of power teaching. The video was a great visual and then that was reinforced by having a student model what the video had shown.=== ===__Cana’s Presentation__: Great use of the resources available to her! I liked all the video/song clips, made the presentation easier to understand and more engaging. And she made the class laugh during a theorist presentation-which would be pretty tough.===
 * 7: __Planning__: The teacher plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, the community, and curriculum goals.
 * 2: __Student Development__: The teacher understands how children learn and develop, and can provide learning opportunities that support a child’s intellectual, social, and personal development.
 * 4: __Multiple Instructional Strategies__: The teacher understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies to encourage student development or critical thinking, problem-solving, and performance skills.

INTASC: (for film clips) ===__Film: //Searching For Bobby Fischer//__: #1-The child shows curiosity and trust when he sees the big man. He is curious about what he found (the chess piece). He shows trust because the child did not run away. He man gained the child’s trust by not make sudden movements. The child also displays ‘flow’ in this scene - he is so intensely focused on the chess game that he doesn't hear his name being called or even notice the down pouring rain. #2- This is the scene with the child and his dad, seasoning a baseball glove. The child knows to use something that is shaped like a baseball whereas his dad would have given up and waited till they could get an actual baseball. Class also noted here that smell is a powerful way to engage the memory.=== ===__Emergent Curriculum__: explained looping-students staying with one teacher for three years. The teachers are guides to the students learning-the children’s interests guide teaching style. Keep portfolio’s for the students, shows progress. __Differentiation__: Guided reading. Students should be reading six times a day for fifteen minutes. When you have ‘guided reading’ the teacher can see what skills need to be worked on; allowing to reteach to struggling students and teach new skills to more advanced. But this raises the question, will you let the middle/average group fall behind? __Gender Bias in Children’s Books__: It teaches children that this is “just the way things are” but we need to be telling our children other wise. At the age these stories are read to them, they soak up knowledge and the stories are reinforcing cultural rituals. They should be hearing about the development of woman’s roles in society.===
 * 2: __Student Development__: The teacher understands how children learn and develop, and can provide learning opportunities that support a child’s intellectual, social, and personal development.
 * 4: __Multiple Instructional Strategies__: The teacher understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies to encourage student development of critical thinking, problem-solving, and performance skills.
 * 8: __Assessment__: The teacher understands and uses formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and ensure the continuous intellectual, social, and physical development of the learner.

//__Constructivist Conversation__//
INTASC: (for presentations) ===__Bryan’s Presentation__: Took a long time to set up but the lesson ended up being really well done. For the visual aspect, Bryan used 10 cups to show how much water we needed to drink in one day. He also used a youtube video of “drink that water” which contributed to the comedy aspect as well. Other strategies were use of notecards to involve class and polling - he asked two serious questions and the third one made us all laugh.=== ===__Erin’s Presentation__: Good job at getting everyone’s attention-used the “clap” to break us up and tell a partner about ‘The Owl’. The lesson was already an active one, which helps but she did a great job at involving the class.===
 * 4: __Multiple Instructional Strategies__: The teacher understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies to encourage student development or critical thinking, problem-solving, and performance skills.
 * 1) 1. __Content Pedagogy__: the teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the disciple he or she teaches and can create learning experiences that makes these aspects of subject matter meaningful.

INTASC: (for film clips) ===__**Film: //Montessori School//**__-The children were independently learning. The teacher was not visible to the camera-and when you did see her you saw that she was working with a small group. The children knew where to get supplies and knew that it was their job to put it away when they were done. Knew procedures to do things-example was the flowers.=== ===__**Film: //Billy Elliot//**__ 1. His best friend was a chum (having no friends) He wanted to ‘fit in’ but was doing ballet without his father knowing. His friend wanted him to do ballet in a tu-tu. (Thorndike-1: are interested) 2. Plays it ‘cool’. trying to hide=no confidence in what he is doing and doesn't want to break the rules. 3. Practices in his mirror and bathroom. “I DID IT!” smile. Was reinforced by the teachers smile and nod. (Thorndike-3: reinforced and 2: practice)===
 * 5: __Motivation and Management__: The teacher uses an understanding of individual and group motivation and behavior to create a learning environment that encourages positive social interaction, active engagement in learning and self motivation.

 * 2) 6. __Communication and Technology__: The teacher uses knowledge of effective verbal, nonverbal, and media communication techniques to foster active inquiry, collaboration, and supportive interaction in the classroom.

===**__Piaget’s Theory__**: The two teenagers tested Madeline in the areas of Piaget’s Theory. She ‘failed’ to answer in the way that I, as a 22 year old would. This demonstration shows that her brain does not yet have the ability to constructively deduct the correct answer, so only sees the surface. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKzJsQcbOUQ===

===**__Four Stages Commercial__**: This video was three students who took an action (sirens) and explained the “baby”/ “mothers” reaction into one of Piaget’s four stages. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpYQH_T2FWM&feature=related===

===**__Montessori Story__**: This was a commercial made in order for parents to know what Montessori was all about. If their children are having a hard time in class or they are afraid their children weren’t going to succeed in their education - Montessori was right for those parents. Montessori provides social interaction, freedom for students to pursue their interests, use all of the senses, and peer teaching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-e3S8Z6j8CE===

===__**Davidson Films/Dr. Montessori**__: This film showed the history of Dr. Montessori and what her vision was for education. She explained how education is a natural process and knowledge comes from experience and should not be forced upon students - they should work at their own pace. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2A3-z0qdCw&feature=related===

===**__Vygotosky pt 2__**: This clip showed how there is a difference between independent acts of a student as well as assisted. The area in between is know at the proximal development zone - this is where teachers need to focus. What a student can do alone is what we are testing them on but we as teachers need to focus more on what students can do with assistance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6oQfZ-PrwM&feature=related===

===**__Lev Vygotsky ZPD__**: This video was hard to watch, the effects were annoying and made it hard for me to take information out of it. I learned that Vygotsky wanted to know how children obtained knowledge. He found that some students didn’t need adult help but then others could benefit from the subtle interaction of the teachers. He said that we should not judge students by testing them. Their family, community, culture and education all play a role in who they are. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRvQ4_nPNcU===

===__**History of Social Constructivism**__: Vygotsky wanted to become a lawyer but changed his focus to the social aspects of learning rather than the traditional individual look. It is important for teachers/educators to know that students need the interaction between peers, family, etc... and they can learn from those interactions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_205mQSLcA&feature=fvw===

===__Vygotskys Developmental Theory**:**__ Learning impacts development and that leads to symbolic meaning. Children construct knowledge, learning is linked with development, social aspect plays a role, and language is a major part of development. Drawing, experiencing, talking are all ways to reinforce what they have learned. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hx84h-i3w8U&feature=related===

===**__Scaffolding__**: This is a strategy that acts as an external support for students. If teachers verbalize implicit structures/write down the steps as a visual reference, soon students would not need that support and would internalize the lesson. Being able to remove the “scaffolding” is the goal. Talk about it, use it, give examples....so the students can effectively use it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se6a9Q_37t4&feature=related===

===**__Differentiated Instruction__**: This is a way to provide ways for all students to find success, no matter what their skill level was at the beginning. Show what you expect, give them a model, a starting baseline... and you will see an improvement in the ability of your students. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPl8OSCX_f8&feature=related===

===**__Scaffolding Self Directed__**: Learning is a shared process and gradually switches to student as they are able to take on more difficult tasks without assistance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXl7PP3bBKE&feature=related===

===__Vygotsky pt 1__: Children construct knowledge and this is always “co-constructed” and involves more than one human being. We cant only look at facts and skills of children - it is much more complex than that. Logic and language are closely connected. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9KDH8sHhtM&feature=related===

===**__ZPD and Scaffolding__**: Example given was riding a bike. If you study what they can do independently you can not tell what you can do to make a difference. Know what they can do with assistance will give you a base line so you can customize your lessons per students needs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwWrR1YQqN8&feature=related===

===__**Ken Robinson**__: Kids take chances to be wrong and end up being creative. We don’t value what students are good at (music, art, etc). He explains academic inflation and we need to rethink knowledge and intelligence. Look at students independent needs (ballet dancer). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLi-vJSNP6U&feature=related===

===**__Differentiation In Action__**: uses product. how to adapt lessons to students differences. I noticed that he incorporated other subjects - links reading into math, maybe some students are better at reading and needed that link to succeed in math.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBhQu_-_trE&feature=related===

===**__Kohlberg’s Theory__**: Preconventional: learn from fear of punishment. Conventional: conforming to others. Postconventional: own ideas, and learn alternatives. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1zLxQTIPEQ&feature=related===

===**__Kohlbergs stages__**: This guy was a little dense. There are two things that I liked : his explanation of preconventional stage - and how some people are still stuck in this phase-only doing good if there is something in it for them. I also liked how he gave examples of historical figures that fit into the phases like MLK-stage 6-committed to a moral development. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYrfV-F3x_8===

===__**12 yr old Moral Development**__: I liked this video, it was interesting to see how an individual answered immediately but then in their explanation it became more clear of what stage they were in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY4etXWYS84&feature=fvw===

__**Moral Theories-Summary**__: This was a good video, showed the broad spectrum of moral theories and how to apply them such as bioethics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f4xT8-0iGU&feature=related
===**__Reality Therapy__**: How to make choices, to help or to harm. Believe there are good things to choose - healthy habits. Also as deadly habits. How people conduct their relationships. Society wants to give you drugs and say you cant help yourself - but you can help yourself and others. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FckebmElMa8===

===**__Reality Therapy Overview__**: developed by Glasser in order for people to take responsibility for their own happiness. Working with others to self evaluate. For teachers-know your students, stay focused, and never give up on students. Ask: What do you want? What are you doing to get what you want? Is it helping (evaluate)? What else can you do (plan making)?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZWGzWPqja0&feature=related===

===**__Basic Needs__**: Everyone has basic needs. This shows needs of love, connection, power etc. If you can meet your psychological needs you can have fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpxGGBuO7ao&feature=related===

===**__William Glasser__**: Learning has to work WITH the students. Students and teachers need to have involvement. Students need to understand behavior and accept responsibility. Students also need to evaluate their behavior. Students and teacher need a plan that can act as a contract that they will commit to. Follow up and follow through.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yto1-QUKi_s&feature=related===

//**__Constructivist Conversation__**//
===-Hoosiers: The coach listens to and digests the “feedback” of the parents and doesn’t take it personally. This shows that he is a good listener but doesn’t defend who he is. He stands his ground and handles each situation accordingly (for example, kicking one player out/off of the team)===

===-Goodbye Mr. Chips: Mr. Chips lost control of his new class because he let the children take advantage of him. This was a good example of what not to do. He turned that around with the other teachers when he said “it wont happen again”.===

 * 2: Student Development: The teacher understand how children learn and develop, and can provide learning opportunities that support a child's intellectual, social, and personal development.
 * 4: Multiple Instructional Strategies: The teacher understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies to encourage student development of critical thinking, problem-solving, and performance skills.

===http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6oJ5rw9mys __//**Magic Math 7’s**//__: This was an interactive video that is helpful for students that learn visually. With the repetition and clear example at the end I can see how this video/teaching method is effective. I would have helped me in school.===

===http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGRW3q_SkmM 10 __//**Motivational Quotes**//__: I really like things like this, it helps me to refocus. I like the one that said “Whether you think you can, or can’t...you're right.”===

===http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aNaMlSc3Ag __//**Nature vs. Nurture**//__: This is a subject that is extremely interesting to me because I was adopted (and know my biological mother). I can see the argument to both sides. My genes are just like my biological mothers but some have been formed from the nurture of my parents who raised me. This video didn't really explain it very well.===

===http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngCFr1TO62w&feature=PlayList&p=A30054F979B5DB02&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=1 __//**College Whole Brain Teaching**//__: VERY INTERESTING. He engages the class with active hand motions to accompany his brief lessson, they then turn to partner and re-teach/talk. He encourages them when they don’t know something with “its cool”.===

===http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6WJdsb0dfM&feature=related __//**High School Math on Slope**//__: Two more observations I saw about the Power Teaching is how the teacher asks students to mirror her gestures. Also they have a point game - good job=for students or not the best job=teacher===

===http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XroJtR9gQc8&feature=PlayList&p=A30054F979B5DB02&index=2 __//**6th Grade Math**//__: The teacher talks for 30 seconds and then asks the students to review. The positive reinforcement encourages the students to remain high energy with their teaching and learning.===

===http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhvaDFwmfBY&feature=related **//__4/5th Grade, 11 yr old teacher__//**: This was really cool! She told the class exactly what she expected from them and she left the discussion open ended and in the hands of the other students.===

===http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTwjFHorQhk&feature=related **//__Critical Thinking__//**: this way of teaching would most definitely impact the schools I have seen because the students are WAY more excited about education and they are completely involved.===

===http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBeWEgvGm2Y&feature=related **//__College instruction on Power Teaching__//**: Humor=class is more fun and engaging. Gestures=involvement and helps students to memorize points. Refocusing=quality attention for a BIG point, “hands & eyes!”===

===http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lHL78quPag&feature=related **//__Classroom Rules__//**: he changes according to the age group. Pictures for younger children, no pictures/just words for teens. Practice rules throughout the whole day for younger kids and every period for middle school and above.===

===http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx1H8JoINGs&feature=fvw **//__Mr Howard & Smart Board__//**: My high school used smart boards in every classroom, so I feel confident i would know how to use one. and if i needed help i could go there. They are are every effective way of teaching...mostly in math.===
