"You're the Teacher" Highlights Day 3

Our focus this week has been on Educational Theories.
     Sierra, Erika and Sabryna taught a great lesson over Benjamin Bloom and his Taxonomy. Students completed a Taxonomy graphic organizer to better understand the different domains and possible student products to implement in their classroom.
            Stefani, Sam and Caitlyn covered B.F. Skinner and Operant Conditioning. They utilized a youtube clip showing his experiment and how it can be applied to dogs and humans. They had students draw a reinforcement and punishment they may use in their classroom one day.
            Tristan, Shelby and Tyler created a lesson over Lev Vygtosky and his Zone of Proximal Development. They created a crossword puzzle using an online crossword puzzle maker to help students learn vocabulary and concepts from this theory.
            Cassie, Casey and Jordan presented a lesson over Erik Erikson. They utilized a graphic organizer chart that students were required to fill out while presenting their lecture. This group also had student’s complete a journal reflection over their own development and passed out a quiz for students to take.
            Sadie, Ashley and Catie worked together on Arnold Gesell’s Theory. They created a powerpoint with fill in the blanks over the major components of his theory.  Students were asked to draw their own dream world or something they fear to relate to his Gradients of Growth.
            This has been a wonderful experience for students they were required to complete a lesson plan, develop objectives, teach a lesson and reflect on how their lesson went.
