Deal All,
Thank you so much for your time in our training last week. We
have discussed and shared different aspects and classroom practices in our
schools. We covered two important topics, 1) 6 Things to Say to Kids at Risk of Dropping
Out, and 2) learning
about your learners. At this point, I would like to ask you write a brief plan
(max 300 words) how you would like to accomplish one goal (See example below)
that makes your scholars/students smarter based on this two reading. we will do
a follow up and discussion based on your plan in our next monthly motivator. As
I said in the training, this could be anything that you would like to
accomplish in your classroom.
Here is an example:
“My name is Hasan and I work at WH school. I will be working
in Ms. Windsor class as math tutor from spring 2018. In my classroom, I see one
student always struggle with basic geometry formulas. I will be discussing with
my student how we could do better and overcome this issue……I try process…(Plan
A)…. I gave him/her a plan or additional source…(Plan B).….and finally that
works. After one month of this practice, my student feels much confident in geometry!Woo-hoo!!!”.
Now:
Step 1:
Review topic one and two.
Step 2:
You will post your thoughts/ plan in this link. (max
200-300words)
Thank you again for your valuable service in Peer Power.
This is you who made changes in our schools. Last year, one of our flagship
school performed very well in the final outcomes. The graduation rates increased
from 71% to 91%. Now what? We want better outcomes in 2018 as well. One of your
specific goal might help us better.
Please take a moment to think and post your thought. Thanks
for your time again.
Thanks
Hasan
My name is Clay Shawver and I work at Kingsbury high school in Ninth grade all boys English. More and more of my students have become more disruptive or distracted. I figured out that these children will work more autonomously if they just have someone to rely on, to distract them from being bored. So I have made games out of their bad habits. I realized that one of my sleepers will stay awake and attentive if he can just get over the hump of the beginning of the class. So now we make “bets” on how long he can stay up where I decide whatever number of minutes he has to be awake and do work. Since starting this he has focused more in class because he is trying to prove something by staying up.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Jaylen Clark and I work with 7th graders at Havenview Middle School. I have some students who are easily upset when they do not understand a concept and are really hard on themselves when they do not perform as well as their classmates. Instead of explaining a concept in different ways that I think will get those students to understand, my goal is to ask them what I or my teacher can do to help them grasp the concept. As success coaches, it is essential to relate subject matter to real life, and sometimes that still does not work. However, teaching concepts that aligns with the ways a student actually thinks or sees life would be more effective.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Preston Evers and I work with 7th graders in math at Havenview Middle School. I agree with Jaylen. Sometimes I will see a brilliant student struggling to understand new concepts and I will ask myself "Why is this student struggling?" and then proceed to help them understand the concept. This works but I think it is important as success coaches to ask struggling students directly ways in which the teacher and I can better help them understand. This more direct communication will not only ensure that I can do my job more effectively but it will also help to establish a stronger relationship which in turn creates a better learning environment in the classroom.
