This has been such a great week for learning about philosophies, watching a fellow peer preform a lesson, and participating in a communication exercise. The main focus of this week was our paper on our personal philosophies. My personal philosophy is that learning is a building process. Without learning basic skills and tools, we wouldn't be able to comprehend information as we grow in our educational careers.
In our class today, we watched Ariel Campbell, an upper level EDUC student teach a lesson at the kindergarten level. We used a six point lesson plan to give her feedback on her lesson. As we grow deeper into our EDUC 250 course, we always refer back to our lesson plan, as it is the core for our future teaching. Another thing we did today was a communication exercise with partners. One partner was given a design and the other a blank sheet of paper. Our goal was to communicate and replicate the picture using only descriptive words.
Referring to my original philosophy that learning is a building process, the communication exercise is something that I will use in my future classroom. This is a great exercise that students can use to build communication and leadership skills. I'm looking forward to visiting the elementary school this coming week and seeing how the things we learn in class translate to the classroom.
I am glad you see how the communication exercise can be used in your future classroom. Keep on making these connections!
