We survived another week!

     Another week of EDUC 250 has passed, and all of us are holding on! Our teacher orientation was a huge day for us this week. All EDUC 250 students spent our Saturday learning about our future careers, as well as watching our fellow peers teach. It was a great way to learn about our next few years as education students. This week, our classroom time was spent making an infomercials on our philosophies. My partner and I chose perennialism, and we used the maker space to create a fun video to explain what this philosophy is. This is a great tool to use, and I will for sure use something similar in my future classroom if all the tools are available.
     We continue to use our 6-point lesson plan, and unpack a standard to get more specific in our teaching. As our discussions in class continue, we are learning ways to improve to better our future students. On Saturday, we observed students who were assigned a standard, then has to teach it. The EDUC 250 students as observers used the lesson plan to provide feedback. It's exciting to know that next semester we will be doing the same thing. I look forward to next week, can't wait to see what's in store!

  1. I definitely agree that Saturday helped us to realize what the future holds for us in the School of Education! It's a little overwhelming knowing that we have to teach a part of the same orientation next semester, but I know we'll be prepared for it as the semester continues. I'm excited to see what else the future holds for us!

  3. It is exciting thinking about in 2 years we will be able to teach a class of our own. I got alot out of visiting the school this past wednesday that only supported my career choice. I am excited to visit the next two schools and continue to build on the learning process of our 6 point lesson plan, unpacking standards, and much more.

  4. Madison, the weeks are flying by! Great job in your philosophy video! Make sure you are making connections to the NCTCS and referencing outside learning in each blog.
