Professional Teaching
Standard(s) targeted in
todays experience.
1B) The teacher were very skilled in getting the students involved in
the class discussion so they could share the understanding they had
of the previous days lesson. He used current film and other known
references that kids could relate to encourage them to share their
interpretations of the information they were learning.
2K) This biology class was what they called a bridge class. This is a
class that is non-credit and instead helps the student prepare for the
credited class they are to take once the school year starts. These are
kids that are struggling with biology. The teacher uses labs and
games to help the students think and inquiry about the lessons.
4C) The students were from different grades (9-12) and from
different schools (Glenbard West and Glenbard South) like the day
before but these students were also in different levels of learning.
There were students there who were in AP classes for other subjects
and kids who were in the special education classes. The teacher
grouped the kids in fours and was able to get the stronger students to
help the students who needed extra help and with his guidance made
the learning work for each student.
I could see that the students really enjoyed their class and that the
teacher was extremely vested in their learning. By his using games
and labs that entertained and stirred up curiosity the students were
able to learn and enjoy the process.
