Literacy Strategies


Literacy strategies are an important part of any form of education. If students or individuals do not understand the content, they are unlikely to perform well in the classroom. This is especially true in an area where the educational process may be slightly dangerous for the student. This could include any type of shop setting where there could be many hazards to student and instructor safety. By using different strategies to ensure student literacy we can avoid any potentially dangerous situations. Literacy strategies can also be used to help clear up other misunderstandings on how an industry works and how that relates to other areas. This is because misunderstandings can make it difficult to properly communicate with one another as you can not necessarily understand one another.
In regards to Inquiry-Based Instruction (IBI) literacy skills are important to the entire process of education. Students need to understand not only the question that they are being asked but also different ways to solve the problem. If students do not know how to find the information that they need for the problem they are unlikely to correctly solve the problem. Once again, using different literacy techniques can be very beneficial to your students. Each student will likely learn best with different literacy techniques so using different literacy techniques. Using a variety of techniques will allow for the optimal benefit to all students. As the students’ literacy increases their overall chances of success also increases. Once students can understand the content, they will be able to find the answers that they need for their IBI.




To my future administrators, how do you expect inquiry-based instruction to be used in your school?

To my cooperating teacher, how have you used inquiry-based instruction in your classroom?

To my cohort, how do you plan to use inquiry-based instruction in your classroom?

    Was this post about literacy strategies or inquiry based instruction? When you join us, literacy strategies will be an interesting conversation to have with the high school teachers as they are doing some work with an ELA teacher in that area.

Running the Classroom

This week during student teaching I taught two different classes. An eighth-grade class and a seventh-grade class. I also got to assist in facilitating a dissection in two advanced animal science classes. Each of these experiences was interesting in its own way. During the dissections, I found that I am still not completely comfortable with dissections. While I know anatomy fairly well and can point out different organs in images that of dissecting something makes me uncomfortable. I know that depending upon what school I end up at I may need to lead some dissections on my own. Due to this, I will need to work towards becoming more comfortable dissecting things. For those of you who perform dissections with your students, what have you done to become more comfortable with the process? What other similar activities would I be able to do with students until I get more comfortable? I enjoyed teaching the middle schoolers, as for the most part they seemed more enthusiastic about

First Days of Teaching

Image
During this past week, I had my first experience actually teaching at my cooperating center. The middle school students overall seemed to enjoy the first day of my teaching where they got to use Nearpod to learn interactively during their lecture. Due to this, I think that I may use Nearpod more often in future lessons, as the students enjoy it and they are not overly difficult or time consuming to make. The second day however they did not seem to enjoy the lesson very much as they didn’t seem to be paying attention at times, I think this is due to the lesson being dry. I played clips for them about three of the different agricultural career pathways, which admittedly were likely meant for older students. I am working on making a more interactive way to teach them about the remaining pathways. While I know that not all lessons are going to be fun ones I would like to have as many interactive lessons as possible. I feel that this will help my students learn as this way they are d

Back to School Week Fall 2019 RTL Reflection This has been an exciting and stressful week back to school. During this week we did our first pre-teaching lesson of the semester. I was feeling alright before my scheduled lesson but as soon as I started my mind went blank and I forgot what I wanted to say. I knew what I needed to say but I felt like I couldn’t get the words out. Through my classmates and instructors, I found that I did better than I thought I did. I know that I still have a ways to go but I look forward to seeing how I progress through this semester. One of the things that I did notice rewatching my lesson is that I appeared less stressed than I felt during the lesson. However, in spite of this, I had trouble deciding what I was going to say and how I was going to say it. Due to this, the main question that I have is how do I keep myself calm while I am giving a lesson? Even when I feel I know the material well or I am simply very interested in the topic I have troubl
