Reasoning Statement: In a presentation by Dr. Nadine Burke-Harris, I was able to learn about the behavioral traits of adolescent learners, and how I as a teacher have to act in a different manner to deescalate the situation. By having this information, it helps me learn how to keep a calm classroom and help students in a more efficient manner.
Reasoning Statement: As substitution for observation because of COVID-19, i was giving feedback to example videos provided by Pearson. By doing this, I was able to watch a variety of teaching styles, give feedback of my thoughts for student learning, and help Pearson evolve their videos to be even more helpful for future educators and current educators.
Reasoning Statement: I created a hypothetical mini-lesson to refresh students knowledge on the dramatic arc. I was using a variety of technology, including Google Slides, Screencastify, and PlayPosit. Students would be able to move at their own pace and enhance their own think in a low stress environment.
