Tales from 4th Grade Teachers: Cheating
http://fourthgradeteachers.blogspot.com/2008/12/cheating.html
Tales from 4th Grade Teachers. Tuesday, December 2, 2008. Last week CNN featured a story about the impacts of high-stakes testing. One of the side effects born from a culture of narrow assessment is the pressure for students to cheat. I must admit, the innovation these students have demonstrated is most impressive. The reality, however, is tradgic. What will happen if we continue to assess students for purposes other than guiding instruction? What will be the implicit lesson for students?

Tales from 4th Grade Teachers: My digital slideshow experiment
http://fourthgradeteachers.blogspot.com/2008/12/my-digital-slideshow-experiment.html
Tales from 4th Grade Teachers. Thursday, December 11, 2008. My digital slideshow experiment. I want to post this because I'm just tickled with the ease of Photostory3. I can see how it could be used in the classroom as another medium for literacy learning. It took me about an hour to put this together but I put one together for a class and that took 40 minutes. My 9 year old son did one with no training in 40 minutes. Can you tell who did which? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Ones Who Got Away.

Our Pre-service Experiences: December 2008
http://musingdebatingsecondguessing.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 2, 2008. Education Cuts in Washington State. I was mortified when I saw the governor's state budget cut proposal. Of $1,300,000,000. Wow! What does this mean in terms of existing schools? I knew that seven Seattle schools were on the chopping block, but does this budget cut mean than even more schools will close? Will teachers be laid off? What does this do to my chances of becoming a teacher? Posted by Mr. Parker. To correct spelling or not to correct spelling that is the question.

Our Pre-service Experiences: Can YOU fit through an index card?

Tuesday, November 25, 2008. Can YOU fit through an index card? December 1, 2008 at 11:33 AM. This is pretty crazy! I forgot about this trick. I think projects and assignment likes this are excellent for children. It makes them really think about it and want to solve it because it's a problem that can be related to real life experiences. Finding a way to always provide a good purpose for doing an assignment will keep students excited and motivated to learn more. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Our Pre-service Experiences: Using Tests for Assessment
http://musingdebatingsecondguessing.blogspot.com/2008/11/using-tests-for-assessment.html
Monday, November 24, 2008. Using Tests for Assessment. A master teacher has me and the other interns grade all tests and assignments, enter the scores into the grade book, and hand them back. The only way the teacher sees a student's work, is if the student approaches the teacher with a question relating to the assignment. This may make the teacher's workload lighter, but how can she know how well the students are doing? Has anyone else had this experience? Posted by Mr. Parker. The Ones Who Got Away.

Our Pre-service Experiences: Taking it to the streets...
http://musingdebatingsecondguessing.blogspot.com/2008/11/taking-it-to-streets.html
Wednesday, November 26, 2008. Taking it to the streets. In what ways can we assure ourselves of taking the good things we see into our own classrooms? I know the Sunshine daydreamer and I have experienced a very eye-opening look into the high quality of education that can exist via a private school- can we bring it into the public schools with at least 10 more students in our class and potentially less room for breathing and creativity? Is this question even answerable right now? The Ones Who Got Away.
