Jack4147 Mar 18, 2024, 10:28 PM"2/2 hours ✅212 OK I’m hopping back on the saddle. What I’ve been trying to do these past couple months is finish the program faster. What I’ve noticed is I’ve begun to trade speed for actually learning the language. I’ve been finishing the lessons but I don’t even feel confident enough to speak the new material. It wasn’t like this before. There’s no way to learn it fast. I just need to grind it out. It’s a slow and painful process but I was learning it before a lot better, I was speaking what I was using, internalizing it and everything. Ahh kind of painful now because I definitely need to go back to the point where I made this change a couple months ago and really do a deep dive and really solidify it. Its kind of a review in the sense that I’m not technically learning new material but its definitely feeling like the past two months of this experiment were a waste of time. Freak it, learn and live. Lets go"View my Commitment

DebbieBlau Mar 18, 2024, 7:57 PM"🧑🏫🇬🇧🧑🏫 Um mein Ziel noch etwas näher zu beschreiben: Ich werde ab heute für insgesamt zehn Tage jeden Tag mit der Speak-App üben. Ich mache die Challenge, weil es mir erstens ganz einfach Spaß macht, ich dadurch zweitens meine Englisch-Skills auf ein etwas höheres Level heben will als sie im Moment sind - ganz besonders beim spontanen Sprechen und auch meiner Aussprache allgemein -, drittens will ich mir dadurch ein Erfolgserlebnis schaffen (sodass ich einen Grund habe, mich zu freuen und auch ein bisschen stolz auf mich zu sein), und viertens wird es meinen Lern-Alltag ganz einfach ein bisschen auflockern und aufpeppen! Damit ich meine Challenge auch wirklich bis zum Ende durchziehe, lege ich mir hier in der StickK-App einen Contract an und protokolliere meinen Erfolg (oder Misserfolg) täglich morgens darin für den vergangenen Tag. Außerdem schreibe ich es täglich mit meinem Häfft-Timer auf und ich habe mir mit der Canva-App eine Datei erstellt, in der ich die 10 Tage abhaken und evtl. am Ende meiner Challenge eine Zusammenfassung des Lernstoffs schreiben kann - dafür werde ich dann die Penly-App verwenden.... Außerdem habe ich in meinem neuen Study Journal für Englisch entsprechende Seiten eingerichtet, also eine, auf der ich die Tage abhaken werde und außerdem mehrere Seiten, auf denen ich dann meine "Lernergebnisse" festhalte - mir also Notizen zum gelernten Stoff mache. Zusätzlich zur Arbeit mit der Speak-App will ich auch noch täglich mindestens einen Artikel in einer Spotlight-Ausgabe oder der Zeit Sprachen-App bearbeiten bzw. eine Übung daraus machen oder Ähnliches."View my Commitment

abateman01 Mar 17, 2024, 12:20 PM"a. Graduation Mindset b. The graduation rate of the school I work at was 84% in 2021, 79% in 2022, and 80% in 2023. This rate may be low because of students dropping out to get their GEd, work for their family business (which is very common here with trades jobs and the latino population), or because of students having no desire to graduate. I think our graduation rate is an accurate representation of our school morale. About 80% have the drive to graduate and 20% do not. I know there are many students who go to school for legal reasons and that is it. For our students in poverty, or low income, they want to get a job as soon as they can, and for some that means being in the 9th grade with a full time job after school. I have a 12th grader who opens at Starbucks, comes to school, then sometimes even returns to Starbucks after school to close. It takes a very special kind of student for me to feel okay with them not going to college or entering a career path after high school. I remember my first year teaching and asking my seniors what they were doing after graduation. I was astonished at how many said they did not know, and why none of their teachers/counselors asked them this question a year ago and helped them make a decision. c. It’s a mindset that says, “At our school, every teacher is totally committed to helping students succeed. In fact, I would go so far as to say, ‘We simply won’t let them fail.’” 5 Major Building Blocks: 1. A culture of high expectations and caring for students. 2. A safe and positively disciplined environment. 3. A strong instructional school leader. 4. Hard-working committed and able teachers. 5. A curriculum focused on academic achievement that emphasizes basic skills in mathematics and literacy. 5 Core Practices: 1. Protected Instructional Time. 2. Ongoing, actionable, and diagnostic assessment. 3. Parents as partners in learning. 4. Professional development to improve student achievement. 5. Strong collaboration among teachers and staff. d. “Link the content: Use classroom content areas to talk about professions. For example, for high school science, media arts, language, or mathematics classes, mention jobs that require mastery of these subjects (biologist, graphic designer, translator, and engineer). Keep sharing the occupations that tie into the class you teach. You can even get your students involved in this by having them do a little research into the careers and applications your teaching content extends to.” I implement this all the time in my teaching. I will say “artists do this,” “art historians will say this,” “arts administrators organize this,” and “museum curators will analyze this.” First, I think it helps students see that visual art is more than just “being good at drawing.” Students see more value in the discipline and realize it is much more and could involve more than the artmaking process but the appreciation of it too. In Art 1, mostly 9th and 10th grade, I will have the students do a art career research project involved a deep dive into the website for The Art Career Project. They will find a field in visual art, applied art, art studies, fine art, culinary, drama, etc. that interest them and create a poster that will be displayed in the hallway. I even keep some for our freshman orientation. I love seeing all my students’ reactions to being surprised of how many careers in art there are, and how many say they did not consider this career and are interested in it now. "View my Commitment

DebbieBlau Mar 14, 2024, 2:39 PM"🧑🏫🏳️🌈🧑🏫 Da in der Zwischenzeit mein Handy den Geist aufgab, konnte ich meinen 10-Day-English-Shot nicht genau so weiterführen und beenden, wie ich es geplant hatte. Deshalb starte ich heute einen neuen 14-Day-English-Shot!! 😀😅 Um mein Ziel noch etwas näher zu beschreiben: Ich werde ab heute für insgesamt vierzehn Tage jeden Tag mit der Speak-App üben. Wenn ich an einem Tag wenig Zeit habe oder es mir nicht gut geht oder so, "darf" ich auch "nur ein bisschen" was machen, dann muss es also nicht so lange sein. Ich will es aber unbedingt vermeiden, meine Aufgabe nicht zu erfüllen - nur wenn es aus irgendeinem Grund an einem Tag wirklich gar nicht gehen sollte, will ich einen Tag aussetzen. Ich mache die Challenge, weil es mir erstens ganz einfach Spaß macht, ich dadurch zweitens meine Englisch-Skills auf ein etwas höheres Level heben will als sie im Moment sind - ganz besonders beim spontanen Sprechen und auch meiner Aussprache allgemein -, drittens will ich mir dadurch ein Erfolgserlebnis schaffen (sodass ich einen Grund habe, mich zu freuen und auch ein bisschen stolz auf mich zu sein), und viertens wird es meinen Lern-Alltag ganz einfach ein bisschen auflockern und aufpeppen!

abateman01 Mar 13, 2024, 7:40 PM"a. Rich Classroom Climate Mindset b. I would say the difference between classroom climate and classroom culture is the overall feeling in the room and the actions that are done to achieve it. They both work hand-in-hand. If the climate is positive, positive actions will follow resulting in a positive culture. If the culture is negative, the climate will feel negative. Achieving a positive climate and culture does not mean always saying yes to your students or allowing them to make their own choices all the time. It means making decisions as the teacher that are best for your students’ success and communicating those decisions. If the teacher is making strong decisions for the students, the students will feel safe and have more value for their education. For the most part, my students come from low income families, wealthy students are the minority. Because of this, my school has a lot of resources that help students in need. c. “Some believe that class climate is an aggregate of everything, including relationship formation, instruction, cooperative learning, discipline strategies, curriculum, expectations, and engagement.” “Some believe that class climate is an aggregate of everything, including relationship formation, instruction, cooperative learning, discipline strategies, curriculum, expectations, and engagement.” “Your students want to know “What’s in it for me?” Relevance is everything to your students. If their brain does not buy into classroom learning, it is not changing.” d. I have implemented the relevance strategy in my classroom and will continue to do so in the future. One thing I did differently at the start of the semester was have my students research the benefits of taking an art class. We looked into the benefits of the psychological concept of “flow” and how to achieve it by concentrating on an artwork. Students found out benefits of art such as fine motor skills, critical thinking, exercising the creativity part of the brain, happiness, relaxation, connection to the world, the list goes on. After my students found out for themselves the benefits of art, the level of engagement strengthened. I still have some students that are not interested, however, they are still working in class because they look around and see their peers are interested. "View my Commitment

abateman01 Mar 13, 2024, 1:41 AM"a. Relational mindset b. I feel blessed to have had good relationships with most of my teachers. I remember Mrs. Schlereth, my 1st and 2nd grade teacher for how she helped me be creative. I wrote a story in her class, illustrated, and even physically stapled it together. I remember being so proud of it and my classmates as well. It’s crazy, but I am still friends with a couple people who were in those classes with me, because of the relationships she helped us build with each other. We were a team. I could write a book about her class. My art teacher in elementary school, Mrs. Whildin, instilled in me my passion for making art. She saw my potential and ensured I kept it in my life. I wish very much to be able to tell them both where I am today, a teacher just like them. My students today are very special to me. Because of my strong teachers I had as a kid, I feel I am better equipped to be able to create relationships with my students. When I look out at my class, I feel connected. I allow my students to be themselves because I want them to have a safe space in school. Providing a safe space means I am asking them about their day, I will share about my day, about my interests and ask about theirs. This school has children with harsh lives with real, adult issues, such as poverty. A new insight I received from the assessment is if I feel empathy for my impoverished students. I genuinely do not know how to describe the emotion I feel for them. I do not feel pity. I feel care, support, hope, and determination to help them feel important and to provide them with the resources they need to have a bright future. c. “Your students will care about academics as soon as you care about them.” “The research tells us that relationships mean more to students who have instability at home than to students who have a stable, two-parent foundation.” "Many teachers struggle to find a separation between their personal and teacher lives. However, all students, especially those from poverty, love the idea of goals." d. I love the part where Jensen says to not let the kids in until you say their name correctly. I know some students may roll their eyes, but this gives me more ideas for ways to engage with them at the door, ways to get a smile out of them. A strategy I would love to implement is “Interviews: Give students two to three minutes in pairs to interview each other and discover something that no one can forget. Each pair stands, then asks students to introduce each other, allowing about one minute per pair.” I could turn this into a learning lesson as well. Have students research an artist who created portraits, or a female Renaissance artist, and have them interview each other about why they chose them, what they learned, what they like about them, etc. A way to learn but also get to know one another.

Next week I will be focusing more on getting the 5 tasks done, and do 10h of golden work, instead of having 40h of work total. My biggest problems are: Work load vs Learn Amount, we have so much filler home work - time draining with nothing to learn. And Lean Success Rate - when I have to relearn something 5 times, then I did not learn it. This week was good.
