Digital Blog #D Chapters 4,9 & 11

As the semester is coming to an end, and though we still have a few more weeks to go, I have been reading through the book and as selected by the professor chapters 4 and 9 or 11, the concepts that i chose were: Student Learning Objectives, Teaching Goals, Methods, and Procedures (How to Teach), Student Performance Rubrics.

I chose Student Learning Objectives because I believe that sometimes some teachers just have no objective. They come to school just to get get paid and leave. They have no meaning in teaching and they are just there for the money. I think having an objective towards a class and a subject is a major factor of being a teacher.

The second concept that I chose was Teaching Goals, Methods and Procedures (How to teach). When I first started high school, i went to a school that I always thought teachers never really went to school. They just got lucky and passed the assessments needed to teach. Teachers should always have goals, and methods to work through these goals in teaching each student in the class.

Even to this day I use Student Performance Rubrics. They help you with your partners and also with your work. Rubrics allow you to understand see what you can't see with your own eyes, but with the eyes of another person. It is helpful to work with these rubrics because it gives students more ideas.

In other words, as a teacher you should always plan ahead and have an objective to what you're teaching and not just go for the money. Students that are in school are our future and we need to be able to teach them what they need to know.
