UDL Action & Expression Graphic Organizer Course Reflection Activity

Educators are encouraged to focus on teaching students how to think rather than merely what to think. One effective strategy for fostering critical thinking is the See, Think, Wonder approach, which involves asking students what they observe, what it makes them wonder, and what they think about it.

The Solar System is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly. Of the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest are the eight planets, with the remainder being smaller objects, the dwarf planets, and small Solar System bodies.

Fully guided instruction/Direct instruction

Research shows learners learn best with a fully guided approach. Clear objectives should be specified with constant feedback. A Teachers should first teach using modeling, then have students help you by giving examples. Finally when students are ready they can work on their own. It's important teachers walk around and check for understanding during independent work.

Uranus is an oddball. It has clouds made of hydrogen sulfide, the same chemical that makes rotten eggs smell so foul.

It rotates from east to west like Venus. Its tilt causes extreme seasons that last 20-plus years, and the sun beats down on one pole or the other for 84 Earth-years at a time.

Methane in the atmosphere gives Uranus its blue-green tint. It also has 13 sets of faint rings.

Writing behavioral objectives

As a teacher, I'll have the behavior objective written on the board and review it. This helps students understand the purpose of the lesson plan.

Condition

"How" of clinical teaching model.

Behavior

"Who" of clinical teaching model.

Content

''What" of clinical teaching model.

Criteria of Performance

Reference point for achievement.

Lesson development

A lesson plan should consist of:

  1. learning outcomes/ behavior objectives.
  2. anticipatory set
  3. teaching presentation:
  4. model
  5. share
  6. guide
  7. checking for understanding
  8. closure
  9. independent practice
  10. assessment plan

How long does it take for Uranus to go around the sun?

Designing UDL lesson goals with flexible means

Provide content in many formats. Students learn in different ways so its important to stay flexible.

A planet's day is the time it takes the planet to rotate or spin once on its axis.

Write down Uranus's day measured in Earth days.

Lesson analysis (Microteaching assignment)

We were able to unpack Mr. Garcia's lesson plan. I realized how often CFUs should be used as well as how Mr. Garcia was able to catch his students attention.

Uranus has 27 moons that we know of. Five of the moons are large and the rest are much smaller.

Name these 5 moons.

The Myth of Averages

The myth that one size fits all is flawed. Each student is unique and learns in various ways. It's important for educators to have different teaching strategies for the different learning methods of students. As a teacher I need to be aware of the different ways my student learn. I'll try to stay clear from text-book instruction. I'll make sure to incorporate different tools and resources in my lesson plan.

Neptune is about the size of Uranus and is known for supersonic strong winds.

Neptune is far out and cold.
The planet is more than 30 times as far from the sun as Earth.

Neptune was the first planet predicted to exist by using math, before it was visually detected. Neptune is about 17 times as massive as Earth and has a rocky core.

Universal Design for Learning

Both teachers and student's have a say in how students learn. Provide different options and allow freedom to choose between these options. Its important for a teacher to be familiar with their student's interests. Teachers should then incorporate different learning methods and resources so a child may learn. As a teacher I plan on incorporating UDL Principles to make sure my students are actively engaged and interested in the learning process.

It was once considered a planet but in August 2006 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of “dwarf planet.”

Pluto is unlike other planets in many respects. It is smaller than Earth's moon; its orbit is highly elliptical.

It's a cold, rocky world with a tenuous atmosphere. Pluto is a very active ice world that's covered in glaciers, mountains of ice water, icy dunes, and possibly even cryovolcanoes that erupt icy lava made of water, methane or ammonia.

UDL Principles

Goal is for all learners to become "expert learners."

The dwarf planet Pluto has five moons.


Name these moons.

Action & Expression

Provide multiple means of expression. For example, give freedom options in ways they can demonstrate what they learned. They can create a poster, write a word document, or make a movie clip.

Engagement

It's important to keep students engaged by connecting their interests to the learning objective.

Representation

Provide different methods when teaching. Some students may be visual learners so a video should be incorporated. Some students may learn better hands-on so an engaging activity should be provided.

Barriers to traditional education

It's important to never assume the lack of knowledge is the fault of the child. Knowledge is caused by environmental factors.

Classroom Management

Keeps the lesson flowing without constant interruption and having to stop the lesson.

Venus is Earth's twin in size and has no moons.
Its surface has various mountains and volcanoes. Because of its thick, toxic atmosphere that's made of sulfuric acid clouds, Venus is an extreme example of the greenhouse effect. The average temperature on Venus' surface is 900 F (465 C).
Venus spins slowly from east to west, the opposite direction to most of the other planets.

The Greeks believed Venus was two different objects — one in the morning sky and another in the evening. Because it is often brighter than any other object in the sky, Venus has generated many UFO reports.

Attention Continuum and Surface Management techniques: Frameworks for Maintaining the Flow of Teaching

Minimize distraction using different techniques. There are different attention techniques and surface management techniques teachers can use to keep the class flow going. There are certain techniques teachers should implement and avoid. Praise and Winning strategies are subtle and effective ways to manage a classroom. Strategies such as sarcasm or punishment should be avoided. When I become a teacher I will try my best to keep my students engaged and motivated using Winning strategies rather than desist strategies.

A planet's day is the time it takes the planet to rotate or spin once on its axis.

Write down Venus's day measured in Earth days.

The Role of Socio Emotional Learning on Classroom Management

Building connections and positive relationships with students goes a long way. Positive and negative relationships with students make a huge impact on children. I remember positive teachers that went above and beyond their duties. Similarly, I remember teachers that had a negative impact on me. As a teacher I plan on being a positive and influential one.

Incorporating Critical/Higher Level Thinking into Lesson Design

Bloom's and DOK levels of understanding should be incorporated into a lesson plan to create a higher level of thinking. I was able to use both Bloom's and DOK to write my learning objectives in the Unit Design. Both strategies ensure my students aim for higher level thinking. For example in my lesson plans students had to create and develop projects to demonstrate their understanding of the lesson plan. I realized that by the 6th grade my students should aim at higher levels of understanding rather than simply remembering facts.

Saturn is known most for its rings.

Galileo Galilei first thought it was an object with three parts: a planet and two large moons on either side.
Not knowing he was seeing a planet with rings, the stumped astronomer entered a small drawing — a symbol with one large circle and two smaller ones — in his notebook.

The rings are made of ice and rock and scientists are not yet sure how they formed. The gaseous planet is mostly hydrogen and helium.

Depth of Knowledge (DOK)

Saturn has over 150 moons and satellites. However, of these vast numbers of moons, only 62 are known and confirmed as moons.

Name at least 5 of these moons.

Principles of Cooperative Learning

Cooperative learning gives students a chance to learn by engaging with classmates. Certain guidelines should be followed rather than just releasing students into groups. Roles should be assigned and the teacher should establish a procedure. I plan on using cooperative learning in my classroom to keep students engaged. Students will be give the freedom to choose their role. This gives students a voice in the classroom.

Common goal

The entire group should work towards common objectives. Teachers should provide the goal at the beginning of the instruction.

Cooperative

Students are engaged and working together.

Structured

Guidelines and expectations should be established by the teacher.

Assesment

Formative assessments should be used rather than summative assessments. Formative assessment gives student feedback and different options for them to demonstrate their understanding of the area being tested.

Summative Assessment

I will try my best to avoid these assessments as a teacher. Students may not know what they're being tested and will feel frustrated. They have no say on what and how they're being tested on. Students cant go back and reflect on areas of improvement,

Used for grading and promotion
Administered at the end
Measures student competence
Formative Assessment

I plan on using this type of assessment in my classroom because it keeps students engaged and interested. Students are given a rubric and instructions rather than blindly being tested. Assessments are given throughout the lesson rather than one big test at the end of the unit. I prefer this assessment because students have a say in their assessment.

Ongoing assesment

Critical/Higher Level Visible Thinking Routines

It's important to teach our students how to think rather than what to think. As a teacher, it's my job to help my students become better thinkers. There are different approaches to application of critical thinking but I plan on using the See, Think, Wonder approach.

Wonder

What did it make you wonder?

Think

What do you think?

See

What do you see?

Neuro-Education/Brain Compatible Teaching

Converting data and information into long term memories. Two methods I plan on using is; teaching to a classmate and engaging through story telling. The activities in class helped me realize how we are able to convert information to long term memories by simply explaining what we read.

Earth is a water world, with two-thirds of the planet covered by oceans.

It's the only world known to harbor life.

Earth's atmosphere is rich in nitrogen and oxygen.

Its name originates from 'Die Erde,' the German word for 'the ground.'
Earth may once have had two moons, nowadays it has just one.

Brain Compatible Instructional Strategies

There are different strategies we can use to process our information into a long-term memory. The best way to learn something is by Reciprocal Teaching, If students are expecting to teach the lesson, they will stay actively engaged. Other strategies that are effective are storytelling and using different types of visuals.

How long does it take for Earth to go around the sun?

Graphic Organizers

Webs, or concept maps to help organize information. In graphic organizers we are able to see relationships to more easily understand and remember information. This assignment is a perfect example of a graphic organizer.

A planet's day is the time it takes the planet to rotate or spin once on its axis.

Write down the Earth's day in hours.

Mnemonic Strategies

Relates new information to prior knowledge.

Our Solar System has eight “official” planets which orbit the Sun.

Each planet is at a different distance from the sun. Name its position.
