Schwabb's 4 Commonplaces

Topic

Teacher

Reflective practice: the hallmark of what makes teaching a "profession" and not a "job"

The importance of educational psychology: how do people learn?

Establishing a Positive Learning Environment

"Expectations" over "Rules": I prefer setting up classroom "expectations" rather than laying out "rules" as I believe expectations are more friendly and imply a sense of responsibility for both the students and teacher

Dynamic Classroom Management: Teachers must set up a multifaceted, proactive approach to ensure the classroom is a calm, safe, and welcoming environment for all students

Assessment FOR Learning

Cognitive, Behavioural, Social, and Constructivist Theory

Behavioural Approach: Represents the "old school," carrot and stick type classroom/behavioural management approach. In my experience, these are ineffective and treat students as units that are meant to fall in line rather than complex human beings.

Behaviourism: Use of negative reinforcement is less effective than positive reinforcement

Constructivism: Acknowledging that students have their own prior knowledge and preconceptions about how the world works. Relevant for science as these preconceptions may be misconceptions, which are hard to displace with factual information.

E.g. Misconceptions about basics of photosynthesis among MIT graduates
