Everyone learns at different pace and in different ways. As educators we need to be able to facilitate individualized instruction to reach each of our students. This weeks readings focused on creating individualized instruction so that we can teach all students and not just a select few.
Three Connections to Student Teaching
Throughout student teaching I will need to provide individual instruction or differentiated instruction to be able to connect to that student. Each one of my students will learn in a different way. We do not teach widgets. Students all have different ways of thinking and storing information into their brains. I need to provide differentiated instruction in order to maximize the learning in the classroom. To be successful, I will need to present the essential concepts in multiple ways for all students to grasp an understanding of the concept.
Two Connections to #TeachAgJourney
Throughout this journey we have been told that Penn State does not teach widgets and neither will we. The staff wants to give individualized instruction to all of us so we can be better served for our futures in this career. I remember that in a few of my classes in this journey there has been times where the faculty had offered individual instruction to help us understand the material. We are also giving opportunities that may be individualized to help us grow as educators throughout our journey here at Penn State.
One Triangulated Connection
In an article published by We Are Teachers the author talks about providing different ways of teaching a concept and having the students choose how they show what they know.
