20 Inspiring Reasons Why You Love to TeachEdutopia
We were so inspired by our audience's responses to a quote on Edutopia's Facebook page, we collected twenty of our favorites as a reminder for why teaching is such an amazing and worthwhile profession.
Fostering interaction and engagement continues to be a primary concern in the digital classroom. This session explores two models of leveraging pedagogical support staff to improve course design as well as student retention, engagement, and performance. First, initially established at CU Boulder for talented students interested in STEM education, the Learning Assistant model hires undergraduates to assist faculty in redesigning and teaching courses. Second, the CU Denver School of Education and Human Development (SEHD) leverages graduate students from its own Instructional Learning Technologies (ILT) program to partner with faculty in co-constructing the online student experience. This session reveals how these partnerships encourage instructors to stretch their own ideas and notions, reexamine their courses, create alternative student spaces for learning, and emphasize collaboration.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. A checklist sent
home to parents
during the schools
Open House to
ensure student
success
4. A flyer put
together by
Mrs. DuBois to
simplify what
Common Core
is and how to
support it at home
5. Lesson Plan
• Reading- Why is school important? (Students read Curious George at
School)
• Writing- Are, Can, Have (Students worked in workbooks Florida Common Core
Journeys!)
• Math- Addition (Students did “Dino-Mite Math” which is a timed activity to
increase speed and accuracy in basic math. They have one minute to do 20 math
problems. They also had a math lesson out of the Go Math! Florida textbook)
• Social Studies- Citizenship (Students went to library for lesson given by
librarian)
• Science- 5 Senses (Students completed a computer program from
BrainPop.com discussing their five senses)
6. Learning about
Graphs on the
reading Carpet
Mrs. DuBois utilized her
reading area to bring the
children in close to discuss
graphs and graph making.
She chose to use the reading
area instead of staying at
their desks and using the
smart board because she
wanted to mix it up so that
they could get out of their
seats. She uses different
teaching techniques to keep
the children interested.
7. Reading Area
She used different book
covers to make a bulletin
board for her reading area.
The books are located
underneath and next to this
board. She has this board
positioned so that as soon as
you walk into the classroom
you see the “Welcome” sign.
This helps the students to
feel welcome into her
classroom.
8. Classroom View
Mrs. Dubois has a lot of
posters hanging on her walls.
Some of these posters
include sight words, simple
additions, classrooms
expectations, and other
topics that they will be or
currently are studying. She
updates her boards
throughout the year to make
sure they children stay
motivated.
9. Interview with Mrs. DuBois
What is your philosophy of teaching? Did it change over the years of teaching experience?
“My focus is on early childhood development and doing whatever is necessary for that development. Of course
my philosophy has changed because our curriculum is made by the state legislature and we have to teach what
they want us to teach. Also, our philosophy has to change as teachers to meet the needs of the students. I would
love more time to create and explore my lessons in greater depth.”
What effective classroom management strategies do you utilize with your students?
“I am a huge fan of Bev Boss’s theory of conscious discipline. She is based out of Roseville, CA. Another professor I
admire used to teach at UCF and I’m not sure if she is still there, Becky Bailey, she was also a believer in this idea of
conscious discipline. I like to do anything to make them own their behavior and understand why they should or
shouldn’t do something, not just bark at them without explaining myself.”
What forms of accommodations so you make to respect cultural/ faith diversity, exceptionalities,
and language differences in your students?
“I have ESOL training and use a technique called language acquisition. I do a lot of modeling and pausing to ensure
that they understand what I am saying. I reach out to the parents and let them know that we are a team and make
sure that they are involved. We focus on what they know instead of what they don’t know. As for holidays, we
don’t celebrate any specific holidays. Instead, we celebrate seasons and do things like pumpkin centers, apple
centers, fall celebrations, and in the spring, we have a multi-cultural day when everyone is invited to attend and
share their culture. Also, I never say ‘parents’, or ‘mom’ or ‘dad’, I say ‘grown -up at home’ because a lot of children
don’t have the common nuclear family.”
What forms of technology do you use with your students in the classroom to enhance your teaching
and your students learning?
“I use Brain Pop Jr., an activity called Activote, that is kind of like a quizzing game, I have the Smart Board, and all
of the material that comes with the textbooks. Everything is online now.”
What advice do you have for future teachers?
“Be passionate!! You will want to start out by saving the world and it will soon just become a job. Don ’t lose sight
of why you wanted to be a teacher. Rewards take time, but you will have students that appreciate you. Don’t get
consumed by test scores. Be real with the kids, they want honesty. And of course, have fun and enjoy it!”
11. My Reflections…..
• I really enjoyed this assignment because it helped me to
realize the importance of a mentor in this field. Mr. Dubois
taught me the importance of hidden curriculum because she
really wants to ensure that her students are learning more
than the alphabet and addition. Although I prefer a
Progressivism teaching style, her classroom was an
Essentialism style classroom because of the curriculum she is
forced to teach. She taught me how to work with children
that have alternative families and the importance of not
alienating them but including them properly. Each student has
a different learning style and it is important not only to notice
these styles, but to alter your teaching to ensure that each
student is able to learn accordingly.
12. Accountability is very important not only as an educator but to
teach the students as well. Another interesting part of
education that I learned to appreciate more is bilingual
education. It is important for students to learn two languages
because in our fast paces world, they will need it in the future.
Another important aspect for students to learn is currently
being taught in Green Schools and it is the idea of preservation
and sustainability. These ideas are being taught in normal
schools, but not as much as in the green schools. It is important
for children to learn these qualities because it will make them
better people.
