GT Parent Meeting 3rd-5th
This document summarizes a GT parent meeting held by Mrs. Rachel Conger on October 4, 2012. The meeting discussed characteristics of gifted children, the GT program goals and curriculum, and ways to support gifted students at home. Parents learned about the GT class schedule, units of study focusing on systems thinking and structures, and developing talents and responsibilities. Communication between teachers and parents is emphasized to help gifted children succeed.
Topic 4 Media and Materials
Real objects, manipulatives, and hands-on materials can provide engaging learning experiences for students. They help students move beyond merely verbal learning to apply concepts in a real-world context. Models, mock-ups, and other representations also stimulate inquiry while safely representing complex systems. Printed materials remain a foundation for instruction but must be integrated thoughtfully to support all learners.
British council resources i
This document contains resources and guidelines for various roles involved in the LINGUAVENTURAS ESL Project from SED. It outlines the functions of cooperantes (teachers), shared functions for organizing resources and student data, and functions of support teachers. It provides guidance on lesson planning, assessment, methodology, and improving language proficiency. Other sections discuss suitable classroom tasks for different age groups, methods for presenting vocabulary, and tips for giving clear instructions and providing feedback to teachers to improve their practice.
Interactive Learning Techniques
Here are some guidelines for using buzz groups effectively:
- Clearly explain the task or question for groups to discuss before breaking students into groups.
- Circulate among groups to supervise discussions, encouraging students and helping if they encounter difficulties.
- Manage the feedback session concisely once groups have discussed, such as having one group present fully then others add only new ideas.
- Assign slightly different but related tasks to each group to motivate them and give each a special responsibility in the discussion.
- Organize structured feedback so each group contributes ideas in an orderly way, such as allowing one point per group at a time.
The guidelines help students stay on task in their discussions and manage an orderly reporting of
Learning styles
This document discusses the three main learning styles: auditory, visual, and bodily-kinesthetic. Auditory learners benefit from discussions, debates, and listening activities. Visual learners learn best through seeing and using visuals like pictures, diagrams, and videos. Bodily-kinesthetic learners understand through physical movement and hands-on activities. Literacy coaches can help teachers incorporate strategies to engage students from all three learning styles, such as modeling visual instructional techniques or co-teaching kinesthetic lessons. Addressing different learning styles enhances student learning.
Understandingpresentationjuly52013

Visualizing
1. Visualizing involves creating mental images of what is being read, which can help strengthen comprehension. Proficient readers will visualize before, during, and after reading.
2. When visualizing, readers draw on their background knowledge and experiences to conjure images rooted in the text details. This helps readers gain deeper understanding.
3. Teachers can help students develop visualization skills by having them describe images and sensations aloud, look at pictures related to the text, or listen to audio descriptions and discuss what they envision.

1. Visualizing involves creating mental images of what is being read, which can help strengthen comprehension. Proficient readers will visualize before, during, and after reading.
2. When visualizing, readers draw from their own experiences and background knowledge to imagine details and develop a deeper understanding of the text. They adjust their mental images as new information is encountered.
3. Teachers can encourage visualization by having students describe their mental images out loud or through sketches, and by using techniques like read-alouds, photos, and music to spark visual thinking.

Teachlearn course book
This document introduces the Teach | Learn student created content course book. It discusses that traditional textbooks are ineffective because they do not allow students to actively participate in creating the curriculum from which they will learn. The book aims to guide both teachers and students towards a more participatory and creative classroom where students are motivated through creating their own content and documenting their own learning. Student created content or SCC is defined as content created by students, which makes the teaching and learning process more simplified and equalizes the power relationship between teacher and learner. The three basic stages for using Teach | Learn are getting started by engaging students, having students create the content, and providing extension activities to support language learning.

Visual Literacy: Fostering Creativity through Digital Photography and Creativ...
Visual literacy is defined as making meaning from images which fuels creativity, critical thinking, and intrinsic writing. The presenter uses photographs taken by students to inspire creative writing without prompts. This creates authentic motivation. Creativity is a messy process that requires patience and sitting with ideas to find connections and "aha" moments. Imagination and risk-taking are encouraged with the idea that there are no wrong answers in a creative task. Students are instructed to take photos, choose one that speaks to them, and create their own writing prompt from the image.
Singing Across the Curriculum
This document provides examples of using songs and humor to teach mathematical concepts. It suggests incorporating students' favorite songs into lessons by modifying lyrics to explain formulas, proofs, and other math ideas. Examples are given of songs modified to teach order of operations, dividing fractions, and atoms. Teachers are encouraged to make songs simple, short, repetitive, and fun to help students better retain information. The document also contains math jokes and links to video examples of songs used in math lessons.
