How To Teach With Technology
A wiki is a website that allows multiple users to add, edit, and modify content. Wikis are collaborative and dynamic as content can be changed over time by different authors. Teachers can use wikis for language learning by setting up a collaborative writing project for students on a free wiki site where they outline the topic and steps for students to take. Webquests are mini-research projects where students interact with online resources provided by the teacher to guide their learning on a topic. Main components of a webquest include an introduction, task, process, and evaluation. Teachers need research, analysis, and word processing skills to design effective webquests.

Steps to developing an advocacy plan
The document outlines 8 steps to developing an effective advocacy plan: 1) understand the issue thoroughly through research, 2) set specific and measurable goals, 3) identify supporters and target audiences, 4) form a coordinating committee, 5) determine clear key messages, 6) choose methods to disseminate the message, 7) create a timeline, and 8) implement the plan. Planning helps advocates avoid surprises, clarify goals and steps, and increase chances of success.
An introduction to advocacy
Advocacy is defined as the active promotion of a cause or principle through actions to achieve specific goals. It involves raising awareness and support for an issue and working to influence decisions. Advocacy differs from direct service work and does not necessarily involve confrontation, instead using strategies like education and partnership building to encourage others to take action. Examples show advocacy as developing plans and speaking to decision-makers, while service is hands-on help without seeking policy changes.
Stem basics plc training-Created by STEM Academy Leadership Team
Students will work collaboratively to build a bird nest using marshmallows and toothpicks that meets specific criteria. They must create a rectangular nest no taller than 3 inches that can hold a 5g clay ball and safely house an injured Brown Thrasher until it can be returned to the wild. To solve this problem, students will need background knowledge on rectangles, measurement, bird anatomy and habitats, and deforestation before designing, building, and measuring their nest to share with peers.
Characteristics of Great STE(A)M Lessons
The document describes 6 characteristics of great STE(A)M lessons:
1. They focus on real-world issues and problems.
2. They are guided by the engineering design process.
3. They immerse students in hands-on inquiry and open-ended exploration.
4. They involve students in productive teamwork.
5. They apply rigorous math and science content and hopefully integrate the arts.
6. They allow for multiple right answers and reframe failure as part of learning.
Stem plc training_1_final
This document discusses STEM education and what a STEM learning environment looks like. It begins by explaining that STEM is a philosophy that integrates science, technology, engineering, and math rather than an acronym. It then describes the components of a STEM learning environment, including students engaged in hands-on activities, collaboration, use of technology, and a structured organization. STEM learning experiences are explained as starting with content, asking questions to investigate global issues, demonstrating STEM practices, and solving real-world problems or design challenges. The teacher's role in STEM is as a facilitator who plans content and materials, monitors students, and conducts formative assessments.
Professional learning designs
The document discusses that professional learning for teachers is more than just workshops. It lists several alternative professional learning designs including book studies, lesson studies, critical friends, action research, learning circles, data teams, professional learning networks on social media, peer observations, collaborative scoring, and professional reading. It encourages the reader to learn more about these professional learning designs in the book "Professional Development: What Works".
Teaching Procedures and Building Classroom Community
This document discusses establishing routines and building community in the first weeks of school. It emphasizes creating a warm, inclusive environment and teaching classroom routines and procedures through interactive modeling. Visuals and practice are important for teaching procedures. Building a collaborative culture involves teaching partner and group work skills through small challenges. Students should self-assess their teamwork skills and make plans for improvement.
An introduction to creative problem solving
This document introduces the concept of Creative Problem Solving (CPS), which is a framework developed by Alex Osborn and Sidney Parnes to apply creative thinking processes to solve problems. The CPS method involves 6 sequential steps - objective finding, fact finding, problem finding, idea finding, solution finding, and acceptance finding - with an emphasis on divergent and convergent thinking. Examples of CPS tasks are provided to illustrate how it can be applied in classroom settings to teach both content and creative problem-solving skills.
History in focus
1) The document discusses using images to teach literacy skills in social studies. It explains how images can help students visualize concepts and aid in writing descriptions.
2) Several reasons are given for why images are important in learning, including faster brain processing of visuals and increased recall and knowledge retention when images are used.
3) A variety of strategies are presented for analyzing images, such as noting adjectives, nouns, verbs to describe what is seen and generating questions students may have. This helps students closely examine images and develop critical thinking.
3rd grade Quarter 2 preview
This document provides a preview of the 3rd grade social studies curriculum for the second quarter. It will cover three units focusing on Paul Revere, Frederick Douglass, and Susan B. Anthony. Students will learn about these historical figures who expanded civil rights and how they demonstrated character traits like courage and leadership. Teachers will use resources like biographies, images, charts and creative writing assignments to help students understand these figures and the time periods.
4th grade q2 preview
This document provides a preview of the 4th grade social studies curriculum for the 2nd quarter. It will cover Early Explorers for 4 weeks and Colonization for 5 weeks. For Early Explorers, students will learn about explorers like Columbus, Cabot, and Cartier, their reasons for exploration, obstacles faced, and interactions with native peoples. For Colonization, students will examine life in the New England, Mid-Atlantic, and Southern colonies, including economic activities and the impact of geography. Various resources like atlases, readers, and economic history materials will be used to teach the standards and engage students.
School culture healthy toxicchange
A healthy school culture is characterized by a shared sense of purpose among faculty, staff, students and community. There is a focus on continuous learning and collaboration, with staff taking responsibility for student learning. In contrast, a toxic school culture is fragmented, with a sense of depression and low expectations. Staff blame factors outside their control for student lack of learning. Changing the culture requires collaboration, developing a clear mission and goals, focusing on learning, strong leadership, and celebrating accomplishments through persistence.
Individual barriers to change
Individual barriers to change include economic insecurity from potential job or salary impacts, fear of the unknown and new relationships, habit of sticking to tradition, failure to see the need for change without data justification, and distrust of the person proposing the change instead of someone well-liked and respected. Leaders must address these fears by connecting change to familiar things, building new relationships, justifying needs, and selecting trusted change agents.
Are Leaders Born or Made?
This document discusses two theories on whether leaders are born or made:
1. Leadership trait theory suggests that leaders are born with certain innate qualities and traits. However, it does not account for how leadership may vary based on the situation.
2. Behavioral theory of leadership proposes that anyone can become an effective leader through learning key behaviors, such as initiating structure and consideration. It is based on research finding that a leader's behavior best predicts their influence and success. However, no single leadership style is appropriate for all situations. The most effective leaders can adapt their behavior to different contexts.

Differentiation tiering
This document provides information about differentiated instruction through tiering. It defines differentiation as responsive teaching that varies approaches based on student needs, learning styles, and abilities. Tiering is described as providing parallel tasks at varied levels of complexity, depth, and abstractness to accommodate differences in student readiness and performance levels. Examples are given of how to tier graphic organizers, resources, and tasks to meet the range of student needs in a classroom. The goal of tiering is to challenge all students at their appropriate level and encourage continued growth.
Milos journey textcomplexity&mindsets
This document presents information from Betsey Kennedy-Olotka's presentation on using The Phantom Tollbooth to teach reading and develop growth mindsets. It discusses The Phantom Tollbooth as a complex text and examines the differences between growth and fixed mindsets. The presentation provides strategies for teachers to model a growth mindset and help students understand effort and the malleability of intelligence. These strategies include using character studies from The Phantom Tollbooth, organizing quote galleries and effort award systems, and emphasizing that success results from effort rather than innate ability.
Complex texts thebumpyroadofreading
This document summarizes key ideas about reading complex texts from multiple sources. It discusses how removing struggle from reading may have hindered achievement and how complex texts require willingness to probe ideas, uninterrupted thinking, and deep thinking. It also outlines the Common Core's emphasis on reading complex texts independently, and describes a three-part model for measuring text complexity based on qualitative and quantitative analysis.
Common formative assessments -sope creek
This document discusses common formative assessments and their benefits. It defines common formative assessments as short, collaboratively designed assessments administered to all students in a grade level or course. The benefits listed are that they provide regular feedback to teachers to guide instruction and meet diverse student needs, and promote consistency and agreed-upon proficiency levels across classrooms. The document provides guidance on the characteristics and design of effective common formative assessments.

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
