Behavior Management, Integrative Lesson and Scheduling Mini-Lessons


BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT

The Students were introduced to the concept of Behavior Management as a last topic of discussion before they get ready to create their mini-lessons beginning next week.

Behavior Management tips were shared through two links.




We watch this video in order to illustrate how a teacher may manage his/her classroom the first day of class. Mr. Taylor's style is not the only possible way to manage the classroom, but his organizational skills can be a good start for someone who has never taught in a classroom before.
 
INTEGRATED LESSON PLAN TEMPLATES

We continued by sharing a link on different templates on how to integrate the arts into the general curriculum so that students have a reference to start writing the lesson the will be teaching beginning next week.

    Existential Phenomenological Classroom: Story Telling

    Image
    The students were introduced to the concept of existential phenomenology . We discussed other importance concepts related to the subject. Bellow, there are presented some of the ideas that frame the existential phenomenological approach as a viable epistemological model to apply in the classroom. CONCEPTS   — Phenomenology : A philosophical “practice/method” of observing, recording, and interpreting “lived experience” through vivid and detailed descriptions. The practice of phenomenology seeks to expose, uncover, or reveal “universal” elements of human existence that structure our practical, “particular” empirical situations.  — Transcendental Phenomenology : Largely developed by Husserl, is a philosophical approach to qualitative research methodology seeking to understand human experience. — Existential Phenomenology : Whereas Husserl saw the task of transcendental phenomenology to be that o describing the lived world from the viewpoint of a detached observer,...

    Integrating Dance: Moving Outside the Box

    Image
    Arts Integration: The Elements of Dance   (Video) After a lengthy discussion about the possible reasons why dance art is not considered an important subject in our culture, the students watched the video Arts Integration: the Elements of Dance (LINK ABOVE). The video emphasized the importance of using dance through the learning process of other subjects. The video introduces teacher Debra Kapp who explains in detail the different aspects of the process: Warm Up, Analysis and Reflection and Feedback. Based on the explanations given by the children it is evident that the process used by Kapp works. TAL students were then given a task: They were divided in groups, making sure they worked with students they had not worked with before. The groups had to brainstorm to come up with the idea they wanted to teach. Then the wrote the objective for that class. They agreed on the activities that would allow the students to learn the objective. They structur...
