Here are some quick thoughts on classroom key words to post conspicuously.
Question Think critically (critical thinking) Collaborate Create Reflect - explain - reimagine - share - present I also want to post key elements of using Bloom's Taxonomy for both the development of our questions and the design of our reflections. http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/2012/08/03/different-ways-to-illustrate-blooms-taxonomy/ http://www.peterpappas.com/2010/01/reflective-student-taxonomy-reflection-.html More to come. (I am a bit frustrated that the classroom is so small that creating spaces for creative activities is impossible without the constant moving of desks and tables - will work through this challenge creatively ...)

CategoriesJames KlassenI am a teacher. I have held various teaching positions, mostly in Abbotsford, BC, Canada, since 1987. I believe that teachers have the opportunity to inspire deep and meaningful learning and that all learners create their knowledge in ways that are connected to their interests and within their social context. I have observed many waves of educational "reform" come and go and remain hopeful that schools will be transformed into places where all learners desire to be creators and consumers of knowledge and that, together, each member of this community will become prepared to face their world in both skills and attitudes. |
