How might you use what you learned in this lesson in your school/classroom?
-
I understand that there is a mix of traditional and process/mastery forms of education in our curriculum and school. I need to be evaluating what is appropriate for my age/grade of students and for the subject matter being taught. I do want students to master the material and need to make sure they are taking an active role in their own learning as well as making sure I am clearly understanding the standards and material and communicating concepts so they grasp them. It is important as believers in Christ to pass down what we have learned.
-
I think having standards as a goal is important. However, that shouldn’t be our main mission. We are to teach students about biblical truth and integration and how they can then use critical thinking skills to master content subjects.
-
Maybe somehow to emphasize how knowing how to read is important, but also teach how to read and understand and be able to study the bible on your own. And it is interesting that it would be nice that all students have to take a set amount of Bible classes/units in order to graduate, but it is true that some students may transfer in, so that could be more difficult, like if a student transfers in senior year. Do we have to offer summer courses for them to make it up? Or just be happy to be able to accept them and allow them to learn some thing about the bible verses, if it 4 years of bible was required, then some families may be turned away by that.
-
It’s important for each unit, and lesson to have standards and aims to be able to narrow down exactly what you want to teach and achieve.
-
Standards are a guide to help us make sure our students are on track. They help to guide when students need extra support and scaffolding. How we present the information is very much up to us as teachers, but the standards allow us to know how to progress day to day.
