Assignments

Assignments:

1. To contact the instructor through email or this wiki (using the blog page) as frequently as you would like to discuss what you are teaching in science, and questions that you may have. From time to time I will ask you to respond to a question/thought/idea on this wiki. This will be generated by our discussions/articles/text. You are expected to respond before the next class meets.

2. To read all assigned articles/chapters and document in your teaching log: take notes on aspects of the readings that seem most relevant and make connections among readings, class discussion and experiences as a teacher. You’ll also note teaching ideas that seem useful to you and/or spark ideas about what to do/not to do. These recordings will be written in your Teacher Log for all assigned articles or readings. This is ongoing throughout the semester.

3. Students will evaluate texts and corresponding course materials in light of the Wisconsin Model Academic Standards. This assignment is due February 14th.

4. To prepare one science lesson using an assigned template. Teach this lesson to your student’s first then you will present this lesson to the class. Put a copy of your lesson on this wiki.

Final reflection paper, self-assess yourself in this class, what have you learned, how will what you learned impact your teaching in the future… There is no mandated length of this paper, whatever you feel is appropriate to adequately reflect what you have learned this semester.
