Collaborative Planning

I feel as collaborative planning would be beneficial for the teachers and the students.  If all the teachers work together in creating lesson plans, changes can be made as needed and the teachers will know from year to year what needs to be adjusted, added, deleted or left alone.  Another benefit from having collaborative planning is that if a substitute teacher has to be in a class for any period of time, the students will not have to miss out on the next pieces of information.  The class can continue on as though the primary teacher had never left.   As long as the teachers and administration are able to work together as a team, the students will benefit from all the extended minds being used to create lessons.

    When I was thinking about collaborative planning, I put most of the focus on the teachers. I didn't think about it being effective for the students also until reading your post. The students are the key focus point and as teachers we want to ensure they are getting the best possible education.

    Yes, it is best for STUDENTS which is why I care!! The students benefit from the synergy of talent in the room.

    I like how you brought up adjusting the plans as you go and for future years. It is so important as teachers that we reflect on our lessons and adjust accordingly. Some things may have worked out great while others would benefit from improvement. Every year you teach the lessons they will get better and better!

EDUC 337 Week # 4

Hello group!      I really wish I would have known we were going to use this particular subject for our blog post because I have one heck of a "I did not get my way" story.  I will start in 2012 when I got out of the Marine Corps, I served 13 years, took that summer off to relax and hang out with my son.  I started my college adventure that fall, I loaded up on classes and pushed through to complete my associates degree after four semesters.  I had my daughter in January of 2014 so I was only in one class for that spring semester but was able to push through to more courses that summer and fall.  Spring of 2015, I was almost finished with my education courses I needed but this is when everything fell apart.      I was rocking and rolling toward my bachelors degree and finishing all of my schooling, so excited and could not wait to start teaching.  It all changed that Mother's day with a phone call from my mother in law (Linda), she decided that day she was going to sle

Class Reflection #1

Hello class! I enjoyed meeting everyone new tonight and those of you that were in previous classes.  I also enjoyed hearing about everyone's favorite teacher.  Most of the class definitely has had some very positive individuals that have helped to guide them into teaching or had a very positive role model.  I think it is awesome to have some of the same experiences as I have had throughout my college courses.  It is fun to hear everyone's adventures!

EDUC 337 Post # 3

Hello group!      As always, I enjoyed class tonight!  By going over word walls and having a quick thought on creating a lesson plan really got my mind going.  I really enjoyed that because it was a quick learning tool that opened my eyes to very different words and how to use them in a classroom.       Creating a mini lesson plan about a writing lesson almost blew my mind though!  I felt like we needed about 15 more minutes but I was able to learn a lot about thinking quickly on my feet about different teaching ideas used during this assignment.       Unfortunately, technology was not our friend last night so the last portion of class was pretty confusing so I plan on going back over the power point to make sure I do not miss out on anything.  I think I have my unit lessons planned in my head, I have started my 100 questions and I hope to start/finish a lot this weekend.  We will see.  :-) *You all may be getting a bit tired of hearing/reading about my 4 year old but I am really
