Reflect on the DIBELS activity. Which two areas did you choose to practice scoring? How did you do? Was it easy/difficult? Upload pictures of your score sheets. •I think that all of the DIBELS activities were very informative. I think some were harder than others. The two I choose to do were the Oral Reading Fluency and the Retell. I picked these two because they went hand and hand with each other. I never really thought about how students could describe so much about a story by only reading 60 words but when hearing the student do his retell and listen to him only know one thing about the story all I could think of was about all the other details he got and could have talked about in that short period of reading. This really opened my eyes to all the detail in stories that normally we probably don't even think about or pay attention to. List two benefits of using Curriculum-Based Measurement (e.g., DIBELS) to monitor stu...
I liked your prezi, it was nice to look a something different. I agree with you, I think if teachers find it works in their classroom with their students than they should totally incorporate learning styles into their lessons. Just because something is not researched proven does not mean it does not work for some students, and for me even if it just helps one student learn better than it's worth it.
ReplyDeleteHi Danielle, We see differently on the first question in regards to the assessment of learning styles. I think that we each are able to learn and understand in a variety of different ways, I just imagine a room full of kids that have been labelled as visual learners and having no communication going on and everything is done with pictures...I don't really thing that will be beneficial. I know that that is taking the term to the extreme but that is what I picture in my head. The same goes for students that are classified with hearing, only talking would be in that class, no pictures just continuous talking and listening.
ReplyDeleteWe do agree on the disservice by using research or lack of research in the classroom, I believe that research is important but not the be all of the classroom environment. You mention homework, and I have see research for it and against it, I like when my children don't have homework, but then it also makes me wonder what they did all day, especially if they cannot tell me. My daughter had a 3rd grade teacher that didn't do spelling words and test, that was my favorite. They had another activity that took place for the week called word boggle, the students loved it and learned more words then they would have if they had spelling words every week.
I like your presentation. It was very creative, and I appreciate that you incorporated more learning styles than we normally hear about. I never thought about children learning musically, but it does make sense. I have boys that can rap about anything. If it helps them learn, I say go for it. I also remember teaching preschool and the children loved when we sang songs together. It was a way of drawing them in and getting their attention.
