Professional Development Plan #6

What did i learn?

The link i read was about everyday edits. I started reading this because it related to one of the assignments we did for a class which was learning experience approach. The professor gave a paragraph that had a lot of mistakes and the students need to grap the mistakes and correct it. This is to build language skills, test scores, and cultural literacy for grades 4 and up.

What else do i want to learn?

I actually learned a lot, because it gave a lot of feedback on how to perform this activities and how to work with the students. It also gave the appropriate grade level on who to do this type of activies.

Professional Development Plan 1

What did I learn?
I learned what round-ups mean. In this article it explains how helpful it can be for parents, kids and teachers to have a type of "open house" before starting school. It is mentioned that they want to make this 6 months earlier. I think this is very helpful because usually the kids are not comfortable in their first day of school and this way they get to see their teacher before starting school and they get to interact with them and meet them. http://www.education-world.com/a_admin/admin/admin359.shtml

What else do I want to learn?
I think that this approach towards kids and parents is very good, but I also think that maybe after the six months, a week before school starts they can meet again so that the kid does not forget the teachers face, and the environment of the school and this way they will be more associated and familiarized with the school and will know that this is where they are going to be away from mom, but will start their new life as students.
