Together, they work to address any issues that come up. Value families as a resource that supports the curriculum. For example, if your child's class is learning about plants, the teacher might ask family members who garden to share what they know with the students.
Give families regular reports about children's progress and what they're studying. Teachers work to communicate effectively with everyone in the community. Warning Signs Learning standards are usually set by your state, and the curriculum is often decided by the school district. Most of the time, the teacher instructs the whole class.
Children sit for long periods. Students don't have a lot of hands-on materials to help them with complex concepts, like a chart and counters for understanding place value. Children have to complete many worksheets.
The curriculum, environment, and teaching strategies are the same for all children. Teachers don't connect learning to what a child knows or adapt to each student's needs. Because of this, some students are uninterested, struggle with learning the material, or may have behavior issues.
Children's social and emotional needs aren't given much attention. They don't have chances to learn skills like problem solving or self-control. Teachers don't give genuine encouragement, relying instead on rewards or punishments to get children to participate, finish assignments, or behave.
Teachers hardly ever use assessments to better understand each child's needs or evaluate their own teaching. Assessments might focus only on right and wrong answers, which doesn't help the teacher understand a child's thinking.
Teachers don't keep families updated on their children's progress or involve them in decisions that affect children's learning. Audience: Family. Age: Early Primary.

My experience With the ICT supported Learning environment — when well planned and implemented — it was and is almost eerily quiet, With all the students busy interacting online or going togehter F2F in a corner to discuss quietly how to solve a problem before returning to their computers.
I have added a link to Your article from my teaching and Learning blog. Reblogged this on Reimagining the iTaukei and commented: Love this entry!
We need to keep the perspective that conceptual learning is necessary too, so that we understand the studies we venture into. So there needs to be a balnce between conceptual learning, with measurements ising stsndards based assessment, and Competency Based Learning in which we develop and measure the improvement of capabilities and competencies.
To do this there is grater need for professional learning and development for teachers and much better communication to students and parents about expectations and learning objectives. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I agree with you on nearly everything. The big exception is the pyramid you show above percentages of how learning best occurs. This graph has been thoroughly debunked and should not be circulated anymore. Please check into it. I blog frequently and I genuinely appreciate your content.

I also have my students make and hand out cards for the new student to welcome him or her upon arrival. Make sure that each child feels chosen.
Several times a year, I ask my students to anonymously write down the names of three students they want to sit with or work with—ranked in order of preference. I go over the results to see who is being selected and who is not. Other times, I will assign these students specific partners who will help them by modeling good social behaviors. Weave social and emotional practices throughout the day.
Toward the end of a school year, I start allowing students to choose their partners for activities, but I change up the traditional classroom social dynamics by letting the students who are typically not chosen to be the choosers.
We can never take for granted the importance of our students feeling they belong. In a world that does not yet fully welcome everyone, schools can reinforce existing divisions or provide students a safe community that feels like a second home.
That former second-grade student of mine went on to attend the prom with his boyfriend in our very conservative town and initiated a town-wide pride campaign. I have never felt more proud of my impact as a teacher.
