Learning critical thinking and leadership skills are important for the career success of students.
Teamwork is essential. Students need experiences in team building, leadership and team problem solving to be successful in the work place.
Critical thinking skills are very important in the job market. Being able to work through problems is an important skill for students to practice.
Removing barriers for one student may create a barrier for another so multiple options for assessment are needed.
I plan to continue to use exit tickets to gage the effectiveness of lessons.
An open discussion of perceived barriers from the student and parents will help in the removal of those barriers.
Formative assessments allow students to find areas of improvement needed before they reach a summative assessment. The use of exit tickets to gather data on understanding will allow me to adjust instruction to ultimately reach the instructional goals of the courses I teach.
Formative assessments are frequent and have a low impact on grades. They should help guide the student to identifying areas of instruction that they need to focus on to reach the final instructional goal ie. a summative assessment.
In culinary, a simulated work space or school-based business would greatly expand the possibilities for teaching real world employability skills.
The use of pre-tests can help you accomplish your instructional goals.
Modifications and accommodations are a necessary part of effective lesson planning. Be aware of students needs and learning styles.
