About me

Activity

A key element in lesson planning is confering with professionals in the field to determnine contemporary issues and best practices.  We need to stay connected to the field rather than use pure academic resources and materials.

I do not see curriculum and instruction as readily separable. Rather than emphasizing expected learning outcomes, I prefer to focus on the learning experiences where students develop their own meanings; knowledge and skills as a result of their own experiences interacting with the subject. Simply, emphasizing curriculum content with many of their needs and interests to make the subject content more relevant.
It is important for me to understand that what I say, how I say it, and my non-verbals should be consistent. I have found that students' understanding and behavior is evoked from their perceptions and interpretations of the product of data taken in through the senses: sight, hearing, touch, and even smell and taste.
