Reflective Self-Evaluation
Sue Pawula
When creating this Revitalized
Instructional Unit, I enjoyed the opportunity to utilize so many different
strategies. I am looking forward
to using these theories and instructional strategy model in my classroom. Creating this document made it that
much easier for me to “reach in the hat and pull out” a new strategy and
implement it to improve my instruction for all my students. The strategies that I have included
have really transformed the prior lessons into much higher thinking levels for
the students. All of the
activities and assessment are aligned with the strategies to allow them to flow
seamlessly.
Technology
included is either videos or interactive sites where students acquire extra
information in an interesting format that also furthers the lesson. They allow the students to participate
in their own learning and go back if they have a misconception and realize what
is the correct information.
All
the justifications included for the changes in the lesson clearly state how the
lesson is creating an effective instructional environment, which will allow
students to take charge of their learning and scaffold their questioning
ability. These activities will
assist them to use their cognitive skills in critical and creative ways in
order to become higher-level thinkers.
The
video presentation shares all of the information provided in this document in
an useful manner. The paper is
written in correct format as requested.
As
I said, I have enjoyed delving into the different theories that encourage all
teachers to think about how to activate their students’ minds through movement
and development of questioning skills.
We need to hand some of the tools for learning into the students hands
so that they can question and delve for information to answer question. They need to become more skilled in
defending their opinions with facts.
We as teachers need to guide and facilitate this type of learning. That is where the strategy models come
to play since having acquired so many higher level thinking strategies will
allow me to increase the learning in my classroom through there implementation.
