Hi all, here are your reminders for submitting your Unit 2 Project – Understanding Students’ Resistance + Rubric on VIA -not D2L- and to bring an artifact:

1. Complete & Submit part 4 of Unit 2: “Consider multiple possible solutions & make an action plan” by Sunday, Dec. 2nd by 9pm on VIA… Put all 4 parts together in 1 doc.
FYI: Revision work will be permitted until the 9th.

2. Bring an artifact* of your semester… something that you feel is characteristic of your teaching style or emerging identity as a teacher. *e.g. Assignment/assessment you made, note from a student, picture of something… something memorable (challenging, proud of etc)

Be well & take care!

TE 801: October/November Items

Hi all,

Another great week of 801 is in the books (and just another 5 sessions left this semester); how time flys when you’re reading about student resistance! That said, here are a few items of note:

• 1. UNIT PLAN: Turn in the whole Unit One assignment as a singular document (including part 5) by Sunday at 9pm (Try to keep the the final version between 3-4 pages).
• 2. PICK TWO STUDENTS: From your focus class, select two you might want to focus on for Unit 2. You might ask, “which students?!” Hint: Unit 2 will be about engaging ‘resistant students’, so you may want to think along those lines. Keep those students in mind over the next two weeks. 
• 3. MAKE ME!: Before you come back read Make Me!, Chapter 4-7 (that is, read your assigned chapter):

Chapter 4: Mike B, Andrea, Kayla, Hunter, & Josh

Chapter 5: Alexander, Madeline, Julian, Grace, & Blake

Chapter 6: Evan, Shelby, Ryan, Abby, & Matt

Chapter 7: Yue, Jacob, Jenny, Kathryn, & Lance

Know that I’m looking forward to hearing how your guided lead-teaching goes, best wishes with that. 

Have a tranquil weekend,

Justin

Personal Professional Considerations

Take this 1) Disc Test & 2) Personality Test  and post a concise statement of your results for each test on your page by class on Wednesday. These tools will help you think about who you are in a concrete and scientific way and to consider how you might operate in professional settings and organizations.

We’ll explore developing your ‘ethos’ in a professional setting further throughout the year, but this will be immediately practical for our experiences and reflections!

What’s the culture of the group? Do you feel like you have a place in it? How are tasks assigned? How do people communicate? Does the group’s culture differ from the larger organization’s culture? How do the DiSC styles of individuals in the group increase the group’s effectiveness?

Check out your group culture, talk it over with your group, & have someone prepared to be the reporter to the rest of the class. Sample Everything DiSC Group Report
