Inquiry Today
1.
Post practicum I am still very interested in continuing my inquiry throughout my career. Intrinsic motivation is still most important to me and I assume it will continue to be. The ways in which I attempt to motivate S. to want to do the assignments and task I assign will change no doubt as they vastly changed over my practicum.
2.
Ideas form my practicum/cfe I would like to build on are bringing novelty and artifacts into the classroom as well as getting S. out of the classroom, field trips help S. to be excited and enthused to learn.
Lots of good info there.
3.
Practicum/cfe difficulties I took as learning opportunities are… the value of discipline.
4.
The best feedback I got as I see it was to make sure S. knew why they were doing what they were, and where it fits in in context.
5.
TPI: I scored evenly which was not supposed to be ideal, but there were some important aspects of each.
6.
3-5 year plan: inquiry, improve on intrinsically motivating S. and myself.
My inquiry is most important to me because I want to want to be in class and I want the same for my students.
Professional growth plan:
Goal #1 (Overarching)
Intrinsically motivate S.
1. Walking Field trips
2. Artifacts
3. Survey S. to find out what artists they are into.
4. Use artists as examples
5. Always explain why we are doing the activity
Goal #2
Create a skateboard club
1. Find out policy around skateboarding
2. Advertise after school skateboard club
3. Skateboard with S. in a safe environment away from bad influences.
Goal #3
Bring Aurasma into my classroom
1. Find out what texts a school has
2. Find links appropriate to that text
3. Link photos of text to links.
