Key Method Reflection To help you make connections, answer the following questions in a complete paragraph of 7 to 10 sentences. You may want to test your knowledge by interacting with peers or asking your instructor for clarification. 1. Values, Attitudes, and Self-Awareness. Which teaching method or theory presents the strongest reaction to your existing values? Describe the idea and explain why it clashes or reinforces what you already believe or value. Classroom assessment techniques are one of the teaching methods that present the strongest reaction to my existing values. I say this because I feel that as a teacher, you want to always know where your students are academically all the time. These CATs are a perfect way to let you know where your students are placed compared to other students or other classes. In my high school, most of my math and science classes had these CATs so that the teachers know what they can do to make their students have a better understanding of the lessons. Even some of the college classes I currently take have these CATs. In my college classes, my professor use eight to eleven questions based on what we are currently learning to see where all the students are currently placed and how hey can improve their academic placement. I would definite plan on using these in my classes. 2. Muddiest Point: Which teaching method or theory is the most confusing or concerning and why? Explain what you find challenging about the idea. The teaching method that I find confusing or concerning is team teaching. I find it confusing because I never was in a class where there were more than one teacher teaching the same subject. Every single class I can remember in every school I was in only had one teacher teach the class. The only situation that I can relate to having two teacher in a classroom is when there needs to be a translator or a teacher that helps control a student who has a disability. I could probably think that in an elementary school there would be more situations where more than one teacher would be needed. But when students go to middle or high school, I cannot think of a reason why there would need to be more than one teacher in the classroom. 3. Real-Life Application: Which teaching method or learning theory do you want to apply to your teaching portfolio, role as an educator, or to your understanding of diversity as an educator? List the idea, and explain how you want to apply it. One teaching method that would want to apply to my role as an educator is the use of learning centers. In most of my high school years, we went to our library a lot as a learning center to either work on a class project, to study, or learn something that involves the librarian or needs a big open area. I would want to apply this to me as an educator because I feel that if I have my students in the learning center for projects or other school related reasons, they can focus more easily and get their work done more efficiently. I also remember some of my classes even used the cafeteria as a learning center. Of course, it would be when lunch either has not started, or ended. It still served as an area where we could have a better focus on school work or do group work. I would love to use a learning center for my classes when I become an educator....
