How am doing on time?
I need to get Connor re-
engaged.
Kaisha is ready for a different cooperative
learning group.
Okay, let’s check for
understanding.
Tyler looks upset. I should e-mail his mom about what happened today at recess.
Jaslyn knows this stuff, but is
so quiet.
Good thing I use the “no opt-out” strategy.
Gotta remember to collect the
parent permission forms.
Oh, wait. There’s a faculty meeting
afterschool.
Seriously? A P.A. announcement
right now?
Langston and Chase are still mixing up their b’s and d’s. I’ll
help them with that.

Is teaching any less complicated than ….
Aviation? Emergency medicine?
Condense staggering amounts of new knowledge
Apply research & experience to practice
Put the pieces together
Respond to unpredictable circumstances
What’s the solution?Checklists
Medical checklists saved 1,500 lives and $175 million in Michigan alone
Helps professionals translate research to action
Must be simple enough to be memorable
Helps to create teamwork & professionalism
Every new aviation safety bulletin translated into a checklist

Marva Collins: A Warm Demander in the Classroom
Collins: Sweetheart, what are you going to do? Use your life or throw it away?
Gary: I’m not gonna do any damn work.
Collins: I am not going to give up on you. I am not going to let you give up on yourself. If you sit there leaning against this wall all day, you are going to end up leaning on something or someone all your life. And all that brilliance bottled up inside you will go to waste.
Gary relents to going up to the board, but then digs in his heels again, refusing to work.
Collins: If you do not want to participate, go to the telephone and tell your mother, ‘Mother, in this school we have to learn, and Mrs. Collins says I can’t fool around, so will you please pick me up.’

• Interesting lessons take more work & thought
• When kids are off-task, we might ask, What’s the task? Is it worth doing?
• Some teachers may insist boredom builds character
• But should the purpose of schooling really be to get kids acclimated to mind-numbing tasks?

Irish U19s blast their way to a place in the finalsBy Ian CallenderTuesday, 9 August 2011
Ireland Under-19s sealed their place at next year’s World Cup finals in Australia last night with fittingly with their most impressive batting performance of the tournament.Set 246 to win their rearranged game against Namibia at Coleraine yesterday, the Irish made their usual faltering start, slumping to 32 for three, but lost only one more wicket as they won with three overs to spare.
Jason van der Merwe made 72 and Shane Getkate, showing his all-round ability, finished 61 not out from 53 balls, with three fours and a six.
Straddling partnerships of 99 and 117 was the captain George Dockrell who again proved why he is batting at No5 in this line-up. Dockrell hit an unbeaten 82, with just five fours, but on the day it was the perfect innings to get the job done. And that, along with his bowling figures of three for 35 there was no doubt who deserved the man of the match.
How to connect students with prior knowledge
Strategy Example
Provide cues Tell what’s coming next, with a link to what they already know
Ask connecting questions
Provide advance organizers

What makes a teacher great?
Here’s what real people say about the best teachers they ever had.
(Compiled on http://www.etni.org.il/bestteacherever.htm)
My favorite teacher was my freshman math teacher. He was one of the goofiest people I ever knew, but incredibly nice and you could really tell he cared about the subject and all of his students.
He was always so clear in his explanations and I could always understand what he was trying to get at.
He always came into the classroom bringing a positive attitude that set us all going.

Believe it or not my favorite teacher was named Mr. Yelle.
He spoke to us “at eye level,” and had infinite patience and tolerance for anything except unkindness.
We did incredible projects for the science fairs. To this day (and I'm talking 40 years ago) I remember our lessons on meteorology.
By the way, he didn't yell.
My best ever teacher was my geography teacher in high school.
She explained everything extremely clearly, then checked every student's notebook to make sure the student had written down what she said and drawn the maps and diagrams correctly.
I can still remember a large part of what she taught decades later! Discipline problems didn't exist in her class because there was never an idle moment or a boring one.

The best teacher I ever had was my eighth grade science teacher, Mr. Jack Herr.
Every class was fun and I actually learned stuff about science.
He was the one person who really understood me and he changed my life dramatically
… and I forever thank him for that.
Professor Roston is the best teacher ever. His lectures are well organized, interesting and put across with a dramatic flair.
He turned me on to English literature.
Moreover, he was approachable and always had time for students.
His comments on papers were constructive and encouraging.

[The best teacher I ever had] made us think. I think it was the first time I was really made to think in high school.
Instead of just learning about the major revolutions in history, we relived them. … He forced us to look at the world through the eyes of the people involved.
We took their parts and argued their causes. This way, we understood the complexity of history … and no longer conceived of it simply as a time line to be memorized.
Gail Anderson was my grade 9 English teacher.
She took the time to … write meaningful comments and suggestions for writing, organizing and presenting better work. We always wanted to please her and in the end pleased ourselves.
She made a difference in our lives. She shaped our destiny and gave us confidence.
That is why I teach today.

Great teachers are as differentas snowflakes
yet alike in that they focus on doing what matters most.
They challenge us.
“He made us think.”
“There was never an idle
moment.” “He forced us to look at the world through the
eyes of the people involved.”

What would you like your students to say about you in the
future?
But remember … great teaching doesn’t happen
overnight.
It happens one step at a time.
What step will you take?
