Planning For Success Learning Is A Shared Responsibility
Expectations • As always, respect yourself and others. • Respect your peers while working for everyone’s success. • Show courage and good judgement in adapting to your new courses. Light A Candle
Planning • Personal responsibility for learning(Three items, illustrated talk) • Put big things in first • Don’t get in a rut • Learning is tool making • Core Curriculum (handout) • Methods of Learning. • Authoritative (printed content, content lecture) • Scientific Opinion (scientific literacy, scientific argument) • Scientific investigation invention and knowledge building: hands-on activities • Practice and Verification: class practice and homework.
MODES of Classroom Cooperation • LISTENING mode: Teacher talks students listen. Instruction for the CLASS. • DISCUSSION mode: One acknowledged spokesperson talks at a time.(Relevant questions answered serving the needs felt by most or all of the class.) • CONSOLIDATION mode: Individual help (from peer and/or teacher), shared group activities, practice and review. • Discussion: What benefits and problems do you anticipate with these modes of behavior?
Shared Responsibility • EVERYONE is responsible for maintaining a helping learning environment. • Reasonable expectations will be clearly outlined. • The quality of your success will be estimated either with a mark or letter grade.(see handout.) • Review-consolidation exercises and extra help upon request are available.(by appointment) • Collaborative planning will be done with resource staff for those needing modifications and special consideration.
Problems • This is the first year for ACSC learning goals. • Some of these goals are not appropriate for all students at the level demanded in the guide. • Some students will feel work is too difficult when applying immature learning strategies and responsibilities while expecting mature results.
