  1. TEACHING GOALS FOR 2011 - 2012 Aurora Mboya Sept 2011 Grade 10 Turkish Curriculum Grade 12 Diploma IB

  2. A Mboya: Teaching Goals for 2011-12 • P Preparation will be thorough • A Alert and attentive to class needs • C Character development by each student • E Excellence is the standard. Aim high! Delivery: I will: • Make lessons interactive by setting clear and attainable learning objectives to engage the learners. • Ask probing questions and incorporate learners feedback. Every other week there will be a hands-on content-related learning activities. Students will be participatory learners.

  3. Include every student in class and small group discussions. Assist students to learn English and science terms by positive reinforcement and relating to Turkish examples • Make a concerted effort to relate each Unit to everyday life in Turkey and rest of the world - e.g. Analyze school menu and weekly diet. • Investigate local cases of pollution. • Applications of photosynthesis and respiration. • Local ecology and increased environmental awareness and practice:- agriculture; marine biology, conservation; investigate biotic and abiotic factors in Tarsus dam. • Discuss science related careers.

  4. Integrating IB and School Mission statements • Inquirers – learners will acquire skills in inquiry and apply them in class and everyday life. • Knowledgeable – learners will acquire in-depth knowledge and develop an understanding across a variety of disciplines. • Thinkers – learners apply thinking skills critically and make reasoned, ethical decisions. • Communicators – learners understand and express ideas and information confidently in more than one language. • Principled and caring – learners act with honesty and integrity; show compassion and respect towards others; they take responsibility for their own actions.

  5. Semester Projects for Grade 10 1 Cell city poster or model of a prokaryotic cell; 2 Energy project – workout DVD or high energy food. 1 Biofuels Project – design and use a practical device powered by a biofuel; 2 Make an annotated 4D model of the nitrogen cycle; or research and make a brochure on local pollution. • WebQuests and internet research: aimed at strengthening research and writing skills. Comprehension: reinforce reading and comprehension skills using case studies and guided lab procedures. Basic lab skills for grade 10; advanced for IB [see next slide].

  6. Grade 10 Lab skills – 5 success indicators • Follow procedure in given practical lab sheet and observe safety as you collect data. • Make observations and record them; collect data and present the data in a table or chart[s]. • Plot accurate charts and graphs and analyze or interpret them showing trends and relations. • Conclusion – draw a conclusion by relating your stated hypothesis to the data you have collected and analyzed. • Evaluate the lab by suggesting an application to everyday life. By the end of second semester students should be able to write a simple, orderly lab report following and showing the 6 steps of the scientific method.

  7. IB practical investigations - indicators • Quality data– do not collect frivolous data; • Quantitative data – collect adequate amounts; • Collection and representation of data – relevant method used to collect data; various modes of representing data; • Data transformation and analysis –charts showing percentages and other stats. Show error bars or trends lines; use these to highlight any correlations. • Conclusion – refer to the hypothesis and use the data collected and analyzed to support or disprove it. • Evaluation of the procedure/method pointing out strengths and weaknesses; make suggestions to improve the procedure.

  8. Success Indicators for my students By second semester 5 [or more] goals in the school mission will be integrated into students lives; at least three of every four of my students will display positive personal development in assimilating and applying the school’s mission and IB learner profile.
