A <b>cognate </b>is a word that shares a similar meaning, spelling, and pronunciation in two or more languages. Since Spanish and Portuguese are both Romance languages, they have many, many cognates, and many English words are cognates with Spanish and Portuguese. In fact, 30-40% of all words in English have a related word in Spanish, and this <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.itbe.org/v_newsletters/article_56124917.htm&source=gmail&ust=1540317000236000&usg=AFQjCNGHxHM370c0gdMC_WEM_8yK1hYB1A" href="https://www.itbe.org/v_newsletters/article_56124917.htm" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">cognate awareness</a> can really help ELs understand their second language. </div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Back in 2011, while pursuing my Master degree, I wrote a blog post titled <a href="https://www.blogger.com/(http://mswaughsclass.blogspot.com/2011/04/21st-century-classroom.html)">“</a></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/(http://mswaughsclass.blogspot.com/2011/04/21st-century-classroom.html)">The 21st Century Classroom”</a></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I recently stumbled upon a new article titled, “</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #4d5957; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="http://www.fusionyearbooks.com/blog/21st-century-teacher/">10 Signs You Really Are a 21st Century Teacher (And Might Not Know It</a>)” </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">which got me thinking about what being a 21st Century teacher means in 2016 and </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I figured I should craft update.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">While we remain in the 21st century, what I thought was 21st century teaching in 2011, five years later looks somewhat different. In my previous post, I reference using my one laptop in my class with my students, connected to my smartboard and sometimes incorporating my iPad and iPod touch. I reference Bloom’s taxonomy and Gardner’s multiple intelligences and project-based learning. It’s interesting how education evolves and fads arise and fade, and what we think is going to change the world is discredited in future research studies. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Back in the 1990’s, I guess under the ideology of 20th century learning, Bill Clinton thought a $2 billion program of putting a computer in every classroom and a data link in every school would be the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/(http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1996-02-16/news/9602160335_1_computer-school-district-christopher-columbus-school)">“great equalizer.”</a> </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Supposedly this one computer would revolutionize the way children learn.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">And in the past 20 years, my how plans have changed. Now the great equalizer is supposedly a 1 to 1 ratio of computer to student, at a budget of a minimum of $1 million dollars per district, or as much as $1 billion per district, like <a href="https://www.blogger.com/(https://www.districtadministration.com/article/how-school-districts-are-funding-1-1)">Los Angeles USD’s iPad program</a>. How do districts afford these 21st century aspirations? Through budget cuts, often in the form of teacher lay-offs </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">and I wonder if that’s really what 21st century learning is all about. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Numerous studies have shown that </span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/(http://www.ascd.org/publications/books/104136/chapters/The-Power-of-an-Effective-Teacher-and-Why-We-Should-Assess-It.aspx)">most important factor affecting student learning is the teacher.</a> Even so much as to say learning gains realized by students during a year in the classroom of an effective teacher were sustained over later years and were compounded by additional years with effective teachers. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So sorry, Bill Clinton, just having a computer in the classroom is not going to cut it. Neither is having a computer for every student a solution. Students can have unlimited access to unlimited resources, but if they are not taught how to use them, and how to use them correctly, those resources are nothing but knick-knacks. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When I wrote my original post in April of 2011, chromebooks hadn’t even been invented yet. Now kindergarteners have their own e-mail addresses and a laundry list of logins to IXL and Raz Kids and youtube. But with all this unlimited access, comes a dangerous level of unlimited power and that is where the 21st century learning comes in. These students in front of us are technology natives. They’ve had facebook accounts and hashtags since before they were even born. Teaching students how to use technology is no longer our job. It is our job as teachers to teach them to use it well. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is where fushionyearbooks.com got it right: 21st century teachers use technology as a tool for suspending sterotypes, teaching empathy, fostering collaboration, advancing adaptivity and celebrating creativitiy. With the advent of technology, the world is at our fingertips and Google is our daily professor. But instant information gratification is as addicting as slot machines and what we need to teach is the responsibility of knowledge. What students really need to know is how to research, how to collaborate, how to present their findings, how to manage a dynamic team. Those are the skills the job market is looking for. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2004/06/24/opinion/doing-our-homework.html?_r=0">Thomas L. Friedman wrote for the New York Times in 2004</a>, right at the beginning of the 21st Century these telling words whose sentiment has only become more salient since then, "</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;">When I was growing up, my parents used to say to me: ''Finish your dinner -- people in China are starving.''

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The 21st century will continue to present to us new and innovative ways to share knowledge, demonstrate knowledge and acquire knowledge, and it is up to us as effective teachers to channel these opportunities and turn them into teachable moments for our students. </span></div>

<br />
This past spring, my principal asked me to compose a short PD presentation to share with our teachers about how to support ELs in the classroom. This is by no means a comprehensive lesson, but more of a booster shot for teachers who have taken Retell (or comparable course-work about teaching ELs) but are struggling in the "here and now." Taking a 3-credit course on teaching ELs is completely necessary, but sometimes it leaves mainstream educators reeling, wondering what to do first when they have an actual EL in front of them. This slideshow is a good place to start! It also could be extremely helpful as teachers are looking over their rosters for the new fall semester.<br />

As a teacher I often find them hindering. Hopefully someday I will write my own slew of textbooks that are up to my expectations, but right now my problem is that there is no perfect book. Usually, after six years of teaching, I feel like I am smarter and more competent at writing my own lessons and finding my own materials than anything I find in a text book. Especially for math. This makes finding a book unimaginably difficult. And it means I find myself searching for a textbook at the end of every single semester. In fact, I have used a new book for every semester I’ve ever taught at FAESL, and this fall will be my 9th semester. Wow! I just realized that…</span></div>

Since I teach HSE 1, many of my students are emerging readings, but I want to make sure their books don’t look childish. I know they are reading at a second or a third-grade level, but I don’t want them to feel demoralized for being at this stage in their educational journey. Additionally, I look for a book that has many features: readings, comprehension questions, vocabulary development, open-response questions and realistic, reasonable content matter. Last semester, I used a set of Laubach Reading for phonics as my anchor texts and while I really liked the way it wove together text and vocabulary and grammar. However, it was completely fictitious narrative and had no basis in content matter, like social studies or science. Also, a set of four books was way too many for my students to navigate. </span></div>

I actually just learned from Janice on Monday night that we must provide our students with a book due to grant funding, so hopefully I can find something that catches my eye tonight!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This evening it just happened to work out that I got a one-on-one session with the representative from McGraw Hill publishing. Nobody else from HSE was able to attend the workshop tonight, so I represented our HSE program and got a chance to look at all of the options from this publisher in particular. Unfortunately for me, all the material was at too high of a level for my class in particular, but it would be perfect for Tony and Molly. The representative was very kind and receptive and shared all of her display models with us (and I think it will ultimately prove to be lucrative for her because those texts look great and I think Tony and Molly will order them!)</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

I’d really like us to get their entire set of these booklets because we could use them in every class and then we could have more streamlined math instruction because we will all be using similar-looking texts. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Her options for my level were more based on vocabulary development and while that is important, I want a textbook with longer text excerpts and more of a focus on comprehension skills and content reading. She did share with me two model texts that are science content-based, but as soon as I opened them my response was, “Where are the pictures?” I did consider using these texts and supplementing them with youtube videos of experiments or images on each topic, but I think the text is a little too dense for my level.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ultimately for my ELA class next year, I would like to use the skinny science texts “Go Green” and “Our Living Planet” from Pro Lingua Associates. I think these will be perfect because it incorporates page-long text readings, vocabulary development and reading comprehension questions, all about science topics. Then I can supplement the text with newspaper articles or current events regarding these science topics, in order to differentiate for lexile level and interest. </span></div>

So after Pat and June’s presentation, I might try out both of those. The document camera would actually really be helpful for projecting student work to collaborate with corrections and edits. This way we can work on editing and revising skills, and I could use it to project my new textbooks and annotate the text or fill in the blanks on the board.</span></div>

And this program capacity week, he did not disappoint! Thank you, Bob, for putting all your great ideas in one place with links! (</span><a href="http://eslbob.weebly.com/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">http://eslbob.weebly.com/</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">) Some of these ideas I have heard about before and used in my classroom, like Kahoot, Pinterest, Readtheory and google, but now I have so many other ways in which to incorproate technology into my HSE classroom this fall. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

I’m thinking it would be a good way to start the semester with Testyourvocab.com and do it at the end of the semester, too. It is very subjective because the students don’t actually have to define the words, they just have to click if they know the definitions, but I think it would be effective enough to give them an approximate lexion tally that would really boost their morale and self-confidence. It is also an additional way to track student growth.</span></div>

There is a feature called Ted Lessons, where you can create your own lessons around a youtube video, or use one of the ones they already have posted. I’ve used this for my middle school ELD class before, but it would be great in my HSE class because I already incorporate a lot of youtube videos for building background knowledge or for visual support for my HSE English learners. </span></div>

While this is very similar to readtheory.org, the nice thing about this website is it has an audio component that reads the text aloud to the students. This would be good to try out with students who need practice with phonics or pronunciation. Also, it has a variety of social studies topics for the text selections, which would be a good supplement to my textbook for next semester which will focus on the sciences. </span>Mrs. Waugh Barrioshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05358977487785742116noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550346116170863969.post-66555494976518920722015-09-30T06:32:00.001-07:002015-09-30T06:40:26.299-07:00Welcome to a New School Year 2015-2016!<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>If you had asked me before June 2014 about chips, I would have replied, “Potato or tortilla?” Likewise, I thought a number line was something you did while square dancing. Just kidding. But I really had no idea of their significance in integer instruction and conceptual knowledge.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Before this course, all I knew about integers were the rules. I knew a negative times a negative equals a positive. I knew a negative plus a negative equals a negative. I knew to subtract integers, you just add the opposite. In fact, when I was in seventh grade, I remember our integer assignment was to write a narrative story with integers as the characters, in order to demonstrate that we knew the rules. I also remember getting a poor grade on the assignment, because my sixth-grade brain couldn’t keep the rules straight, because they really held no meaning for me.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I had heard about the chip model before our summer workshop, and even knew that yellow meant positive and red meant negative, but I had never used it before and I had never seen it in action. Completing operations using the chips and chip mats was completely new to me, but struggling through the process this summer was an enriching experience. What really struck me the most was how chips are able to help represent why the integer rules exist. This helped me make meaning of the rules I had half-wittedly memorized so many years ago.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> I had used number lines before, but only to build foundation for integer value and relationship, to show that negatives were less than zero. I’d never used it for any operations. Actually the first time I saw the vector model for addition was when I was co-teaching a math class and we were doing practice MCAS questions. With my numeracy knowledge as an adult (and math teacher) I was able to figure out what the diagram meant, but I had never been explicitly taught the meaning behind it. As we went over it at the October workshop, I felt conflicted over the procedure of always starting the vectors at zero. I thought it was an additional step that complicated the process and might only confuse my students. But when I actually taught the vector model to my students, I found it was an essential step for students to differentiate between addition and subtraction models on the number line. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>However, the activity that resonated most with me over the entire workshop was the integer clothesline. While it doesn’t specifically relate to integer operations, having the numeracy understanding of the placement and relationship among integers and rational numbers is an integral part to building conceptual understanding for students. I used the integer clothesline for all of my middle school math ELD students and it was impactful in so many ways. First, it was kinesthetic and got even my most active students engaged and involved. Second, it was a form of pre-assessment, so that I was able to determine my students’ background knowledge and experience with integers, because they come from schools from all over the world, with different instructional styles and pacing. And finally, it was an activity that provided immediate feedback to the students, not only me but also my students’ peers. If a student began putting an integer in the wrong place, his classmates were the ones to help him revise his placement. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>These three integer models helped me connect the rules and concepts I had learned in isolation to a foundation of conceptual knowledge and they gave me resources so that I could help my students do the same. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Obviously in order to successfully compute integer operations, students need number sense and operational fluency. They need to know how to add, subtract, multiply and divide multi-digit whole and partial numbers and they need to know what these operations actually mean. As I began teaching my students about multiplying integers, I asked them what 3x4 “meant” and all my students answered, “12.” They had memorized math facts, which is definitely important for computational fluency, but they were missing the conceptual foundations. If they didn’t know 3x4 meant 3 groups of 4, how could they model 3x4 using the chips? How could they model it using a number line? Additionally, using models helps students build the conceptual knowledge that subtraction is really addition of negative numbers. I told the students subtraction actually doesn’t exist and they couldn’t believe it! I challenged them to give me a subtraction problem that I couldn’t change into an addition problem, and of course they were unable to stump me. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Having an understanding of integers and integer operations is an important foundation as the students move toward algebra and then on to calculus. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Yet none of the models were a perfect method solitarily and the students struggled with difficulties and misconceptions with each one. All models have their limitations and their benefits. It was difficult for the students to transition from adding using the vector model to subtracting using the vector model. While the vector model helped to denote the directionality of each operation and integer, manipulating the vectors from one operation to the next was so confusing for the students. They asked me why the process was so different and it was hard to get them to understand that subtraction is really finding the distance between two integers on the number line and addition was combining their values. Without this differentiation, the sums and differences were neither accurate nor understood. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The Walking the Number Line activity proved to help the students to model operations with vectors on the number line. The Walking the Number Line activity has the students assume the role of integer and they move in the negative and positive direction, adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers. It helps the student build the understanding of the directionality of the negative and positive numbers. These skills then transferred to students’ paper number line representations.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Additionally, I learned to make sure students understand one operation model completely, before moving on to the next operation. That way students feel competent and confident with addition, for example, before moving on to subtraction, so they are less likely to confuse the two models. </div>

In the project planner, I wrote about administering Probe 1 and 2. I have since administered and used almost every probe in the tool box, as I created my own unit for my ELL class about integers, using all the materials from our course this summer. I found all the probes were really beneficial, an not just for targeting my instruction. This was the first time most of my students have been asked to explain their reasoning or thinking. They REALLY struggled with the difference between giving the correct answer and providing an explanation. When I began teaching them about multiplication of integers, I started by just having them explain what 3x4 MEANT and they all said “12!” It took quite a while for the students to realize I wasn’t looking for the answer, I was looking for the thinking.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px;">
All this being said, I would like to use this time to talk about Probes 6 and 7 because those were the ones whose analysis I used to target the most instruction during this unit.</div>

I spent a week in November working on addition and subtraction of integers with the students. I started with using the chip model to represent integers and then moved into chip model for addition, followed by the chip model for subtraction. Then I introduced the vector model on the number line. Going through instruction, I found the students grasped the conceptual operations of integers much more while using the chips than the number line. I administered probe 6 and 7 on Friday of the week I taught both addition and subtraction in order to see how much the students had retained. </div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px;">
It seemed as though the students who used the chip method had the best understanding and the most success. Unfortunately, a few students used the chip method. I think if more had used that method, more students would have done better. I have the probes before teaching the students any “rules” so it was measuring specifically conceptual understanding.</div>

4. What kinds of difficulties and misconceptions did students have? What stood out for you?<br />
After I gave the probes, I regretted giving them on the same day and I regretted teaching them addition, then subtraction, then giving both probes. Upon reflection, I think students would have demonstrated better knowledge if I had given probe 6 after teaching the concept of addition and if I had given probe 7 after teaching the concept of subtraction. I think the biggest difficulty students had was with the number line, because for addition, they needed to put two vectors one after the other, depending on the addends. For subtraction, they draw two vectors from zero, each the distance of the integers they are subtracting. They just didn’t have the fluency to be able to manipulate the number line and vectors and moving back and forth from negative to positive direction. </div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px;">
5. What might be the reasons for these difficulties/misconceptions?<i> </i>Consider issues that can be addressed through instruction.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px;">
As I said above, I think administering the probes at the end of the week really didn't set the students up for success. I wanted to see which model they would choose and if they were really able to add and subtract integers after a week of instruction, but they proved to be just confused. Additionally, I think they chose the number line model because it was what I had taught them most recently, not necessarily was the one they knew the best. </div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px;">
This made me questions whether my students actually knew what addition of integers meant. I personally find the most meaning with the number line, but the difference between using it for addition and using it for subtraction really confused my students. </div>

I would really like to target how to model addition and subtraction using vectors on the number line. The students inability to demonstrate competency on this on the probes concerns me regarding their conceptual understanding. Additionally, I told the students they could write their explanation with any model they want, and the fact that they chose to use the number line but 8/12 students used it incorrectly .</div>

Before adding and subtracting integers, I never did the “walk the number line” activity and I think it would be a great lesson to build the conceptional knowledge and directionality within the students. It also is kinesthetic, so it will reach tactile learners. Making the students act out the movement of the integers on the number line themselves might help them be able to draw it.</div>

I found the students really participated and interacted when we work working with the chip models. It must have been the tactile component. Therefore the number line vector model was difficult to grasp. Walking the number line was interactive and tactile, so that the students became the integers and moved along the number line themselves. Adding and subtracting opposites are dense concepts that can be difficult for students with little to no numeracy to really internalize. This lesson helped the students</div>

<b>I would definitely revise the student handouts and make them more friendly for ELD 1-2 students.

<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;">What are 2-3 things that stood out for you in the process of carrying out this project: administering a probe, processing results, and planning & teaching targeted instruction? </li>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px;">
Completing the probes was probably the first time most of my students have ever been asked to explain their thinking, especially in English and with diagrams. I used them in many ways—as pre-assessments, post-assessments, formative assessments and extra credit. At the beginning of the unit, I photocopied every single one, and the ones I didn’t administer, the students actually enjoyed doing as extra credit. After assessments, early finishers could do unused probes for extra practice. They would complete them and bring them to be and I would score them immediately, for instant feedback, letting students know not only if their answers were correct, but also if their explanation demonstrated conceptual knowledge. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px;">
Administering probes as a form of formative assessment was so helpful to guiding my instruction. They were quick to grade and even when I didn’t go through the complete process as I did for this one, looking over my students’ shoulders as they took the probes, I was able to see where their deficits were. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px;">
Although the students balked at first, taking the probes also challenged them in constructive ways. The motto of my class is, “Growing is hard and that’s okay.” These probes were an excellent opportunity for students to struggle with the material and give me a ton of data.</div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px;">
<b>2. </b>What challenges, if any, did you face in carrying out the project? How did you address them?<b> </b></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px;">
<b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></b>Through the project and my integers unit, I utilized almost all the resources and strategies I learned at the workshop. I have not felt as successful or had my students feel as successful as we did when I was creating and teaching this unit and the lessons myself. For the beginning of the school year, I was trying to follow the grade-level content and pacing guides and books to no avail. But the way in which these materials were sequenced really helped my students succeed. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Unfortunately, I did have to spend a lot of time scaffolding the language aspects, because while the workshop was geared toward struggling learners, the needs of ELLs impact learning in different ways. I had to rewrite a lot of the worksheets to have less English and explanation, in favor of more problems and investigation.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Additionally, I got to the end of the unit I found I had worked so much on my students’ conceptual knowledge, they had little actual fluency for solving mixed integer operations. I ended up having to supplement the last week of instruction by creating a review packet that is much more practice-based.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /><b></b></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<b></b></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px;">
<b>3. </b>What are two suggestions that you would give to future course participants on how to use probes with students, analyze probe findings, and/or target instruction?</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px;">
In the future, I would tell course participants to not be afraid or overwhelmed of something new. In this workshop, I learned an entirely different way of interpreting and computing integers than I learned in school. I never worked with chips and never drew a vector on a number line. Sometimes I felt like I was learning right along with my students. However, having the conceptual knowledge really aids comprehension, especially because rules can be forgotten, but knowledge is forever.</div>
<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12px;">
Additionally, all the probes can be overwhelming, because they can feel like just more work for the teacher to do—more papers to grade. However, sometimes I found myself not even grading them, just glancing over them to see whether students “got it” or don’t. If it was a small group of “don’t,” I’d circle to them during class. If there were a lot of “don’t”s that meant a mini-lesson was necessary. The probes actually saved me time because they told me exactly where my students were at, so I didn’t send precious lesson time teaching them what they already knew; instead I could focus on exactly where their deficits were.</div>

then sign his or her name on the continuum at the point that matches his or her
opinion, without being directly in the middle. After rotating partners and
conversing with at least three others, each sheet holder must sign his or her
name on the continuum and provide elaboration and justification to a nonsheet
partner. In closing, sheet students can share out what their partners argued
and whether they were swayed by the conversations. If there is time, nonsheet
students can get a sheet and the roles reverse. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 8pt; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Reflection to Love Your
Body by Barry Taylor, N.D.</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Barry Taylor is not a
typical doctor. Instead, he provides naturopathic therapy through the ideology
of loving one’s body. His ideology examines the dichotomy between health and
healing and when he spoke to us on Monday afternoon, he taught that if we want
those whom we lead to be healthy, we need to model health and healing
ourselves.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">He asked what would it
look like if our students came into our classrooms well-nourished, rested and
ready to learn? Is this an image we wish for? If so, we as leaders must then
set examples for our students and staff. It is nonverbal cues that dominate the
majority of human communication—so what does sipping a coffee in front of the
class everyday say to them? Coffee for breakfast is okay.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">This lesson made me
think of a message I received from one of my students on one of those warm
spring days a few years ago. She sent me me a picture of her prospective outfit
that morning: short shorts and and a tank top. She wanted to know if it was
appropriate for school. I responded by asking her if it would be okay if I came
to school in that outfit? <i>No way!</i> was
her response. <i>Well, there’s your answer</i>,
I said. As an educator I’ve sought to model organization and professionalism
and tranquility, but I hadn’t given much thought about what modeling a healthy
lifestyle looks like.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">It’s like the emergency
procedure message on an airplane: in case of an emergency, secure your air
source before helping those around you. How can we expect our students or staff
to make healthy choices and have healthy habits if we, ourselves, do not?</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">His book, <i>Love Your
Body</i> was a conversational text that taught through anecdotes and case
studies. It gives an alternative to modern medicine, which is filled with
antibiotics and reactive practice, instead of preventative practice. Dr. Taylor
writes, “In conventional approaches to medicine, the “cure” is defined by
whatever makes the symptoms go away.” (p.22) Instead of reacting to aliments by
placating symptoms, we should build healthy lifestyles that nurture health and
wellness.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Chapter 2, “Foundations
for Health,” in particular, instilled a fear in me of dairy, meat, coffee,
alcohol and white sugar. Dr. Taylor wrote extensively about “adrenal overload,”
which is when blood sugar bottoms out due to frequent consumption of sugary
products, habitual dieting, a family history of diabetes, allergies, more than
five alcoholic drinks per week, significant distress over an extended period of
time, or managed pain for an extended period of time, causing your adrenal
system to compensate, since the adrenal system isn’t designed for constant use.
I’ve experienced enough adrenaline-filled moments thus far in my lifetime, but
I was unaware that when I was running on limited sleep or an unhealthy diet, I
was using my adrenaline for survival. According to chapter 2, an optimum diet
and holistic approach can alleviate pre-menstrual symptoms, headaches,
depression, candida, asthma, eczema, ADD, allergies, lung function, psoriasis,
chronic back pain, and arthritis. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">In <i>Love Your Body</i>,
Dr. Taylor focuses on the importance of nutrition throughout our lives. “As
life’s circumstances change, so do the needs of our bodies” (p.29) From birth,
to childhood to old age, nutrition demands vary wildly as we grow, according to
Dr. Taylor. Children need different nutrients and proteins than do teens, than
do adults, because our bodies are ever-evolving. As a former vegetarian, I am
aware of what constitutes a healthy lifestyle, rich in fruits, vegetables and
lean proteins. But I was completely unaware of how our bodys’ needs evolve as
we age. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Optimal health lies in
balancing our lives, according to Dr. Taylor. In <i>Love Your Body </i>he
writes, “The way we relate to our job responsibilities and our pursuit of
money, our parenting, our obligations to school and grades, the seemingly
endless ‘to-do’ lists—these become so dominant in our lives that we often feel
deeply out of balance, or we might be so entrenched in coping strategies that
we don’t even see how out of balance we are” (p. 78). Sometimes I get caught up
in the Western idea that my character is measured by my successes. However,
according to Dr. Taylor, “Healing reminds us that we are human beings, not
human doers.” (p.79). </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 8.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">In his presentation and
in the book, Dr. Taylor recounts a story of a hiker who falls off a cliff. The
hiker calls out for help and God responds, but doesn’t give him the response he
seeks. God tells the hiker to let go, which is terrifying, but only because the
hiker doesn’t know there is a ledge right below him. The lesson is “Sometimes
we need to let go before we can see our way” (p. 105). In order to find a more
healthy life, we must let go of the gluttony in which we are currently
consumed. In <i>Love Your Body</i> Dr. Taylor quotes Lao Tzu, “Only when we are
sick of the sickness/Shall we cease to be sick” (p. 77).</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> In the first few weeks of school, I
always do a brief word study on the word “advocate” with my ELL students. We
dissect the word for meaning, by analyzing its word parts. We discuss the Latin
root <i>voc</i>, meaning “voice” or “to
call.” We identify the prefix <i>ad</i>,
meaning “toward,” indicating direction, tendency or addition. And we recognize
the suffix “-ate,” which makes the word both an adjective and a verb. I teach
the students how to pronounce the word with an emphasis on the <i>o</i> to make it an adjective and an
emphasis on the <i>a</i> to make it a verb.
And then we come up with a class definition for it together (someone who speaks
up for himself or others/ to speak up) and add it to the word wall. I do this
lesson for two reasons—one, to model how to use word parts to learn new words
and two, to begin our year-long journey to become advocates for ourselves and
one another. For as Dewey discerned, schools are not only responsible for the
intellectual learning, but also for helping students learn social and moral
principles that allow them to become independent thinkers, lifelong learners
and productive citizens capable of sustaining democratic life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> So when Dr. Irwin Blumer asked us to
reflect upon why we wanted to become a leader, <i>to advocate</i> was my initial response. I seek to advocate for my
population—it is a group that cannot always speak for itself, but they are the
backbone of our nation and its future. Immigrants are the living, thriving,
continuation of what this country was built upon and as a leader I would like
to </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">b<span style="background: white;">uild understanding and relationship that transcends
language, culture and background. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">In order to refine our definition of leader, we discussed the
difference between a good leader and a great leader. According to Chinese philosopher
Lao Tsu, “</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The wicked leader is he who the people despise. The
good leader is he who the people revere. The great leader is he who the people
say ‘We did it ourselves.’” Immediately I connected the last line to the
classroom and what makes a good teacher. A successful teacher releases
responsibility so that ultimately the students succeed without him or her. In
the same way, building personal investment and community among a staff makes
them the constituents, working hard for its success. This idea is echoed in the
article “Organizational Learning in Schools and School Systems: Improving
Learning, Teaching and Leading” <i>Theory
into Practice</i> 2006. It states, “When all members may lead and exert
professional influence over school and work decisions, individuality and
communality are enhanced” (Collins et al 111). In order to create investment
among the staff, the leader must also develop a strong community and culture. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">But
what is culture? Dr. Blumer challenged us to define culture ourselves. To me, culture
is a set of beliefs and commonalities shared by a group of people. Values are
intricately woven with culture, so to determine and formulate a school culture,
we must have clear values. Dr. Blumer posed the question, “How does one know if
a value is really a value?” His answers: it permeates the organization, it
drives the decisions and there’s a strong reaction when it is violated. The
concept of values is not new, but how many people actually understand and
internalize the values within their school building? Our school values are
Respect, Responsibility, Results and staff and students can parrot the
alliteration when prompted, but do they practice this triad everyday in every
situation? I could list evidence for the affirmative and the negative. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Collinson
et all list the vital components for cognitive change and dissemination of
learning: principal involvement, regular dialogue, encouraging teachers,
providing common planning time, encouraging collaborative work and “fostering
positive norms of continuous improvement of teaching instead of blaming a lack
of student learning on external factors such as society or parents” (110). In
the article “Good Seeds Grow in Strong Cultures,” published in Educational
Leadership, 1985, authors Jon Saphire and Matthew King present the vital
components in a list form “The Cultural Norms that Affect School Improvement”
and Dr. Blumer renames them as “12 Patterns of Behavior and what they get us…” Whatever
their name, these 12 items are norms and values that when integrated into a
school, can make a huge difference in the ability of school improvement
activities to have a lasting effect. Through strong leadership, leaders instill
them and teachers must also commit to them, but then culture can grow and
endure. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Due
to time constraints, we focused on #1, collegiality, which makes sense because
the adults in a building are the models for the students. Saphier and King cite
Barth 1984, and explain “the nature of the relationships among the adults who inhabit
a school has more to do with the school’s quality and character, and with the
accomplishment of its pupils, than any other factor.” (69) Therefore fostering
collegiality nurtures the values amongst the adults so that they can instill
them in the youth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Collegiality
pushes teachers to keep learning and energizes and accelerates their growth in
insight and skillfulness, according to Dr. Blumer. It includes communication,
collaboration, observation, feedback, preparation and teachers teaching each other.
Ultimately, it entails and deepens the trust among a staff so that there is a
culture of support and inquiry. In the research of Saphier and King, their
teacher respondents said, “I wasn’t afraid to bring it up because I know people
here are on my side” and “In this school we resist the notion that teaching is
[a] private activity.” (68)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Saphier
and King characterize an academically effective school by its “structure,
process and climate of values and norms that channel staff and students in the
direction of successful teaching and learning” (67) Both the readings and Dr.
Blumer made it clear that the tenant of leadership is developing a strong culture
and sense of values and norms. And “Good Seeds Grow in Strong Cultures” closes
with the directive: “If we are serious
about school improvement and about attracting and retaining talented people to school
careers, then our highest priority should be to maintain reward structures that
nurture adult growth and sustain the school as an attractive workplace.” (74)
Although the authors penned this advice nearly 30 years ago, more recently
published, Collinson et al reiterates the idea of remaining current and
revising norms and theories oftent, “Organizational learning involved changing
the theories of action, either by refining them or by questioning shared
assumptions and norms to reach new theories-in-use.” (109). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">A
strong sense of self and discernment of one’s own values is imperative. According
to Dr. Blumer, as a leader, “<span style="background: white;">If you don't know
who you are or what you believe, you can't be effective.” So he challenged us
to discern what are our core values, how do we know and how do others know.
After much introspection, I’ve developed three draft values: growing is hard
and that’s okay, everyone has potential for greatness and Listen, Reflect,
Respond. I call these drafts because I am still thinking about what they mean
to me as a leader, educator and citizen. I know these are ideals I value
because I believe life is not easy, but the challenge can be rewarding. I
believe that growing can be painful, but without it, people are stagnant and
one-dimensional. I believe different is okay, diversity builds understanding
and congeniality and that everyone should be bilingual. I seek to inspire
others, ask questions and rephrase and reflect upon professional and personal
experiences, not so that I don’t make mistakes, but so that I make no mistake
twice. It is my hope that through my lessons, leadership and actions, I
demonstrate my values to others. I set high expectations for my students by
giving challenging yet attainable work. I listen to others and reflect on
lessons and conversations and try to change my behavior or practice following
reflection. </span>I approach others deliberately and thoughtfully and choose
my actions and words in a meaningful way. I also value revision, so as I
progress as a leader, I want to hold fast to these values, but allow them also
to be fluid and deepened through every learning experience I encounter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">If my plane had crashed in the desert on a day that would reach
130 degrees Fahrenheit, even with the 15 salvageable items, I would not have
survived alone. Before this simulation, I did not know the value of a raincoat
in the desert, the multiple purposes of a compact mirror, and that the bottle
of salt tablets was actually the red herring. On my own, I was 65 points off
from the expert’s recommendations. Therefore, if I am ever on a plane that
crashes, I would want Lori, Cynthia, Christine, Juliana, and Gabriella there
with me! Then, they would be able to convince me to not walk in the desert
through the night to the mining camp 65 miles away, and I could convince them
that a parachute is actually very valuable once you are already on the ground.
Our group was a model of synergistic problem-solving, proving that working
together gave us a 14% better chance of surviving. Unfortunately, with a team score
of a 56 variance, we would have all still perished, albeit together. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Besides learning that I need to carry my compact mirror with me
everywhere, the simulation proved the proverb, “Two heads are better than one.”
Even with no emergency survival experts in our group, the opportunity to
discuss, debate and collaborate greatly increased our chance for survival in
the simulation, and stands as a lesson for our survival as leaders. All of the
six groups successfully achieved “synergy,” which occurs when the “interactive
efforts of two or more people have a greater impact than the sum of their
independent efforts.” </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">I had heard the term synergy before, but had never seen it modeled
in such a poignant way. It is a process through which the dynamics that individuals
bring to the group help build constructive consensus and is a model of
collaboration. The back of the participant’s booklet provides a diagram of what
constitutes effective solutions. In order for a group to have synergy,
participants must demonstrate four items: 1. Humanistic-Encouraging, 2.
Affiliative, 11. Achievement, and 12. Self-Actualizing. In our group, not one
single leader arose, but instead we each gave the other members an opportunity
to speak and defend their perspectives. The healthy back-and-forth allowed us
to convince each other in a respectful way and revise our original responses.
This met item #1, “Members are constructive, sensitive, and supportive of one
another.” And despite that we were withering in the desert, we “remained friendly,
cooperative and relaxed,” item #2. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">The only problem is that no matter how successful a simulation is,
it is still a simulation. And while we can mimic synergy in an afternoon
reproduction of a plane crash, how do we transfer these skills into the school?
One reason we were so open to collaboration in the desert, was that none of our
group members knew anything about emergency survival. We had a few ideas, like
the parachute could be used as a visual target and give us a shady respite from
the sun, but overall we were stakeholders in survival in general, not married
to the specific items on the list. However in staff meetings, each participant
lobbies for their constituents--their students or staff, for whom they are very
emotionally and professionally invested. Where everyone is an expert there is
enthusiasm and concern, but it is more difficult to maintain the cooperative
atmosphere. In our staff meetings and grade-level meetings a “norm” that is
always included is “assume positive intent,” but often destructive styles of
Competitive, Power and Oppositional arise. Therefore it is not surprising when
the outcome is an ineffective situation. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">The feat of a leader is to channel all of this energy into
something productive. In order to create an effective solution, participants
must produce a balance between quality and acceptance that incorporates
rational skills and processes, task skills knowledge resources and
interpersonal skills and processes. For synergy to occur, not only does each
group member need proficiency in thinking through problems to solutions, he or
she also needs to be able to do so while listening and supporting the
perspectives of others to reach a consensus. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">What I find missing in this Synergistic Problem-Solving Model and
in many grade-level and staff meetings gone awry is trust. While perhaps
implied in the model diagram, without a baseline of trust among a group, it is
nearly impossible to achieve an effective solution. Professionals must trust that
their counterparts are all striving for consensus and supportive. With trust,
participants are willing to compromise and cooperate. As an aspiring leader, I
hope to broaden my strategies for building and fostering trust among a staff,
through experiences such as this simulation. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
Teachers
are innate leaders, for they lead students everyday in the journey of learning.
While I haven’t been the leader of every single activity like Mr. Barry Jentz (class
president, football captain, CEO), I have felt predisposed for leadership and I
found his council quite compelling. He was a dynamic, candid, and genuine
consultant, with anecdotes that were apropos and enlightening and I liked the
interactive format of the lecture-turned discussion.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
What rang most
true with me was how he advised us to placate those who disagree with our
decisions, because inevitably, there will always be people who are dissatisfied
with the verdicts of the leadership. Obviously, one person cannot appease
everyone on staff, but the way to make people valued is to actually listen to
them. A leader does not have to agree with each operative, but she must
validate them as contributors. According to Mr. Jentz, a good leader is not one
who delegates decisions, but educates herself by connecting with each involved
party in order to develop an educated view of the situation. In the classroom,
we teach the students to paraphrase texts and their partners, but how often do
we as adults actually paraphrase each other? Instead, conversations are
competitions for air time. In order to be an admirable leader, we must first
learn how to listen and then how to respond. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Mr. Jentz shared a
story to illustrate how an exceptional leader manages a catastrophe: by
communicating to learn and admitting that he or she does not have the answer
always and immediately, but by researching solutions and gaining knowledge from
invested parties, he or she can deduce a course of action. In his article,
“First Time in a Position of Authority” he phrases it this way: “It’s critical
to your success at the outset that you commit yourself to learning how to
communicate to learn, as opposed to communicate simply to persuade, direct, or
inform.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
What struck me as
I read his article before the lecture was his section explaining the continuum
of being too authoritative or too collaborative. I think about neophyte leaders
with whom I have worked or been in contact and I can identify their exact places
on the continuum. Some are far too collaborative and therefore lose authority,
while others are so authoritative, their employees don’t feel like their
opinions are heard. But what I never conceded was the idea that leaders who act
this way are actually “blind” to the discrepancies between their professed and
actual practice. Shortsightedly, I have judged them. Therefore, Jentz
recommended finding a colleague who could double as an evaluator—someone who
could step back and give you true feedback about the way in which you are truly
representing yourself to the staff.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
With refreshing
honestly, Mr. Jentz spoke with us regarding the challenges and difficulties of
first time-leaders. Those who become leaders often aspire due to their strong
interpersonal skills, but according to Jentz, true leaders thrive when they
become intrapersonal. He said in his
article and reiterated in his lecture: “The task is onerous because you’ll
inevitably be thrown back on yourself as never before and experience a heightened
questioning of how much of what is going on is ‘me’ and how much is ‘them
responding to my role’ or the ‘situation.’” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
The solution? In
the article, Mr. Jentz writes, “So you’ll need to look inward and take on the
task of discovering and changing your attitude toward confusion so that you experience
it not as a liability but as a resource, as a starting place for personal and
organizational learning.” In the lecture, he surmised the advice concisely in
one word: therapy. That was a concept that had never crossed my mind—that
leaders need therapy, but it reminds me of a study I read while I was in
college. “Avoidance behavior and the
development of gastroduodenal ulcers” <i>Brady
et al</i> (1958) is an often-cited study on stress in primates, in which rhesus
monkeys were endowed with the ability to control whether they received electric
shocks. T those with the control developed more ulcers than those monkeys who
passively received the shocks, illustrating how leaders suffer from executive
stress syndrome. Now we as aspiring leaders will not face that particular
scenario, but we will struggle with the dynamics of authority, as Mr. Jentz
presents. Although we may feel the same as yesterday, our place in the
hierarchy has changed, and therefore so have we, and as soon as we reconcile
this difference, we can harness it and not have it harness us.<o:p></o:p></div>

As an ESL inclusion
teacher by day, I’ve heard the word and used the word
“differentiation” very often, but usually in a way of
accommodation and making text or content more accessible for my ESL 3
middle school students. That being said, when I hear the word
“differentiation,” I translate it to be “more work for me”
because it entailed a teacher handing me her lesson plan, saying,
“differentiate this for your students.” Or sitting in a workshop,
thinking about how we could differentiate for ESL’s and SPED
students and it included lesson plans, write-ups, long discussions,
internet searches and all sorts of extra work. To the point when I
would hear “differentiation” and recoil a little bit.</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
But at the
workshop, Debbie Centamore gave me a new perspective on what
differentiation means, and it doesn’t mean all the work that I
thought it did, or that I have put into it. Now does that discredit
all the work I have done? Of course not. And have those
accommodations that I have written for my ESL 3 middle school
students helped them a lot? Of course. But when we were talked about
differentiation strategies in the workshop, I saw that
differentiation can just be as attainable and simple as a thought as
you are leading the lesson.</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
For example, she
had these cards that depicted different situations; I had never seen
them before, but I loved them and I want to get myself some. In adult
ESL classes, she said she passes them out and the students talk,
write or work with a partner about what’s on the card, building
oral or written language. What I learned was that she differentiates
as she hands out the cards deliberately, knowing what your students’
levels are, what their interests are, what their background knowledge
is. Hence, she makes the activity accessible to them and meets them
where they are and I thought, wow, she didn’t have to research that
online or back it up with buzzwords; she didn’t have to spend hours
writing a lesson plan, it was just an in-the-moment decision that
made her students more successful in the class.
</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Now how do I
transfer that to the ABE program? I’m still thinking through that
question. One thing we also talked about during the differentiation
workshop was that teachers could use different types of learners and
multiple intelligences as a means of differentiation and I thought
that was something my ABE students could relate to. Because ABE
students as the lowest-performing adults, sometimes have academic
anxiety because they are low, they’ve have interrupted education,
they are ELL’s… whatever their struggles may be, somehow are only
at a 3<sup>rd</sup> or 4<sup>th</sup> grade reading level or math
level as an adult. So with Gardner’s multiple intelligences and the
types of learners (audio, visual and kinesthetic) in mind, I thought
wouldn’t that be a great opening week activity with my ABE
students, and differentiate it in that they discover which “smart”
they are and in which ways they are smart, just to build some
self-efficacy at the beginning of the semester, and then I can use
that information and use that data to make those split-second
differentiation decisions to be able to support those students.
</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Before this
differentiation workshop, I had no idea the students I would be
getting, except for Carmen; I knew Carmen would be coming back to me.
After our “reaping” as it were (the registration night) and
getting to know my new students just a little bit, I see that they
will be at different places and those little decisions and
differentiating my lessons will be of utmost importance for their
success this semester.

grade) social studies unit developed for an inclusion classroom
setting. It can be adapted for Sheltered English Instruction or
mainstream student populations. The lesson fosters conversation and
higher order thinking skills and text has been adapted to be more
accessible for English language learners. This unit fits into the
middle school study of world geography and civilizations. The lesson
incorporates multimedia footage of today with folktales from the 7</span></span><sup><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">th</span></span></sup><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
century B.C.E. Students will analyze the impact of folktales on the
development of Chinese culture by observing video footage and
retelling a folktale. The folktales give students a sense of the
people and the culture. These stories are an integral part of Chinese
history, rich in language that describes both environment and
sentiment. The tales show the students the history of Hangzhou
through the folklore and oral tradition of its local people. The
footage of the Chinese opera will allow them to see the authentic
ways of oral tradition and compare the different modes of
storytelling. The Chinese opera is an iconic depiction of Chinese
storytelling and history. In this unit, students will analyze the
ways in which a folktale can give Westerners a glimpse of Eastern
history and culture. </span></span>
