Future Classroom Project

The WebQuest linked below is a good example of an activity I would consider implementing in my future General Science classroom. This activity allows students to work together to research the information, put it together in a visually pleasing manner, and for division of tasks between group members.  This activity would allow students with different talents to have a light shown on their specific skills.

Culturally Responsive Teaching Practices

Expeditionary Learning Blog: In the Spirit

"...collaborating with local professionals as they build their understanding..." (EL)

Encourage students to share their varied perspectives and experiences & create a supportive environment where this can occur. (CRT)

"collaborate to develop rich curriculum the bridges the gap between the classroom and community." (EL)

Build bridges of meaningfulness between home and school experience. (CRT)

"work in groups to solve problems." (EL)

Use small groups to foster collaborative learning. (CRT)

The ideas and educational steps taken in this program support different areas of Culturally Responsive Teaching, and the areas all concern group/collaborative work.
