Constructivist Conversations 1. __Hoosiers:__ they are having an open forum, including questions and opinions to and about the new coach. most of what they are talking about is not changing basketball in their town. the coach did alot of listning, remained calm.
 * INTASC. 10. School and community Involvement- The teacher fosters relationships with school collegues, parents, and agencies in the larger community to support students' learning and well being.**

2. __Good bye Mr. Chip:__ INTASC. other teacher's giving advice about the students and how to teach. students doing practicle jokes on the new teacher, students acting wild. head master belives that the new teacher is not cut out for teaching. asking what are you going to do now? early behavior plan key for teachers.

3. __Magic Math:__ learnng the times table of 7's by using tic tac toe. first the teacher sets out 1-9 on the tic tac toe then enters the numbers 0-6 into the tic tac toe, which gives you the multiple of fives. I think its a good strategt to start with, then explain why it make those numbers.
 * INTASC. 4 Multiple Instructional Strategies.**

4. __10 motvational quotes__ All these quote were great. The students always need motivation and to know they can succeed. This video would be great to show on the first day of class to motivate your students.
 * INTASC. 5 Motvation and Management**

5. __Nature vs. Nuture.__ Some psychologist belive nature some believe nurture some belive both. I happen to think both play a role in how we develop. We learn from our parents and genes as well as, our society and friends.

Observations: You Tube Power Teaching

**INTASC 1. Content Pedagogy: The teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry and structures of the discipline he or she teaches and can create learning experiments that make these aspects of subject matter meaningful for students.** ** INTASC STANDARDS ****:** ** 2.

1College - Philosophy class and power teaching (whole brain teaching)

What tools for engagement do you observe? The teacher claps hand uses different movements to be mirrored. The class engages in discussions with each other, which the teacher pronounces class teach. but before all this he lectures than asks a student to repeat what was taught to see if they comprehend and if not, it’s cool and the class goes into discussion with their partners. What strategy for encoding does he use most? He asks question about what was just learned. If the student doesn’t know then the whole class will discuss with their partner.

2. College – Aristotle’s Four Causes

What do you perceive to be one of the essentials of power teaching from observing this clip? I believe engaging the students to teach each other and have hi energy, as well as not lecturing them to sleep are the main essentials of power teaching. The teacher is constantly engaging the class either in discussion or hand movements or mirroring techniques.

3. 4/5th Grade Teacher is 11 years old here

How does she outline “expectations” or “standards” for participation? I don’t remember outline for expectations, but perhaps before the lesson she made those clear or perhaps they where on the board, next to the extra credit.

How does she keep the discussion open ended? By having the class discuss as she calls on them. At one point she asked one girl why she disagreed with another, which at that age I think is phenomenal. She is able to keep the class on tract with the subject but lets them discuss any part of the paper.

4. Critical Thinking Skills in 4th Grade

What impact would this style of teaching make in the schools you have seen? I believe this style of teaching is great, especially for this age group. They have lots of energy to burn, and what better way to do so by learning. The kids seem more focused and less lackadaisical. Seemed to understand the subject more, and allows the teacher to assess that quickly.

5. College instruction on the Basics of Power Teaching

What role do these elements play in this lesson? Humor- gets the students loose excited to learn, show them that this lesson is going to be fun. Gestures- get their kinesthetic style going, moving around not listening to a lecture. Refocusing- allows the teacher to be the center of attention again, enables him/her to teach a new point. What is the most unique thing you see in this clip? In all the clips I was most impressed with how quickly the students were able to retain the information. How much fun they seemed to be having, as well as how this style is able to bring in quite a few different learning styles all into one.
