Shardae, I really agree with what you are saying. I think we as teachers are to get to know our students, so that when it is time for us to teach them,we will know what should be addressed, and therefore the students will learn. And as we are learning about our students we will be able to adapt our instruction so that each student is learning.
ReplyDeleteI understand why we should get to know them, but what do we do with those students who are not willing for us (teachers) to get to know them. How do we reach those parents who don't want to be reached?
ReplyDeleteShardae, I do agree that we need to assess what the students know, and assess their learning styles. This will help in teaching our students. When we know what our students learning styles are, we can adapt the evalutions to fit the students learning styles. This adjustment will give the students a better chance to have success on their evaltions. Other words I think we should teach to the students learning styles, but also test the students to the way they learn. I think this would make the test valid.
