Student Collaboration
Student Collaboration
In my elemenatry school placement, my cooperating teacher and I created a stop motion project for our 4th grade students. We created groups with their input and modeled collaboration for them.
Together with their groups they decided on a story and scultpted and drew the characters they needed in it.
I taught them how to use a stop motion app and how they had to make little movements, for the movie to work. Standard 8M states that the competent teacher uses digital tools and resources to promote collaborative interactions. We encouraged the students to work together using a new app, and demonstrate collaboration.
Co-taught Lessons
Co-taught Lessons
According to standard 8G, the competent teacher understands the various models of co-teaching and the procedures for implementing them across the curriculum.
This was a lesson I co-taught with another student teacher for an afterschool art lesson for elementary students. We had to learn how to collaborate while planning for the lesson we co-wrote.
We also had to work together to figure out who was going to teach what parts and how to "choreograph" what we were teaching. Since then I have cotaught with other teachers in many different ways and styles of "choreographing."
