Evidence 1: 21st Century Learning Skill Power Point



Rationale 1:This is a Power Point that I created for EDT 652. This piece of evidence shows that I understand how students learn, and what skills they will need to be successful in the 21st Century. This assignment was created to show what I learned from reading Ian Jukes, Lee Crockett, and Ted McCain's book, //Understanding the Digital Generation: Teaching and Learning in the new Digital Landscape.// This book has had a significant impact on my teaching. The knowledge that I gained has changed how I plan lessons. Now, I develop lessons so that some of the six major 21st Century learning skills are incorporated. This has definitely impacted student learning as I am now much more conscientious of making sure that I teach these skills that my students will need to be successful in their futures.

KSD

2.K.1 The teacher understands how learning occurs -- how students construct knowledge, acquire skills, and develop habits of mind – and how to use instructional strategies that promote student learning for a wide range of student abilities.

//This piece of evidence shows that I am constantly thinking of the different ways my students learn as I am trying to incorporate the 21st Century leaning skills into my daily lessons.//

2.S.3 The teacher assesses students’ thinking and experiences as a basis for instructional activities (i.e., encouraging discussion, listening and responding to group interaction, and eliciting samples of student thinking orally and in writing).

//This evidence shows that I am aware of a variety of learning skills. When I am planning lessons I am thinking about which skills this lesson teaches, and which it may provide practice and reinforcement for. I am also thinking about which skills individual student excel at, and which skills they may need improvement in.//

2.D.2 The teacher is disposed to use students’ strengths as a basis for growth, and their errors as an opportunity for learning . //This is evidence that I know what skills students will need to be successful in the future, and that I believe all students will find success. I try to help students identify their strengths and improve on their weaknesses.//
