10. Teachers
After being interviewed by the school
administration, the eager teaching prospect said:
"Let me see if I've got this right. You want me to go
into that room with all those kids, and fill their every waking moment with a love for learning. And I'm supposed to instill a sense of pride in their ethnicity, modify their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse and even censor their T-shirt messages and dress habits. You want me to wage a war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, check their backpacks for weapons of mass destruction, and raise their self esteem. You want me to teach them patriotism, good citizenship, sportsmanship, fair play, how to register to vote, how to balance a checkbook, and how to apply for a job.

11. I am to check their heads for lice, maintain a safe environment, recognize signs of anti-social behavior, and make sure all students pass EQAO tests, even those who don't come to school regularly or complete any of their assignments. Plus, I am to make sure that all of the students with exceptionalities get an equal education regardless of the extent of their mental or physical handicap. And I am to communicate regularly with the parents by letter, telephone, newsletter and report card. All of this I am to do with just a piece of chalk, a computer, a few books, a bulletin board, a big smile and joy in my heart!!!!!!
I went to Nipissing U – Yes I can!!!!!!!

sometimes it’s correct (hurray)…
and sometimes it’s wrong (ouch)…

18. How can I learn best & show people that I am smart?
Go to
Complete the self test

19. Who is the smartest?

20. Theoretical Premise: Howard Gardner 1983, 2000
People engage in different kinds of thinking
There is a connection between thinking and intelligence
Howard Gardner challenges traditional views of intelligence which he says have centered on only 2 types of intelligence ( linguistic & logical mathematical)
This theory is more appealing cross culturally because other forms of intelligence are valued in other cultures
Real people have a blend of intelligences & teachers must consider instructional strategies that uses all the intelligences

21. Howard Gardner 1983, 2000
Most people are strong in at least one of the intelligence areas.
Historically the traditional “intelligences” were privileged but Gardner proposes that all 8 of his intelligences are of equal value
Teachers have embraced this theory because it is easy to apply to teaching and learning
This theory also provides for alternative forms of assessment. Instead of answering the question “How smart are you?” assessment becomes “How are you smart?”
All intelligences can be taught & nurtured

acknowledges the early work on experiential learning by others in the 1900's, including Rogers, Jung, and Piaget.
fundamental concepts towards our understanding and explaining human learning behaviour, and towards helping others to learn

Kolb's learning theory sets out four distinct learning styles (or preferences), which are based on a four-stage learning cycle.
it offers both a way to understand individual people's different learning styles, and also an explanation of a cycle of experiential learning that applies to us all.

Teachers need to consider:

Readiness Interests Learning Styles/MI
The Expert Panel Report – Education for All discusses the importance of differentiating instruction and provides a description based on the work
of Carol Ann Tomlinson.
Key elements from the organizer used in Education for All will be referenced during this training.
This graphic summarizes the big ideas that teachers must consider when planning to differentiate instruction:
components for differentiating instruction – The Learning Environment, Content, Process, and Product
student characteristics – Readiness, Interests and Learning Styles
Note that readiness includes the knowledge base, experiences and motivation that a child brings to the learning experience.

47. Key Question????
What have you learned (or been reminded of) that makes you a better teacher for today’s society ?

48. One Final Thought for this Session!
If people are not learning the way we teach…
Then maybe we should consider teaching the way they learn.
Whatever you decide to do, do it with all your heart.
