Bavans comp Mini Celebration QUESTIONS ABOUT THE COMPS We can do anything as long as it shows anything in IE Recall the
preliminary demos of IE last year: Common denominator was the pres demo their understanding of IE in relation to something Sometimes in relation to a subject matter, or a feature of one aspect of IE, but they never told us what IE was about (do not regurgitate what we already know of IE)
Some did modern dance but needed a debrief after My journey Pitfall is a list-like presentation this is what I learned, this is what I learned Pitfall is that you also run out of time and try to demo every single thing they learned Pick only a few and where they
Problematic comps are where you compare Egans work from 3 big ideas like a progressivist or a really poor regurgitation Do you have to have a hand out or ppt (yes or no) You could create a film where you could play and youre here to answer questions Think about what you have done that demo your understanding of IE? What things have you created? Past Assignments? Any moments in the program where something became clearer for you? It helps flush out what was exciting for you. Everyone has 15 minutes today to say help me out here By the end of tomorrow you will have an outline of what you are actually going to do.
IN GROUPS WE GET FEEDBACK ON OUR IDEAS FOR COMPS Bilal binary opposites and the idea of continuum was his aha moment Structural way to talk about his students moods or conflicts Gave his class a language for which to speak Switched over to heroic qualities June 22 class 1
Including role plays which allows them go into a place that is not themselves Lets them over-exaggerate their own feelings and ways of being and allows them to project They can act out but its like a veil they can speak behind Bilals comp is about demonstrating his impression of IE in his classroom and the language of his classroom
Colleen Sandra Alice in Wonderland: Our Journey Through IE Language arts: put in right quotation marks in the sentence or famous lines Punctuation improved: had to stand where the punctuation was and behave that way Still throwing around ideas of AR and NHIs Organization improved When she started it was about gender comparison Some samples of things Science and water droplets Author has power in writing Variety of cognitive tools in the romantic framework pulling in the pieces of the things you did Naming the baby How IE can be used in teaching music How to present: create a pintrest board which will be all the things she created so that she scrolls through Connections to IE and music teaching Found that some things work and some things didnt Naturally using it Historical context of a recorder: recorder timeline and students were put into the timeline
Stephanie Nina June 22 class 2 Some history into her past job and how she found teaching at a MS instead of high school IE saved her in some sense Using IE to teach all the subjects Heroic quality: encouragement, insight, ingenuity helped her to understand MS students better How to teach MS students better Being more excited about the curriculum IE is the Middle School hero Personify IE (like Comic life)
The comp is supposed to bring out what I find exciting Going back to my own values and bringing back who you are (values is what you should be keeping going) Remember your hero and your binary opposites Not fitting in the journey Knowing that the values will shift slightly, have a small opening to shift them, and knowing when to adjust them Not that Im a closed spirit Implementation is key live through the change dont change away from your values address implantation issues Finding the right height and being stretched in different ways Bring out what you find exciting
Shareeda Stopping to smell the roses Relationship between contemplative environment and IE (focusing on details and closely the knowledge is important) Food for thought How conflict can be transformative Her classroom improved because she was able to slow them down Kids knew more detail rather that breadth Even Shareeda has slowed thing down so that the kids have time to really look and learn and experience Kids were proud of their work Not doing a whole other unit but kids still learned in great depth Influenced by Eisner (inspiring ppl to look closely at the form) its all about roses Lets explore and Make it important All were enjoying it
FORM 4 GROUPS TALKING ABOUT ASSIGNMENTS HAND THEM IN WHENEVER Encouraged to hand in as close to June 30th but do not exceed July 10th c A. B. Whats the story on evaluation? Why we want to do things differently (Rationale) Intro anomalies As an IE expert, these are the particular challenges IE poses\ C. Implementation Recommend something June 22 class 3
Provide a few guidelines Annotate the point form Suggest why it may not be working in some contexts What needs to be done to make it more effective D. This part in July Use this time to say this is what Im having trouble with and everyones concern There can be many metanarratives every theory can be a metanarrative The complexity is where the anomalies come in Which set are you going to propose as the metanarrative and which set are you going to propose as the anomalies Can we introduce different anomalies different from our reading? Yes, but most things can be tied back to things in the course
The metanarrative doesnt have to be problematic. Recall the definition of a story: Story that is a way to shape information so that we feel something about the topic. Gillians hope is that we are appalled about how we evaluate students. The metanarrative it is a more abstract, the world of abstraction and theory, tell the story of the world in theoretical abstract terms Whats the big idea
Begin with what engages you.. what bothers you.. Using the readings but may also want to use the readings from the readings. The metanarrative: Accountability and validation Employability Amount of societal resources
Recognizing its historical root: Qualitative assessment has its roots in colonialization and how it has changed Naming the baby Metaphor of a bridge to connect historical moments, it requires an act of building, 2 way traffic, travelling back and forth Idea of self and other in the metanarrative The question of power
June 22 class 4
Evaluation for the betterment of or the control of society (duality, depending on political will or time period, that voice may be louder than the other It should be something powerful for you Emancipation of the student
