My notes, commentary
To define authentic achievement more
precisely, we rely on three criteria that are
consistent with major proposals in the
restructuring movement: (1) students
construct meaning a produce knowledge,
(2) students use disciplined inquiry to
construct meaning, and (3) students aim
their work toward production of discourse,
products, and performances that have
value or meaning beyond success in
school.
Connections:
Overall, I really enjoyed this article because it really gave me great insight onto how to become a better
teacher. This article and last weeks article over essential questions really helped me find ways to
better teach my future students social studies. We all know that many students do not enjoy social
studies which causes many problems for teachers teaching social studies. A lot of the time, teacher
have a difficult time trying to keep the students involved and paying attention in class. I know that
when I went to high school, I would always here my classmate complaining that they didnt want to go
to social studies class because it was boring. Obviously, I strongly disagreed because I was one of very
few that actually enjoyed the class. This honestly made me really nervous about becoming a social
studies teacher because I wanted to be able to get my students to like the class but I didnt really know
how. By taking this class and by reading last weeks article and this weeks article, has helped me
become more creative with ideas and has made me more confident in becoming a social studies
teacher. Essential questions will help me teach my students because they will actually get my students
to think differently and will engage them in conversation in class activities. Authentic instruction will
help me find different ways to connect to my students by making them think differently, by increasing
their problem solving abilities, and by making them grow in a better understanding of the concept. So,
both of these articles have given me great insight own how to grow as an educator.
