I have learned about culturally responsive teaching from Ashley. She has shown

literature and differentiation. She has also taught me about how to incorporate
high levels of thinking into the everyday learning environment for students.

Doing science involves testing and observing; learners become scientists who
explore the natural world for themselves. Learning science involves developing
an understanding of concepts, fitting those concepts into preexisting schema, and
applying that learned knowledge to new situations. All learners have preexisting
knowledge of concepts, and a teacher’s role is to build on these ideas to develop
the learners’ understanding.

Teachers’ instruction should be goal-oriented and student-centered, meaning
that the method of instruction will reflect what the objective is for the learner. If a
teacher wants learners to know how to do science, then the students need to do
science; you cannot learn how to do science solely from a teacher telling you
how.
