QTC 5 and 6

I noticed that a few of you neglected to post your QTC 5. Please do so ASAP. Also, I made a mistake on the date for the post due tomorrow March 10th. Please do your QTC 6 this week. Because I made a mistake, please consider the deadline extended until Wednesday, should you need it.

Post 5 (Chapter 6): To be completed by Monday, March 3rd (choose one)

a) What are the essential skills and/or learning outcomes you want your students to know and be able to do that relate to cognitive learning?

b) Consider your CSEL intervention case study.  Are there tools from a cognitive view of learning for either encouraging productive behaviors or discouraging undesirable behaviors that you could apply to the case?  What are they?  

(For Educational Interpreting Students: ) If you interpret for a student throughout the course of a school day, what strategies could you. employ to help your student become increasingly independent and to develop long-term memory storage of things like signs for course specific language, class schedule,  etc. Identify at least one strategy for long-term memory storage to: (1) promote metacognition, (2) encourage meaningful learning, and (3) make use of mnemonics. 

Post 6 (Chapter 7): To be completed by Monday, March 10th

For Chapter 7, you will be responsible for creating QTC.  Create two questions, one that requires lower-order thinking skills (as described by Bloom: knowing, understanding, applying) and one that requires higher-order thinking skills (as described by Bloom: analyzing, synthesizing, creating).  You will categorize your questions so people can see what level you think it is.  

Here is an example question: (1) What is the difference between informal and formal assessments and which do you think will be most effective in your classroom? (memory/apply) Along with creating questions, you will choose another student’s questions to both answer and comment upon.  For example, you might think the question they asked could fit into more than one of Bloom’s categories, so you would explain that after answering it. Post these on the class blog and find another’s question to answer.
