WEEK 8 Blog - due October 14

I have loved reading your thoughts on the blog topics.  Some of you have a very good understanding of what the psychology of education is all about.

This blog is a little different.

I would like you to explain the earliest memory you have of school.  Mine was the first day that my mom dropped me off in my Kindergarten classroom. The teacher had me find my name on the board.  I pointed it out and then turned around to find that my mother was gone. I cried and cried.  This is the earliest memory I have about school.  What is yours?

Week 5 - Sept 17 to Sept 23

The focus of this blog will be the Praxis II preparation text.

Under the chapter "Preparing for the content of the plt" there is a subheading called:  Students as Learners.
Under that subheading is another sub category called "Student Learning."  (the reason I put all of this is because some of you have a different edition of the text and the page numbers don't coincide)

Read those pages.  It starts with the topic of ADD and ends with the topic of Visual Learner.

Provide an instructional strategy for dealing with a student who exhibits ONE of the Student Learning factors.

By the time we reach the end of the blog, we should have numerous strategies for each of the issues due to the  larger number of students in this class.  Email me if you have questions.  klsplichal@fhsu.edu

Thanks, Splichal

Week 3 Blog

Hello Everyone,

This post starts the week 3 blogging.  Many of you have been doing an excellent job.  Thank you.  I would like to remind you once again my instructions for blogging.  Please review them.

Week 3:  After analysis of Urie Bronfenbrenner's Bioecological Model of Human Development, describe what happens when one or more components of the Mesosystem breaks down. Careful synthesis of the pages following Bronfenbrenner's model should help.  Namely, Family, Peers, and Teachers.

Providing "examples" always helps fortify your responses.

Thanks, Splichal
