Introduction
The past two weeks in my intro to education class we have been observing Jr high classes. This is a great way for students to get "experience" while still in high school, as well as exploring different fields of education.
Observations #1-Mrs. Brown
In the Algebra I class, students actively worked through systems of equations, discussing different solving methods like substitution and elimination. The teacher encouraged critical thinking by asking students to explain their reasoning and apply the math to real-life scenarios, making the lessons feel relevant and engaging.
Observation #2-Mrs.Vines
In the 8th Grade Science class, students worked through a worksheet that focused on heat transfer, applying what they had learned about conduction and convection. The teacher guided the class through each section, prompting students to make connections between the concepts and their everyday experiences.
Biggest Takeaway
Both classrooms shared a focus on active student engagement, where learners were not just passive recipients of information but active participants in their learning. Whether through math or science, encouraging students to think critically and explore concepts on their own makes a lasting impact on their education.
