Week 4 Discussion - Equity and Excellence

Equity and Excellence

Monday, January 27, 2020, 11:16 PM

Many of the items listed from the Resource from Montgomery County Schools are used

in my school.

Good/Great teachers do many of these things and its second

nature.

Tomorrow we start a new semester and we will be getting a new set of

students.

I can tell you my class comes to me through the gym doors and I make it

bottle neck and I get each student to introduce themselves to me pronouncing their

name and then ask t

hem what would they like for me to call them.

I always look my

students in the eye, and always try to make sure my body language matches the

situation. Being a physical education teacher most of my learning comes in a

cooperative setting and I also encour

age open discussion and communication in almost

everything we do.

In my school I wish there was more of an emphasis on building relationships with the

students across the board, some teachers are doing it because we are building it into

lesson plans from

the beginning of the semester, while it should be a continuous

practice. Another area where I wish we would improve would be relating instruction to

our students and making it personal to their lives.

Lastly, we need to be better at using

the data we are

collecting to drive our instruction.
