Hello Dr. Wojcik. As an early education teacher, I understand how important it is to build on prior knowledge when teaching a new concept to my students. To that end, I intend to use a variety of methods. These inlcude exposing students to real-world examples of concepts they're learning, using visual aids appropriate for their age group to help them make connections between concepts, facilitating class discussions to determine where my students need extra help, tailoring my instruction to the specific needs of each child, and employing strategies such as repetition and reinforcement to ensure that they retain the information. My students will succeed in my class because I will provide them with a nurturing and interesting learning environment that is tailored to their specific needs. Through the use of scaffolding, my goal as a teacher is to help my students become independent thinkers, engaged participants in their own education, and responsible for their own growth. Scaffolding is critical in early childhood education, and by using these methods, I will assist my students in building on their existing knowledge to achieve academic success and develop a lifelong love of learning. Hi Emily, I enjoyed reading your post on progressivist educational theory and the social learning theory. It is great to hear that your district's math program is centered around student-led learning and encourages cooperative work, which aligns perfectly with the progressivist theory. I also appreciate how you plan to tie each lesson back to previously learned skills to help your students develop new skills as they progress through the unit. Additionally, incorporating modeling, observation, and imitation in your teaching methods is a great way to support the social learning theory. Overall, it sounds like you have a well-rounded approach to teaching that will be beneficial for your students. Keep up the great work! Hi Emily. It was a pleasure to read your post on progressive educational theory and social learning theory. It is great to hear that your district's math program emphasizes student-led learning and cooperative work, as this aligns perfectly with progressive educational theory. I also like how you intend to assist your students in developing new skills as they progress through the unit by tying each lesson to previously learned skills. Modeling, observation, and imitation are excellent ways to support the social learning theory in your teaching strategies. Overall, you appear to have a well-rounded teaching approach that will benefit your students. Keep up the great work! Hi Joshua, As an early childhood educator, I find that technology can be a useful supplement to my teaching methods, but it should never replace a teacher. I agree that technology can help with differentiation and pacing. In my classroom, I use a variety of technological tools to help my students learn. To visually display and illustrate concepts, I use interactive whiteboards, tablets to provide individualized support, and educational apps to engage my students in learning activities.

I also use digital storytelling tools like Storybird and Book Creator to help my students create and share their stories. To engage my students, I supplement my lessons with online resources such as educational videos, digital textbooks, and interactive games. I believe that technology has the potential to significantly improve my students' educational experiences. However, it is critical to use technology with caution and purpose, with the teacher's role as guide and facilitator of the learning process always taking precedence. Hi Kara. It is fascinating to see the different differentiated instruction strategies you use in your fourth- grade classroom. I like how you allow students to choose and be flexible in group projects and reading material selection. Furthermore, it is beneficial to know that your district provides instructional apps that allow for differentiation based on students' learning needs. Your emphasis on encouraging student ownership of their own learning is admirable. I agree with Tomlinson (2001) that encouraging responsibility improves both classroom management and encourages students to become more independent learners. It is admirable that you provide checklists and color-coded folders for students to keep track of their work and encourage them to move freely between centers. Your differentiated instruction strategy appears well-thought-out and student- centered overall. Keep up the great work!
