My inquiry plan is going well. I have realized that my kids do work harder and show more time on task when I use a reward or positive reinforcement. I video taped my lesson and it went very well. My students showed me in the lesson and in the video that have really improved their time on taska nd also showed me that using a system in the classroom such asa reward system really helped them to do so. I video taped an entire lesson in my class for the purpose of playing it back to my students so they could see how their time on task has improved, and the video showed what i expected of them. I told them that what they were watching was what I expected to see everyday to achieve their success. Now I will take the video and work with the tech people at my school to turn the video into a clip that is about 6 or 7 minutes long, to use for this class. I really feel that my inquiry plan is going well and feel that continuing to do this well help improve my students success and how my classroom is run. I think that for the last bit of time that I am workng on my plan I will really see even rgeater results. I plan to continue with this system in my classroom throughout the entire school year and I wil also work to come up with reward options that the students enjoy working towards.
I hope everyone elses plans are going well also and I cant wait to watch the videos. Have a great weekend. Heidi Lindsay

So glad that this plan has worked for you- I especially like that you have engaged the students in this process. I wonder how it will go when the video is not on them. At least you can remind them of what you talked about on the video. Good luck with the editing- that is also a good skill to have.

I am glad for you. If the kids act up you can always use the camera for a prop. Plus having the students see themselves helps them monitor themselves. Now the students can be apart of the reward options. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteThis is great for you and your students. It's wonderful that you will continue this throughout the school year as well. Great job!
