From what I have seen in the classroom the teacher I work with does a lot of extrinsic motivation . She offers candy to them if they get right answers or to get them to answer her questions or go to the board at school. I have also seen her use of the Self-Determination Theory . Every time she creates scenarios that involve the students so that they have fun. She also greets them at the door and talks to them before and after class about their lives. That creates the sense of belonging . She challenges students by asking hard homework or assigning questions for them to look over at home to see if they can solve them before they are taught how to do that. This uses competence . She also has allowed them to choose when the homework should be due for that lesson. (Autonomy) I also noticed that she makes sure the first four bases Maslow's needs hierarchy are met. The deficiency needs . One student has been working late nights at his job to help his family out. He then fell asleep in...

I loved to learn about assessment and seeing it being applied in the class that I am observing. I didnt get the opportunity to talk to my coop teacher about assessment yet and what she likes to do but I can tell you what I have noticed. I saw that the teacher used a lot of formative assessment . She did it informally as she walked around as asked each student if they had a question or why they thought that was the answer. She also asked if they felt good about the subject and what they felt like they needed help on. She also got to assess them formally . She did a quiz one morning about the items that they have been reviewing. She did this to make sure that everyone was on the same page and to see if she could move on to the next topic. The quiz was more of a traditional assessment . I did some bias in the quiz assessment. She decided to do the quiz online through canvas. Each student is suppose to have a chrome book to enter canvas, but some students were not allowed a chrome boo...

Metacognition   This week in the class with my coop teacher I noticed the use of metacognition a few times. The teacher went passed out homework assignments and then instead of just grading them and handing them back, she made notes on the side and handed it back and allowed the student to go back and see what they needed to improve on and hand the homework back in with the new corrected work. This allowed students to go back and look at the problems they needed to redo, then ask how they could fix those problems, and evaluate how they did and what they can change for a test or the next time they work on their homework. This is the metacognitive skills being put to use.       I also remember when I was in high school and my physics teacher co-regulated with us on how to build bottle rockets. She would give us a plan and a time line and would ask if we were staying on track. She also asked what we needed help with and helped us come up with differe...
