  3. Andrew/Mr. Wheeler/Professor Wheeler • Began as a teacher in 1995 working with young offenders (project D.A.R.E) • Moved to Lake Tahoe to take on a regular grade 3 classroom • Moved back to Canada and began work as a congregate gifted teacher (gr. 7/8) • In my 4th year as a seconded professor • Now back full time at York Street School and the University of Ottawa

  4. My Goals Provide the pedagogical tools for you to feel prepared to teach LA/Arts next year Demonstrate some of the techniques I have learned as I work on the craft of teaching Introduce the concept that each of us is/will be a practicing a craft which requires constant attention Promote the idea of integrating concepts such as peace and justice, human rights, environmental sustainability, and international development into educational curricula and practice

  5. OR • I am the practitioner of the group! • I hope you learn as much or more from what I do that what I way • Want to build a team for you to get to know and have as back up!

  6. My Pedagogy • Group students by ability for learning-group in other ways for showing learning • Use these small groups for instruction (4-10) • 1 Overall expectation- a few summative-many formative=good reporting • Use cross-curricular assignments to get it all done • Track learning skills

  7. Language • Is the skill • Other subjects (Arts, Social Studies, Science…) are the content • Not rocket science, kids need to read, write and talk every day

  8. The Arts • Crucial to a good education and being smart • Are dying in these dark ages • Integrating them into other classes is the only hope!

  9. Balanced Literacy The new buzz word in Language instruction Based on age old instructional techniques-it’s good teaching, too!

  10. Literacy Circles • All group members read the same thing • Each group member is assigned a specific task to do with the reading • Each group member writes down their part to present to the group and for the teacher to look at • This is formative stuff! • Can be used as the backbone to your literacy program

  11. Learning Skills Responsibility Organization Independent Work Collaboration Initiative Self Regulation

  12. Creativity in all this…

  13. Global Cohort • One site, many resources • Where do we start? Environment, drugs, bullying, appreciations for the arts, social issues, native issues, all examples of colossal educational disasters. • Another 42 cute lesson plans about social/environmental injustice ain’t going to make a difference (but will still get you good grades in my class) • What will?

  14. Concerns for PED 3140 • ELL • Overloaded, tired and not successful • Timing issues-too muck too late • Transition from student to professional (attendance, misunderstanding of what is going on)
