Strategies that will help us in the future



One of my biggest “take-aways” so far in Dr. Behrens class has been sustainable strategies, which is teaching students how to think. This concept has changed my thoughts on how I will teach in my classroom. It seems like a lot of teachers are teaching the students how to take the FCAT, rather than teaching them the basic skills to solve a problem, although I do hope it has gotten better. Also, Dr. Behrens made a great point about strategies that teachers may use in their classes today that probably do not benefit the students in the future, such as, the reading “web”.
I love this class because Dr. Behrens is truly helping us prepare to be a great teacher and makes a point to tell us that things are always changing and growing in the education field.
