I really enjoyed watching this video. As an assignment for one of my classes, we had to participate in educational "blogging". This is to learn more about what is out there, gain ideas, and share commonalities with people all around our country. I am a visual and kinesthetic learner, so for me, although I can understand and acquire new ideas through blogging, it is extremely helpful to be able to see activities being done rather than just hearing about them.
I have never participated in video blogging, but I am glad a searched around and found this video. Just watching this video makes me want to go check out this school or even teach there for a year to gain more knowledge and to become a better teacher. It seems like an ideal situation for novice teachers. I love how they use so many varied approaches and that the staff make their teachers think about using what they are learning now and applying it to later lessons. In other words, always thinking ahead. I think as a new teacher, this is something I struggle with, but will gain with experience and time.
It was so nice to hear Jean's experience and neat to know that not much has changed at the school. I completely agree that this should be the way that new teachers should learn to teach. Thank you for sharing who you are Bank Street! Keep up the good work!
Wow! Thank you!
