NTI and Teaching So Far
My experience so far has been very pleasant. The tools I learned in NTI has already been effective for me. I felt so confident and equipped starting school again this fall.My students can tell a difference in my classroom also. My intro students are so excited about all of the activities and classroom excercises that they are doing. I also implemented the parking lot and the "light switch transition". My older students (advanced students) are constantly telling me, " Ms. C, you've changed, you're really teaching us this year."
Hey Tamarah,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you are using the parking lot and light switch transition and that it is working for you. Great job. The 10 - 15 minute lecture method is working great for me- the students do not become bored. The Recap method is a great tool, it allows student to have a brief refresher on the past days work. Students work in assigned groups to produce mini projects and presentation. I am mixing up my methods of teaching to keep them interested.
Good luck
