It was great to see you Donna and to hear about your time in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Powerful stuff!
Marcus Conyers and I just got back from BrainSMART presentations in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, UAE. There we met more excellent teachers and administrators interested in brain-based teaching and learning! Today it is my pleasure to be meeting up with the wonderful Diane Dahl at NAEYC! Excited:) There we will be sharing information about the brain based teaching programs at NSU.
Diane and All, Delighted to see your group on brain based teaching and look forward to connecting here! We will be sharing information about what effective teachers are doing through the use of some exciting brain based methods in Boston next week. The conference is at the International Association of Cognitive Education and Psychology. Marianne Wolf will also be presenting there about the brain and reading. I'll be posting and tweeting live from the event!
I like your rubric. My partner teacher and I tell the kids that they need to have the word "because" in their thinking stem. This helps them "explain" their thinking.
I'm so glad you're finding success with the stem! My partner teacher came up with the idea and formulated to what we use now.
I also like your summary rubric as well. I find even in Third grade they struggle with summaries. They either give too much info or not enough. Sometimes they focus on elements that are not really that important or they assume you know something.
Blessings.
