Kirsten's 2nd post

When you read the intasc standards, it keeps you as a teacher focused. It helps you evaluate where you are and how you are doing in your teaching. It is like a rubric to keep you on task and making sure you are keeping things student centered. I need to remember these so that I can be constantly re-evaluating where I am at as a teacher. Bloom' taxonomy is really interesting also because it gives definition and meaning to different types of teaching. You can look at what you are wanting your students to gain and apply them to your teaching. It also gives you an objective to work for. As theatre teachers, we understand what an objective is and how it can help us move forward with purpose. It also gives us the tactics to use as well. The 2nd page on Blooms taxonomy talks about how to apply it. It gives you suggestions to use and you can look at these and apply them to your teaching througout the whole year. I really like this list and hope to continue to use it through out my teaching experience.
