I think that the INTASC Principles and Blooms Taxonomy teaching skills are important to have in the classroom. It also reminded me a lot of the importance of using different theatre texts in order to implement these higher learning principles in my future classrooms. Because in order to truly put into operation these teaching strategies you would need to use a variety of different texts. This reading made me consider the kind of teacher that I want to be as I looked back and remembered the various teachers that I have had- especially those in high school. There were some who used these principles and others that did not as much. While those teachers who didn’t use as many of the teaching tool s were still good teachers the ones who put into practice these assortments of tactics they were much more effective and I, as the student, learned much more in those classrooms. That is what I want for my students!
