Module 2: Philosophical Foundations of Education and Curriculum Design Planning

-
Over the past week, Ashley Pagan and I collaborated on the philosophical foundations of education & curriculum design planning module 2 assignment. We decided to use Popplet to create a visual representation of our learning from the course readings. At the beginning of the process, we decided to use a google doc to share our notes with each other. In the google doc we color-coded our notes so we could easily see each other's ideas.

Through our review of the research, we found there was a number of connections and quotes that we wanted to include. However, we worried that if we continued to expand out Popplet that it would become difficult to see the connections. For this reason, Ashley proposed that we create a chart in addi...

Section 1: Choosing a Professional Community  When considering a context for professional practices I first started by evaluated an area of need in my professional resources. I currently enjoy utilizing a variety of online professional resources including CultofPedagogy. Last year, I also joined a facebook group Reading and Writing Workshop in International Schools and Units of Study in Middle School: Reading and Writing Workshops TCRWP to support my professional growth in a school that has adopted the Reading and Writing Workshop model from Teachers College at Columbia University. I have found these groups to be a valuable resource to ask questions and obtain resources for Reading and Writing Workshop. When considering my current role and professional communities I wanted to investigate professional resources specifically for teachers working with students with exceptionalities.  In my current role, I work as a Student Support Teacher supporting students with ...
