Thursday Teacher Talk Materials and Conditions

Today’s Master class is going to be focused on Materials and Conditions and it is not going to be what you think: we will be discussing, how culture trumps everything, creating positive identities in class that are honoring and how you parents don’t need to be on the defensive but can work on the offensive and breathe life into your children.

Teacher Talk Thursday (on Wednesday)

Intro: This episode we will be focusing on what learning objectives are and how we measure them?
3 Topics of Todays Discussion
1) What are Learning Objectives?
Objectives are very specific, they state clear actions that the student must take to be successful.
2) Why use Learning Objectives?
To gauge and to assess what your student(s) know by the end of the period/week/month/semester and if you all are going to achieve said goals.
3) How are goals different than objectives?
Goals are the overarching aim that is not measurable without specific clear actions repeated (your learning objectives).

Starting WIth the End in Mind with Bex Buzzie Part 2

Why starting with the end in mind will be so helpful.  
Top reasons 
Beginning with the end in mind maximizes the potential of you achieving the desired goal.  
You are starting with a clear understanding of the destination.  
You will also avoid doing things just for the sake of doing them, you can and will be more intentional with your time and resources if you have the end in mind.  
You can think about actions and potential outcomes before they happen and how you will react.  
You are always prepared 
You can determine if an assignment or topic is worth pursuing because you know your final destination.  
Example: If you are looking to lose weight you know planning you meals in advance is very important otherwise you will be scurrying for food and it probably won't be good. 
 
Find out any laws in your state as to what is required for your state.  
Once you know that start mapping it out starting with end in mind.  
I want you to take your paper and jot down  
What are the subjects you want to teach 3 or 4 tops and sure one is an elective like art, music, dance, something in that vein. Right brain Left brain.  
What about those subjects excites you?  
What about those subjects excites your kids? 
Preliminary Research Questions
Take time to find out the cool things in the subject, like subcategories within the subject, maybe some specific niche things.  
What have other people done?  
What are your kids strengths? 
What are they really good at? 
Things you need to think about: 
Are you looking to educate for mastery in this area or a basic understanding?   
As you figure out the subjects look ahead what are the goals for each subject? 
What books or literature are you going to read 
What videos are you going to use? 
What projects are you going to do?   
How are you going to use the Socratic Method to foster critical thinking skills?  
Are you wanting to teach thematic? Spiral?  
Are you wanting to use Montessori style, Charlotte Mason, PBL, inquiry based learning or a little bit of everything?  
Will you be outdoors? Play-based? 
Are you going to write a mission and vision statement for the family?  
Are you going to teach all the subjects or are you going to do some and partner with others?  
My resources that I am deriving information from  
Using Habits of highly effective people has been a great resource.

The Coach Approach Training with Mandi Frost CEO and Founder of Mylifecoach360.com

Intro 
Mandi was born in South Africa and later moved to Zimbabwe in 1996. After moving to America in 2013, she had to adjust to a new life, new community, new culture and new experiences. It has not been an easy journey. 
As a certified academic life coach, veteran home educator, speaker, career coach, and ACC ICF coach,she helps teens and young adults take action to live a life of purpose. Mandi feels coaching improves  motivation, time management, organization, emotional regulation, relationships, mindsets, and helps students with anxiety, life transitions, careers or vocation. 
Mandi also coaches parents with her "The Coach Parent Mindset," which supports parents in "The Coach Approach" to parenting and home education.  This approach transforms relationships as parents help their adolescents take more ownership and responsibility 
Top three takeaways 
What social emotional learning really is, it is a heart transformation in Christ so that children, teens and young adults DO NOT allow their emotions to control and dictate what they do; and they have the tools to understand what is happening to them emotionally and be able to correct their actions. 
Helping kids understand that they may not always feel like doing things and to overcome this and understanding the consequences of not being responsible.  
Teaching a child to take personal responsibility for their actions guiding them in a Socratic manner of questions rather than the boss manager approach most parents and those in authority use.
