Help me give my students a visual timer. My students are working in groups on different tasks pertaining to one lesson objective. Each student has a group role to fulfill such as a time keeper.
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it’s stupid.” -Albert Einstein
I want my classroom to be a space where all students have a chance to succeed.
In order to create this environment, I must be aware of the many differences that affect student learning. I believe that each and every one of my students are unique. No two students I encounter will be exactly the same. Things such as culture, language, ability, and environment can all lead to learning differences. Diverse students bring diverse thinking and learning styles.It would be ignorant for a teacher to believe that a class full of twenty-five different students is all going to learn the same. (And, in my opinion, a class full of twenty-five students who learn the same should be a teacher’s worst nightmare!) If I believe that each and every one of my students has something to teach me, then I should view learner diversity as a blessing- twenty five unique students means twenty five unique lessons! I feel confident that each student who walks into my classroom has the potential to pass.
My Project
My students are working in heterogeneous groups. Each group has a different activity pertaining to one lesson objective. Each group member has a role to play in their groups such as a facilitator, recorder, speaker, material manager, and a time keeper. The time keeper role is very important as it allows students to use their time effectively and also know when its time to move to another station. This will help my students become independent learners.
Timers are also helpful to special education students as it will help them manage their time to ensure that they complete the task in an appropriate timely manner.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
