Generating Student Brain-Based Learning (My Summer 08 Work)

Connecting to student learning, we know that students shuffle into our classrooms with only their cognitive unconscious in operation. Students will often immediately fall into to a set of operational behaviors. Get out notebook…copy anything on the whiteboard…raise hand…say usual responses…etc.

Knowing the behavior of the cognitive unconscious how can teachers both wake up students’ I-Function and initiate student learning?

MEET TOLA ORONTI

My name is Tola Oronti, a 4th grade teacher at Feltonville Intermediate School which is part of the School District of Philadelphia.

I describe myself as a practicing scientist in my everyday life. This is because I am a problem solver in every area. Both in my classroom and out in the real world, I am always confronted with problems but a unique feature about me is that I try my best to solve such problems instead of sweeping them under the carpet.

The first offerring:

The first Friday offerring is a demonstration of a service that I have found very helpful in getting students to do homework that is not simply copied from others . . . and that we teachers don't have to mark.  A few years ago I found a new service that was a web-based means of assigning homework . . . and more importantly having someone else mark

It's me again............

 


I teach Biology in Olney High (705) School. I've been teaching there since 1997 and I don't regret any part of my experience so far.

I'm unique in the sense that I'm genetically "wired" different from everybody else in the program. This will enable me to bring contributions and ideas exclusively different from everybody else's.

What I've done this summer


There are strange things done in the Midnight Sunj

By men who mail for gold

The arctic trails have their secret tails

That would make you blood run cold

The Northern Lights have seen strange sights

 

But the strangest they ever did swee

Was that night on the marge of Lake LeBarge

When I cremated Sam McGee.
