It Starts with a Resume

Presentation Summary

Start your school year, heck, even the first day of class with a resume activity. Imagine students staring at a blank resume template and wondering what to fill in each category. By starting with the end in mind, students know the courses’ ultimate outcome; to fill in skills, experiences, and examples in their resume.  More importantly, students are better focused and prepared for job interviews, career pathways, and the next step of their lives.

Scott’s Media Resume Overview

Contribute to the Pre-session and TPEP Survey

• Take the Presentation / Session TPEP Prioritization Agenda Survey
  • This is a standards-based presentation/session
  • Gathering data from students/teachers can help you prioritize the most engaging content
• Scott placed the TPEP standards which are based on the Danielson Model in a Google Form
  1. What would you like to learn from this session?
  2. What domains and components (Standards) would you like highlighted through this session?
  3. Data gathering is essential for tracking growth, help Scott differentiate the experience to your needs

Review Participant Data To Set Session Goals

• Review the spreadsheet of data (Link is only for Scott to use live)
• Watch Scott’s Session Goal Setting with Data YouTube Tutorial

Top TPEP Requested Component…

• #1 is… 3c Engaging Student Learners (Danielson description PDF), example student behaviors below:
  • Students take the initiative to improve the lesson by (1) modifying a learning task to make it more meaningful or relevant to their needs, (2) suggesting modifications to the grouping patterns used, and/or (3) suggesting modifications or additions to the materials being used.
  • Students have an opportunity for reflection and closure on the lesson to consolidate their understanding.
  • Students are asked to write an essay in the style of Hemingway and to describe which aspects of his style they have incorporated.
  • Students determine which of several tools—e.g., a protractor, spreadsheet, or graphing calculator—would be most suitable to solve a math problem.
  • A student asks whether they might remain in their small groups to complete another section of the activity, rather than work independently.
  • Students identify or create their own learning materials.
  • Students summarize their learning from the lesson.

Post to Our Session Parking Lot

• A Padlet parking lot is a great place for students/teachers to post ideas asynchronously

Play Bingo – sort of…

• SIMPLE TPEP Bingo Card – Danielson (above) (PDF)
• DETAILED TPEP Bingo Card – Danielson (has the State 8) (PDF)
• Playing bingo with standards is a great way to activate the gaming mentality in students/teachers – get them looking, and searching in your curriculum – doing is learning!

Contemplate Scott’s Presentation Goal

Designed with Andragogy for the ADULT Mind

1. Need to know: Adults need to know the reason for learning something.
2. Foundation: Experience (including error) provides the basis for learning activities.
3. Self-concept: Adults need to be responsible for their decisions on education; and involvement in the planning and evaluation of their instruction.
4. Readiness: Adults are most interested in learning subjects having immediate relevance to their work and/or personal lives.
5. Orientation: Adult learning is problem-centered rather than content-oriented.
6. Motivation: Adults respond better to internal versus external motivators.

Remember, Andragogy can be for Young ADULT Minds, too!
