“Choose one big idea that has had an impact on your learning and on your approach to teaching. In other words, while the course should have informed and challenged your own thinking, in what way has it affected what you are doing, or will do in your classroom, in your school, or in relation to parents and community? This is the story of your own learning – and teaching – journey”.

My own method: DISDA

1. Discuss with students, how do they set priorities in their course projects.
2. Introduce the priorities matrix to the students and explain its parts.
3. Schedule course project activities according to their and to my priorities helping students decrease the project’ workload.
4. Discuss with the students both project improvements and problems.
5. Adapt the list of priorities if necessary.

Building on: Selecting the new pieces of informa-tion that complete and extend my knowledge and routines. Analyzing how to incorporate them into my teaching (lectures and labs).
Moving forward: Incorporating the new, extended methods and techniques into my teaching in a systematic way! Analyzing students’ reactions to the new methods!

Thinking about learning
• Learning is a social, context dependent, emotional affected, intellectual, active process.
• Learning theories and models address how people learn.
• Teachers learn when they teach.
• There are different learning types in a classroom.
• Teachers have also preferred teaching styles.

– What is a good student?
– Are students learning well?
– How can be learning measured?
– Which type of assessment suits well?
– How to give feedback and when?
– How to evaluate teaching?
