Engaged!

Be the Life PreserverTeaching to the student’s level and reaching new depths – online.

Whether a life preserver to a new swimmer, a parent holding the hand of a new walking toddler, a teacher in a classroom, or a coach to an Olympian, to move the person further one will:      Meet the student where they are.      Teach new concepts or ways of doing things.      Instruct on how to implement new knowledge.      Encourage the student to move farther, past where they have previously been.

When one teaches another person a task, a concept, an idea, the one teaching must meet the student where they are at, in order to bring them farther academically, mentally or idealistically. This process isreferred to as tiered instruction and differentiation. I would argue, it is best practices for teaching someone any type of new information or task. Why is differentiating the instruction important? What does thislook like in the classroom? How does this apply to the online learning environment?

Why is differentiating the instruction important?

In the list above, many teachers and professors meet the criteria of the middle points by focusing on #2, Teach new concepts or ways of doing things, and #3, Instruct on how to implement new knowledge, yetmiss the critical beginning and end, that being 1. Meet the student where they are, and 4. Encourage the student to move farther, past where they have previously been. To make learning  relevant to the studentthey need to connect the new information to the knowledge piece they already have, and then go deeper and farther, with new connections and knowledge gained.

What does this look like in the classroom?

A common misconception is that one needs to create three separate complete lessons for each one lesson of content in order to reach all levels – struggling, general and high ability students. One lesson can becreated, yet activities to reinforce learning can be tiered, based on student learning levels. Offer choices for activities, where possible, yet structured to show the same mastery of content across all studentactivities, assignments and projects. By differentiating, all student levels are met, so all levels of learning and engagement is improved.

One can do this by pre-assessing and grouping students to assign activities or projects, or create a choice board or list for students to self-select which activity or project to do. 

This follows Universal Design for Learning (UDL) guidelines and also can address different learning types. Giving choices is a best practice in adult learning strategy that many instructors forget to include intheir teaching.

How does this apply to the online learning environment?

Be inclusive of all learners by:         Offering choices of activities and projects to reinforce learning and show mastery of content, which will include different learning levels and styles         Allow different paced learning to meet student needs

Make available 2-3 weeks of weekly instructional content at a time for students who work at a fast-pace (gifted learners) or have professional or personal conflicts from one week to the next and need to modifytheir class time to complete the work. One needs to remember that adult learners have other commitments in life, which in some instances makes a face-to-face class not an option, so an online course to modifytheir class time is necessary. This also helps a struggling learner to see a bigger picture and see the direction of the course and assignments without seeing all of the course weeks at once, which mightoverwhelm some students.Are you the life preserver to support the student and take the student to new depths not previously discovered or the buoy that holds the student up in the same place where they started? BE the life preserver andtake them farther!  Written by Kelley E.B. Senkowski, M.Ed., Online Design Consultant, Ferris State University

MY VOTE MATTERS!Initiating a Dialogue about the November 6, 2018 Michigan Elections

CAMPUS WIDE PUBLIC SPEAKING CONTEST: October 29, 2018

According to the Michigan Secretary of State, only 17.4% of totaleligible Michigan voters turned out for the last election that chose a new

Governor.

Michigan voters will be choosing a new governor, new senators, deciding the fate of Marijuana Regulation (prop 1); the fate of how votingdistricts are decided (prop 2), and making certain voting rights part of the MI state constitution (prop 3)

Details: In 6-8 minutes inform or persuade us on some aspect of these ballot issues or the governor race in Michigan. Where does each candidate for governor stand on different important issues that affectMichigan residents?? Is there an issue that none of these candidates are paying attention to that they SHOULD be discussing in their campaigns? Should Marijuana be legalized similar to alcohol? What are thepros and cons of that regulation method? What are the pros and cons to the Voters Not Politicians proposal to create an independent committee to redraw voting districts (also called gerrymandering)? What ISgerrymandering and why is it important? Should we amend the Michigan State Constitution? For example, should a no excuse absentee ballot be allowed (e.g. you can get an absentee ballot without having togive a reason)? You might inform us on why voting in a mid-term election is crucial. You might persuade us that one candidate for the U.S senate is better than the others and should be voted for. Whatever you

decide to inform or persuade us, make it about the November 6th, 2018 Michigan Ballot.

ANY speech that addresses an issue relevant to the midterm elections is welcome!
