Use the age you would like to teach and answer these questions: 1. What age would you like to teach? 2. What stage are they at developmentally? (piaget) 3. What activities would you do with them in your classroom?
I would like to teach highschoolers. According to Piaget, they would be in the fourth developmental stage...formal operations and therefore have the capacity to think abstractly. I would help this ability especially through writing...having them write essays, creative writing etc.
The kids I would like to teach would be in the concrete operational stage. I'm not sure exactly which grade I'd prefer, but I'd rather teach all subjects, rather than one in the high school. So there would be all kinds of activities going on in the classroom: Social Studies, English, Math, Art-you name it.
I would like to teach children in the preoperational stage. I also am not sure about which exact age I'd prefer but I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy teaching kids preschool through third grade. I would help them discover the world around them through fun activities such as field trips or taking care of an animal in class. I also hope to incorporate a lot of art projects into my lessons.
I would like to begin my career teaching middle school children. According to Piaget, this age group should be in the formal operational stage. Math doesn't involve too much abstract thinking, so my activities will include things like board races. The board races will allow them to compete, something this age group enjoys, and learn at the same time.
I would like to teach Pre-K through 2nd grade. Pre-K through 1st grade are in the preoperational stage. For these grades, I would include hands-on activities as well as incorporating music and movement into my lessons. 2nd grade begins the transition into the concrete operational stage. While including some of the same activities, I would also begin to include brainstorming activities (What if's).
My dream is to be a facilitator (not a "teacher" necessarily)in high school. I think that most kids at the high school level have reached the formal operations stage in which they are able to think more critically and abstractly. I would love to incorporate more discussion into class instead of lecture, and I also think that special speakers and guests to the class make things much more interesting and more real for kids.
I would like to teach elementary students, especially the early grades. So far my goal is to be an elementary art teacher, so I would be working with children in the preoperational to concrete operational stages according to Piaget. Some of the activities I could do with children in these stages include: ~Having conversations about artwork that is easy to grasp and allows the children think about things they can relate to, since they cannot yet fully understand abstract ideas. ~Having discussions together as a group giving every child the opportunity to talk about things in art that interest them, since children in these stages learn from one another.
I would like to teach elementary school, second grade or lower. The children at this age would be at the Preoperational stage. I would want to do many hands-on activities with he children. Such as use counters for numbers that way they can not only see what we are doing but use their hands.
I would look to teach High Schoolers. They are (according to Piaget) in the fourth developmental stage. In this stage I can expect more creativity out of my students (in their Spanish class). I could have them (assuming they have the basics of the language down) do things such as interpret Spanish poetry, or read articles and have discussions over topics like current affairs in Spanish.
I would like to teach high school students. These students would be in the fourth stage of cognitive development--the formal operational stage. Since I want to teach English (for now at least), I would stress the student's freedom of expression in their writing and in various activities where they can share anything with their classmates.
I would like to teach elementary school students Social Studies ( American and World History). According to Piaget, they would range from preoperational to concrete operational stages. Some of the activities I would teach and involve my students in include: Discuss readings and put the student in a historical event position and see how they would act towards it, act out battles or events that happened in World History or American History, for example, Civil War and the Boston Tea Party. And have students discuss their views on these events and ideas they use to interact throughout the classroom.(just have them be themselves and learn about their personalities that could contribute towards the classroom, finding out whose a leader and have everyone be outstanding, just have fun)
I would like to teach younger elementary students so they would probably fall inside the preoperationl or concrete-operational stages. I would like to use songs and games in my teaching to help the kids develop ways to study at a young age.
I like Scott's comment about acting out the topic being learned. I think the students would retain most things that is actively getting them involved. I will be teaching music so doing an opera scene for high schoolers or a song with actions for younger students would help them remember the music.
