6/29: An Introduction

My name is Elyse, and I'm an English teacher at DelSesto Middle School. This past year, I taught ELA and ELD to 6th-, 7th-, and 8th-graders, which was be exhausting, but was ultimately an impetus for professional growth. At DelSesto, I learn at least ten new things a day. Even during distance learning, I find that there are so many newly-manifested ways in which I can become a better educator. 

I'm from New Jersey, and I moved here less than a year ago to teach in the district. There is a very special place in my heart for Providence, and I'm excited to be here another year. Even if the bagels aren't as good.

Between college and this glamorous job, I lived in Spain. I was there for about two and a half years in total, and I am officially hooked. It's a true testament to my passion for education and my love for our DelSesto community that I left my beloved Spain at all.

Maybe I'll go back someday, but for now, I know I'm much more needed here. Plus, I've learned many a Latin slang word since moving here, so my ever-improving Spanish is doing just that. I'm looking forward to learning more about using media in the classroom, especially now as our curriculum is changing and distance learning remains a very real reality.

7/7: School in a Cloud

I really appreciated Sugata Mirta's TED talk about his "school in a cloud." We talk so much about the manifold advantages and disadvantages school districts face, but I don't think we put enough effort, energy, or resources into actually creating change in those underserved communities. What would it mean to distribute Chromebooks to all of our kids? What would it mean to inspire curiosity and forgo the pressures of relentless testing? Mirta's students in India engaged in learning because it was relevant to them. As Wesch reminds us, we must  engage students in that which interests them. Testing does not interest them. We know this. We also know we need data, so how can we balance these two drastically different needs (admin v. students)? It is perhaps an age old question, but what can we do about it? Mirta asks newer questions. Can we level the playing filed? Is it really just a matter of resources? Willing knowing every be obsolete? Are we adapting to a changin...

6/30: Wesch and the revitalization of grading policies

Imagen
In Wesch's video "What Baby George Taught Me About Learning," he describes the experience of watching his child repeatedly fall off the bottom step of their staircase. Inspired by his son's persistence and resilience, Wesch has an epiphany: why not restructure our academic grading system in order to accommodate the different strengths and learning styles of our students?  Last year at my school, we used a curriculum whose principal metaphor was a mountain. Posters of mountains decorated the walls of our classroom; some teachers went as far as to create stickers of each of their students and move them up the mountain as they completed assignments. In it of itself, the metaphor is wonderful. As Wesch says, why not encourage success? Why not have successful students help the ones who are struggling?  The problem with putting this metaphor into practice is that is does not serve all students. Students need to see value in climbing the mountain or they aren't going to...
