Content Lesson

Unit Video(s)

  • Please watch the unit videos that discuss positive language. These are videos that explain and describe the C-component of the A-B-C Model, consequence specifically positive language. While watching the video please think about how you can implement this model into your classroom or how you have previously in your classroom. After watching the videos please write one or more Padlet discussing one thing you learned from the video and why it was meaningful to you.

Unit Activities

Please implement the consequence strategy, a positive language with your class or one specific student. Please audio record yourself implementing it with the class. This can take place multiple times throughout the day, for example, at centers, via zoom, individual conversation with a student, or in a whole-class lesson. Please remember to not state any student's name in the submission, especially last names. Submit the audio recording into a google document along with a reflection on what went well with implementing this strategy and what did not. If the consequence strategy, the positive language was not successful, why do you think this is, does it have potential in the future to be successful with your students?

Unit Reflective Journal

At the end of the unit, you will complete a reflection journal. In each journal reflection you will be expected to reflect on the questions:

1. What were your challenges throughout the lesson?

2. How can you apply what you learned in this lesson to your life (past, present, or future)?

3. What are you still curious or confused about?

Please write your reflection journal in a Google document and share it with me, the same document will be used throughout the entire course. You may design it however you would like, with the exception that you can clearly visualize a separation between each unit reflection journal.
