Fri, 19 Apr 2019 Linda Dunsmore Alumni Experiences The Importance of Teaching Pronouns Inclusively In a writing classroom, instruction in proper pronoun use is typically limited to a short lesson on pronoun agreement. The pronoun must agree with the antecedent in both gender and quantity. Apart from this, pronouns are not seen as worth much class time; they are assumed to be uncomplicated aspects of the writing process. Many teachers will overlook pronoun disagreement in student writing with the assumption that there are writing errors that are more urgent than instruction in the finer details of pronoun agreement (e.g. the "correct" pairing of the singular "everyone" with the singular "he/she" rather than the colloquial-singular "they"). Pronouns are assumed to be easy to ascribe...  [Read more]

Fri, 18 Oct 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas How Should Teachers Analyze Their Work? It is critical and necessary, that as purveyors of educational content, a teacher ensures they undertake periodic analysis of their methods, rationale, and motivations for the job. Periodic self-analysis is important, as it can be one defining factor in what separates a "good" from a "great" teacher. In my experience as a teacher, I have often used a teaching log to note my findings and experiences in the classroom. Brookfield (1995) defines a teaching log "as a weekly record of the events in a teacher's life that have impressed themselves most vividly on his or her consciousness"(p.72). In this paper, I present four main ideas, based on experience, in favor of a critical self-analytical method...  [Read more]

Mon, 27 Jan 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Why Teaching Productive Skills is so Important Communication is essential for everyday life activities. It's impossible not to communicate.

Communication is built on these four important skills which are divided into Productive Skills (speaking and writing) and Receptive Skills (reading and listening).
