My favorite thing that we did this week was was teaching each other in groups. We did his because we were talking about different ways that we can co-teach and what ways are most effective. My group taught the "cup song" and it was interesting to see how fast/slow some people picked up on it. I worked with the slower learners by slowing down the pace and showing it to them in slow motion. After I did this they picked up on it and they we're able to complete the song. Another teacher was working with those who caught on fast and showed them a way to rotate the cup to the person next to you. Even from just this little exercise I learned how important and effective co-teaching can be.
I love how we do so many different group activities in this class. It really helps put things into perspective and allows you to experience it first hand. Co-teaching is a great way to make sure that all students are involved and understanding the material.
I loved teaching in groups too! It was a really good learning experience. I came into the classroom at the very end of your lesson. It looked really fun! It would be interesting to see who picked it up and who didn't.
