Ed Psych Hidden Assignment

The goals I have for this course are:

  1. To gain a greater understanding of how the teenage mind works
  2. How to most effectively teach my students, based on their level of mental development
  3. To learn the most beneficial teaching strategies for my students in my area of content.

Weekly Preparation Plan:

My weekly preparation plan will begin each week on Monday night. I will double check that I have done all of the previous weeks homework & reading, and that it is ready for class on Tuesday Morning. Tuesday I will be sure to write down all of the tasks I need to complete for the coming week. Before Sunday, I will have done my best to complete the homework for the following Tuesday, leaving the next two days to catch mistakes I might have made or assignments I may have forgotten.

Study Strategies:

The study strategies that I will use to understand the content of this class include reading the materials as asked, summarizing what I have read, double checking my knowledge and understanding of key terms, and then creation of a study guide to help me remember and be able to refer back to during study. I usually create a study guide on my own in other classes, but seeing as it is part of the coursework of this class, it will coincide will with my usual study habits.

Question Process:

The process I will follow if I do not understand will be as such:

  1. Refer to the book and course materials
  2. Ask a fellow classmate to see if they caught the answer to the question
  3. Ask the professor for clarification.

I will reach my goals for this course by diligently attending to my assignments, turning them in on time, and doing my best to comprehend the material.
