Critical Thinking Warm-Up• In your teams, read the situation on the
next slide. Create some questions to ask that can be answered with “yes” or “no.”
• As each group rotates and asks questions to narrow the correct answer to the puzzler, cross out your duplicate questions and think of more.

When Time Stands Still• As a burglar reaches for something
on the mantle, he accidentally knocks over a clock. It falls to the floor, breaks, and stops. The next morning, however, police aren’t able to determine what time the robbery took place. Why not?
![Page 4: Creating Classroom Environments to be Active and Maintain Order, Rigor, and Effective Outcomes](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816625550346895dd9812c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
SAM 136 COAT OF ARMS• Divide you coat of arms into six parts.• Using only symbols:
• What is something that makes you happy about teaching SAM 136
• Your greatest success to date in teaching SAM 136
• Your greatest failure to date in teaching SAM 136
![Page 5: Creating Classroom Environments to be Active and Maintain Order, Rigor, and Effective Outcomes](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816625550346895dd9812c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Something you believe in so strongly that you would never budge regarding teaching in SAM 136
• Something you want to accomplish in SAM 136 before the end of the semester
• What three words do you want your students to use in describing you in SAM 136? (you may use words on this one).
![Page 6: Creating Classroom Environments to be Active and Maintain Order, Rigor, and Effective Outcomes](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816625550346895dd9812c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
You Gain and Maintain Classroom Control Through
• your reputation for effort, flexibility, and availability;
• your reputation for firmness and fairness;• your knowledge of the content;• keeping the students focused and wanting
to learn; • responding forcefully and fairly to
challenges to your authority
![Page 7: Creating Classroom Environments to be Active and Maintain Order, Rigor, and Effective Outcomes](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816625550346895dd9812c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Effort, Flexibility, & Availability
• Try to learn their names, and say them. • Be in the classroom 15 minutes before
class starts. • Start on time. • Encourage them, but avoid one-on-one or
small-group rehashes. These create fairness issues, the bane of higher-level education.
![Page 8: Creating Classroom Environments to be Active and Maintain Order, Rigor, and Effective Outcomes](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816625550346895dd9812c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• If you depend on audiovisuals, part of your effort is the need for a back-up plan when they break.
• Whenever a decision must be made, during class or outside, invite the students to take part.
![Page 9: Creating Classroom Environments to be Active and Maintain Order, Rigor, and Effective Outcomes](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816625550346895dd9812c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• You can tell how you're doing by watching the class. • Smiles and eager responses means you're
doing well. • If there's a room full of frowns, or people
looking at watches and the clock, say, "How are we doing? Too fast? Too slow? Seen this before? Got a better idea of what we could be doing?"
• Listen to what they tell you. They are usually right.
![Page 10: Creating Classroom Environments to be Active and Maintain Order, Rigor, and Effective Outcomes](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816625550346895dd9812c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Firmness and Fairness• Explain why you've asked the class to do
various things. • If there is something about the classroom
that's unacceptable, don't tolerate it. • Keep as relaxed a classroom atmosphere as
possible.
![Page 11: Creating Classroom Environments to be Active and Maintain Order, Rigor, and Effective Outcomes](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816625550346895dd9812c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Fairness includes recognizing • good behavior and effort.
• Say their names. • Praise them for good behavior. • Avoid sarcasm or shouting (indicates loss of
control)
![Page 12: Creating Classroom Environments to be Active and Maintain Order, Rigor, and Effective Outcomes](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816625550346895dd9812c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Knowledge of Content• Students will judge this (rightly) by your
ability to answer their questions.• How you handle questions• Welcome all questions as they arise. • Requests for clarification• Off-topic questions
• Start a lecture with an attention-grabber. • Finish with something about how they will
use this material in the future
![Page 13: Creating Classroom Environments to be Active and Maintain Order, Rigor, and Effective Outcomes](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56816625550346895dd9812c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Keep Students Focused on Wanting to Learn
• MUST be able to explain the content CLEARLY
• With adult learners, use why, because, and you
• Involve the class• Ask questions ranging from knowledge to
evaluation on Bloom’s Taxonomy

Research shows that early learning centers in which infants are trained with letter and
number flashcards
• A. produce children who learn to read and write earlier than their agemates.
• B. may threaten infants’ interest in learning and produce responses much like those of stimulus-deprived infants.
• C. often produce children who are classified as gifted during the elementary school years.

Fishbowl
Should Representative Barton have apologized to BP CEO Tony Hayward for being required to set up a $20B escrow fund for oil spill damages?
