The most striking revelation I had about the teaching of new literacy skills to my students as a result of this course was that teachers can teach these skills across different content areas and age levels. Going into this course I had my doubts about how I could integrate these new literacy skills into my lesson plans for my elementary physical education classes. However, after working on the assignments I was able to better understand how to teach these new skills to my students.
The knowledge and experience gained in this course will influence my teaching practices going forward because I can now integrate the new literacy skills into my daily lesson plans for efficiently. This integration may lead to increased student learning and achievement.
One professional goal that I would like to pursue that builds upon my learning in this course and develops my own information literacy or technology skill is to collaborate with other teachers in my building to integrate each other's content into the daily lesson plans. For example, I would integrate these new literacy skills into my physical education classes while teachers would integrate fitness and health into their classes.
The steps I will take to accomplish this goal include meeting with teachers to plan future units and lesson plans. We would also need time to reflect on our units and lesson plans afterwards. Pre assessments and post assessments would also be needed so we can gather evidence to whether or not this program is a success or not a success. If it is a success, then we could promote this style of learning across our school and district.
