How Can I, As Your Teacher . . .Part 2

Welcome to Edumentality.com!

A Voice for Innovative Education

Edumentality offers practical, teacher‑ready methods and protocols designed to help both new and veteran educators strengthen daily instruction. It supports intentional planning, meaningful feedback, continual assessment, purposeful grouping, and high‑interest systems that keep students reading, writing, thinking, and talking every day. Edumentality shares useful instructional protocols by collecting the practices teachers pass along and making them accessible to others. It doesn’t claim to have created these methods; instead, it credits the educators who share them while recognizing that the original developers may be different from those who contributed them and strives to acknowledge those originators whenever possible.

Study groups are usually encouraged and formed within the college setting, but I have found it is a rare occurrence at the high school level. Why? Why not build self-sufficiency tools for students in high school too? When we incorporate skills that help students get college ready, good things happen! While many may say it isn't feasible for many reasons, transportation before/after school being the biggest factor, educators have to think outside of the box! When I asked my teachers at Cross Creek how they encourage study groups outside of class time, this is what they said:

*Exchange e-mail/phone numbers
*Promote FaceTime/Skype/Online groups
*Use lunchtime/study buddy review
*Assist students in seeking solutions to group study dilemmas
*Provide incentives for successful group study meetings
*Share positive college examples
*Formulate group assignments and projects that require outside class time.
