Blog 22: Answer #3
EQ: What is the most successful way to teach a kindergarten classroom?
Answer: Fostering a great relationship with parents.
This might sound like an odd answer to my essential question but through out various observations and research I have seen that a parent/teacher relationship is critical for the students learning. Most of this I have seen in service learning, usually a child needs help in homework and some are too shy to speak up and ask for and then depend on their parents to aid them through that. Some parents are oblivious to the issue and some are constantly there aiding their kids. Fostering a great relationship with parents, in my opinion, help increase the attention the child needs and therefore the child had all the help he/she needs. To successfully teach a kindergarten classroom, the student should understand the lesson. It's on the teacher to deliver the lesson and help a much as possible but during school. After the kids go home it is no longer on the teacher but on the parents on helping their children on anything they need help on. Like I said before some parents have busy lives ad sometimes don't realize that even kindergartens struggle with homework and by promoting a relationship with parents as a teacher there is tht confidence to tell them to always check up on their kids homework and to always ask them if they need help or to communicate any problems the teacher missed.

Grading Criteria
- In order to pass the class you needed 62.5 hours

Blog 13: Senior Project 2-Hour House Meeting #1
Answer: The first answer to my EQ is adopting a the Multiple Intelligences Theory.
Evidence: The more I talked to Ms. Watschke, kindergarten teacher in Kellogg Elementary, she kept repeating how teaching styles and techniques were important in the classroom. So I did more research and found the Multiple Intelligences Theory by Howard Gardner which said there are 8 different types of learners. Depending on the person you were weaker or stronger in the 8 different intelligences.
As well the book Educational Psychology by Robert E Slavin gave some evidence that teacher must adapt their way of teaching according to their students.
Resources: Articles on Multiple Intelligences Theory, and the book Educational Psychology by Robert E. Slavin.
