Why Do Grades Second-12th Graders Should Have An Open Classroom
I believe that every child has the want to learn. They just need the space and help from someone to feel safe enough to want to learn.
Kindergarteners and first graders would have more structure. It is so that every student has the same knowledge so they can use it in their own way later. They would learn how to read and write, learn their numbers and how to do simple math, and they would learn about science. All of the students will have a test at the end of the lesson unit. These test can be either oral or written depending on the subject. The students would be graded on a one to four scale. Where one is being that they need more help or not understanding the topic. Two being they have some understanding of the topic but either has a lack …show more content…
Each student will have to do at least two projects from the four subjects (math, reading and writing, science, and history). The teacher is there only the help the kid when they get stuck or if they need a little push. The teacher should have a liberal arts degree and being able to think on their feet and quickly find the answer if they don't have it. The students would be tested by their growth. They will do that by taking writing samples throughout the year. I have always been a student who would have benefited from an open classroom. I always wanted to learn something I wanted to learn. I did not like being told what I had to learn. In the eighth grade, I was put into a math class that was not hard enough for me but I soon learned that there was no way to get out of it. So the teacher and I made a deal, that I could go through the ninth grade textbook and learn what I wanted. I just had to take the eighth-grade math tests. I was so happy because it was the closest thing to working on what I wanted to learn. Kindergarten and first graders ideas come from essentialism theory because the only way every kid is going to be able to read and write is if they all learn the same thing and is tested on
