SO MANY EDUCATION
WORDS AND IDEAS!

In the US are many, many,


many education words and
ideas!

We made a
taxonomy of
important words and
ideas you will hear.
We will try to use
the same education
vocabulary so your
head does not
explode!

DRAW A PICTURE ABOUT AN


IMPORTANT EDUCATION
BELIEF IN YOUR COUNTRY

US belief and law:


Everyone goes to
school!

IDEA 1: ALL STUDENTS ARE


INCLUDED AND DESERVE
EQUAL EDUCATION!

In US Classrooms:
Poor students
should learn to
go to college

Girls and boys should


learn the same things

Students with disabilities


are in regular classrooms

Students speak many languages


and come from many countries

IDEA 2: TEACHING IS
STUDENT-CENTERED NOT
TEACHER CENTERED

LESS LECTURE, MORE


STUDENT TALKING

NOT TEACHER CENTERED


(WHERE TEACHER MAKES
ALL DECISIONS)

LESSONS TAUGHT
IN MANY
DIFFERENT WAYS!
STUDENTS
MEASURE THEIR
OWN LEARNING
STUDENTS ASK
QUESTIONS, NOT
JUST ANSWER
QUESTIONS
STUDENTS
SOMETIMES EVEN
GRADE
THEMSELVES

BUTSTUDENT
CENTERED!

1. Test learning often to see every student is learning


2. Design lessons in many ways so every student
learns
3. Examine their own thinking for fairness

3 THINGS TEACHERS IN THE


US MUST DO: THE
TAXONOMY OF QUALITY
TEACHING

(When you hear terms in your workshops, you can


see how the ideas fit the ideas of education in the
US)

THE TAXONOMY IS YOUR


GUIDE!
