Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Los Angeles District Curriculum

For instance, in Math, students learn about numerical operations, algebraic operations, geometry and measurement, and statistics and probability each year of their math education. The learning builds upon itself year by year so that students have an experience that deepens their knowledge and draws out their problem-solving and mathematical reasoning skills.

In Language Arts, the curriculum focuses on reading literary and informational texts, writing and revising processes, listening, and speaking. The emphasis on all these areas helps to develop critical thinking and analytic skills in students.

California Tutors

My pedagogical practices involve not only a student-centered learning environment but also cooperative learning groups, peer tutoring and assessment, and hands on, one-on-one teaching. I extensively employ differentiated instruction techniques to effectively address the varying needs and abilities of students.
Students learn best if we discover their learning style and skills. It is my goal to help each student do their very best. I enjoy working individually and in small groups because I feel I am better able to help each student when they are not distracted by those around them.
I believe that children can learn more efficiently with the right approach, incentive, and environment.It is important to engage the student’s curiosity and attention to retain learned information better. It is imperative that student experience what they learned in a way they can apply it into their own lives to have better understanding and to make better connections

Chalk Talk: Studying Effectively

Studying is something that is required of all students. Studying can take up a big chunk of a student’s time in a day, however effective studying can decrease the time required to study all the required course materials. Effective studying habits can improve one’s ability to retain information, as well as the speed at which the information is retained. Studying may seem like a difficult task at times, however adding effectiveness to it can make the task seem less daunting. There are a few factors that students must analyze to ensure that they are conducting effective study sessions. The way you view studying can greatly impact the way you study. Rather than viewing studying as a tedious and necessary task, try to view it as a great opportunity to learn about new things and to improve your knowledge. Thinking positively and acknowledging your skills can help to create an efficient study session. Negative thoughts, such as “I will never be able to understand this content,” can really disrupt your mindset and thus produce a study session that is lacking in efficiency and productivity. It is always good to be optimistic towards studying. Another important tip is to avoid comparing yourself to others. Everyone is unique in the sense that they have different skill sets and abilities, thus you should never set someone else’s standards for yourself.
