One of my goals for you this semester is that you become familiar with the Lindenwood School of Education and what you can expect over the next 4 years of your life. In order to do this, you need to be very familiar with the Lindenwood website, and in particular, the School of Education section of the website. The following link should take you to the School of Education section of the website. http://www.lindenwood.edu/academics/education/ Please browse the site and find something new that you either didn't know before or that you didn't know was on the website. You only have to post one reply this week. It is not necessary that you reply to a classmate. HOWEVER, you must find something on the website that is different than what the previous posts have indicated. Here are a few things to remember while you are looking for information: 1. It must be related to either Education or your Secondary Field of Study. 2. It can be a form you found on the Guide to Undergraduate Teacher Education, but you must specify what the form is about and when you would use it. 3. It can be something about Student Teaching, but be specific about what you learned. 4. It can be something about Foliotek, but be specific about what you learned. 5. It can be something about CBASE or Praxis, but be specific about what you learned. 6. You will not submit information about a form that another student has already posted.
You may also find something that will help you with your LU program on PCCommon in the School of Education Folder. You can either use something found on PCCommon or on the LU website for your blog comment.
The education Advisor Contact Sheet can be found in the School of Education Folder on PCCommon. It is a word document that is found on the first screen after selecting the School of Education Folder. I can't place a direct link from the blog because it is a word document so you will to navigate yourself there.
See you guys next week!

"Code of Ethics" caught my eye when I was looking through the School of Education folder. I wonder if other fields have a "Code of Ethics"...
ReplyDeleteThe first thing that it asks of education students is that they follow rules of the state and their local schools.
"The student should respect diversities in the classroom and plan accordingly" Of course!
Education students should create a safe and healthy learning environment, I think this pertains to the "professionalism of teaching" for blog week four.
Students must collaborate with others positively (god forbid teachers that don't collaborate positively!) haha.
It asks that education students not misinterpret or "falsify" any facts or documents given to them by their schools or any other large corporation...To me, I interpret this as "don't make any mistakes with any information given to you"... hope I didn't misinterpret that or I've already strayed from Lindenwood's code of ethics.
and Finally, it asks that teachers speak with the utmost confidentiality when discussing students with other teachers.
In general I think that these code of ethics are pretty fairgrounded and almost common sense, although I would have to say that there have been a couple of teachers in my life that have not obeyed the code of ethics. There are not a lot of consequences though, only the loss of respect for them, after all it is just a code of ethics.
I was looking under the ePortfolio tab and found the portfolio reflection samples tab. There are samples for the standards 2.1 to 2.11. It shows both the reflection and the rationale.
ReplyDeleteWriting reflections has been difficult for me because I tend to get the rationale and the reflection confused. It also helps you write a reflection using an artifact which I have to do for a paper I am doing that is due next Thursday. This paper will go in my foliotek. Now that I know the samples are there I don't have to worry quite so much about doing it wrong.
The samples were given with the consent of the former student...It also warns of plagiarism.
It's going to be every evident that I am not fimilar with the Lindenwood website because I didn't know there was an education section. Other than finding this very interesting, I found that the Education department has student couseling and resource center. This is really helpful becuase your adviosr isn't always available to talk or help right away, but this center offers another option. It also offers tutoring help and help to cope with changes some people are not completely prepared for.
ReplyDeleteI found out that my major is a K-12 certification. i figured that i would have to decided whether or not to choose secondary or primary certification.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that there was a seperate handbook for student teaching. I thought the only one LU offered was the one that our professors wear out at the beginning of the semester..
ReplyDeleteI didnt know that there is a class called first aid/CPR/sports injuries. Im really hoping that first aid/CPR? and AED will work because I have already taken that class.
ReplyDeleteI found the flyer that has all the dates for the CBASE and the PRAXIS, so now when I want to take it I can just look up the dates online and it also tells you where to sign up, Roemer 106.

ReplyDeleteI found a link on the website that helps with those who are graduating. it is a job search area! Also i found an area where they give us education majors annoucements when things are coming up around school or when the deadlines are! I did not know that this website would be very helpful but it actually is!
ReplyDeleteI'm not incredibly familiar with this area of Lindenwood's website, so a lot of this was new to me, but in my browsing I found an application for student teaching that had a list of documents that had to be submitted before anyone can student teach. It had a nicely organized list of items to check off that had to be turned in and step by step instructions on what needed to be done. I obviously have a ways to go before I would need this, but it's nice to know that when I get there, what I need is all consolidated in one area so that I don't have go searching for it.
ReplyDeleteI was already very familiar with the School of Education's website. However, I had never went to pccommon for Education information. There are a lot of helpful resources on pccommon. Of particular interest was the practicum handbook. Since I am observing 30 hours for EDU110 and 30 hours for EDU380 consecutively this semester, this is a major focus for me.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that the parking rules were posted on the LU website.
ReplyDeleteIn my snooping, I stumbled across the requirements that have to be met to be accepted to the teaching program here at Lindenwood. While we went over this a little bit in class, I did not know that there were two bench marks before being accepted. The first one has been covered multiple times in class: No more than 15 credit hours from education classes, passing of the C-Base, and a minimum of a 2.5 GPA. It was the second benchmark the surprised me. It is not until someone has passed the PRAXIS II that they are admitted to the Teacher Education Program.
ReplyDeleteI learned that just getting a degree does not serve as a license to teach, you still need to get a state teaching certificate.
ReplyDeleteI was already pretty familar with Lindenwood website and the education folders. The one thing I didn't know about was on PCCOMMON in the Education folder. In the folder they have templates for lesson plans. I think this could be really beneficial to students who are student teaching because they have a template they can go off of.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't very familiar with the website in general, but I also didn't know that Lindenwood has a Department of Educational Leadership. It explains the difference between a MA, ED, EDS...etc. I didn't know Lindenwood even had the program, let alone a website explaining the difference in each category of educational leadership.
ReplyDeleteGood job guys. By the way, danny, please find something related to education.
ReplyDeleteSee you tomorrow.
What I found interesting and very helpful was the application process that showed everything that needed to be uploaded to foliotek. Even though students might receive handouts and other things to remind them of what they need to upload, having it on the website where a student can access the information whenever they need to is great.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't really a positive fact, but the program planning worksheets are either not on the website, or they are hiding, because I have searched everywhere and cannot find them. haha Just FYI... :)
ReplyDeleteAs well as some other people, I was not very familar with the education part of the website either. As I was clicking and looking thought folders I found something called the ePortofolio. I then continued to look down the list and clicked on the portfolio templates. I have not yet set up my Foliotek but I am assuming that these are templates to help you as you go. If I'm on the wrong track I would like someone to explain them to me. I clicked thought a few of them to try to figure it out so I hope this is the right guess.
ReplyDeleteI am currently a Junior and taking this class because a class didn't transfer, so I am pretty familiar with the school of education, and the process. The one thing I did find though while searching the website was the praxis website. I read that you can get results earlier by phone for $30. Its a lot of money, but its something I may consider, because I know I will be extremely nervous after taking the test.
ReplyDeleteThis would be my first time looking at this website. I am going into the field for Physical Education. When looking through the site, I came across all the classes that are mandatory to take for this field. But also, when I was reading about them. It explained that those classes were for a certification to teach in Missouri. I was wondering since I leave in Illinois. Will have to take different classes if I want to teach across the river?
ReplyDeleteSomething I didn't know was on the website was the link to a site about the PRAXIS registration and tips. I took the CBASE test and couldn't find any sample tests or study guides online to help me, so I find it extremely helpful that it gives me a sample test and information about what will be on the PRAXIS. I will now feel more prepared when going to take the exam because I can practice taking the sample test before I go take my the real one.
ReplyDeleteI was aware the Education website was available but I honestly haven't had a reason to use it yet so I am not familiar with it. I found it interesting that applying for a license of teaching is something seperate. I gueess I assumed it was associated with getting your degree.
ReplyDeleteI was looking in the School of Education folder on PC common i found the document six learning styles. I was reading them and I never realized that those types of students were classified as different types of learners. After reading them they seem to make sense. For example I fell under number 2,
ReplyDeleteseer/feeler which is a student who learns best by what they are shown and ask alot of questions, also prefer working in groups.
This was my first time poking around the Education part of pccommon. Something I found that I thought was interesting was a list of scholarships and grants teaching in training can get. One grant I thought was interesting was that if you taught in a low income school district for four years you could get a large part of your student loans reduced. Knowing how much in loans I had to take out... its a pretty tempting offer...
ReplyDeleteAs I was on PCcommon looking through the teachers folder a link to a word document made by author Dawna Markova P.H.D
ReplyDeleteIn this word document is stated the 6 learning styles, I think that these learning styles are right on with my own learning styles because throughout my learning experiences in school I have came across people with exact learning styles. With the big jocks in my high school their were some with the #6 learning style which is Mover/ Grover and it states that they use their bodies to learn which I got from that was that they use their athletic talents to move their way through the class room, they felt they didn't have to learn because they are good athletes. Then I was wondering what kind of learning style am I, then as I was going down the list I came across Seer/Feeler which are children that learn by doing what they are shown, they ask a lot of question and generally work well in groups. That is the perfect example of me in the class room, and I believe that the education depart will help me get to were I want to be as a teacher.
