7Cs Survey

The student-perception survey (or 7 Cs Survey) was originally created and refined at Harvard University by Dr. Ron Ferguson. Tailored for grade levels K-2, 3-5 and 6-12, the surveys helped assess teachers’ content knowledge, pedagogy, and relationship-building skills. They allowed students to assess their classroom experience with each teacher across 7 dimensions.  Thus, the ‘Seven Cs’ Surveys, administered through Cambridge Education, measured “what teachers do (what students experience).” I have adapted the survey to measure the impact that online/remote/asynchronous (non-recorded) instruction has had on students.  The seven Cs’ are:

1.  Caring about students (Encouragement and emotional support)
2.  Captivating students (Learning seems interesting and relevant)
3.  Conferring with students (Students sense their ideas are respected)
4.  Clarifying*lessons (Success seems feasible)
5.  Consolidating knowledge (Ideas get connected and integrated)
6.  Challenging*students (Press for effort, perseverance, and rigor)
7.  Controlling*behavior (Culture of cooperation and peer support)

7Cs: Items

I have divided the survey in two parts: “Before Spring Recess” and “After Scoring Recess” to compare and contrast the results. Every one of the 7 dimension has 3 items. Please, select “Totally True”, “Mostly True”, “Somewhat”, “Mostly Untrue” or “Totally Untrue” to evaluate both, “what teachers do and what students experience.” Circle in each item the evaluation that best fits each description.

Drawing: Outdated Theory

Image
  Article: Drawing on an Outdated Theory?  by Jess Dorn It is sometimes said that our brain consists of a left hemisphere that excels in intellectual, rational, verbal, and analytical thinking and a right hemisphere that excels in sensory discrimination and in emotional, nonverbal, and intuitive thinking. However, in the normal brain, with extensive commissural interconnections, the interaction of the two hemispheres is such that we cannot dissociate clearly their specialized functions. Questions 1. Why do so many children have problems with drawing? 2. What is Edward's theory? Explain 3. Why is the theory more of a useful analogy at this point?

Collage: The Ethnosphere

Image
  The class will be introduced to National Geographic's Explorer Wade Davis who teaches about what calls the ethnosphere, a word he uses to describe  the imaginative contributions of humanity to the planet. He makes emphasis on people's stories. They are global resources, just like air, water, and green life.  Just like the biosphere, the ethnosphere is also  threatened by rampant modernization and globalization.  ACTIVITY Collage Collage is a technique of an art production, primarily used in the visual arts, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. Given the materials given in class (National Geographic magazines), create a group collage. After experiencing the activity, plan a lesson with your group members. Sources Tales of the Ethnosphere.
