Proposition+3

=**// Proposition 3: Teachers are Responsible for Managing and Monitoring Student Learning //**= = = Energy Jigsaw Lesson __Rationale:__** This unit was created as a part of the course Teaching Science as a part of the MSEd program at the University of New England. I selected this unit because it is reflective of my ability to implement a variety of teaching methods and engage all learners. I accomplish this by considering various learning styles and providing students with choice. Students learn in various ways and at various speeds. In this unit I have provided students with a variety of avenues to arrive at our identified destination. Prior knowledge is built upon and incorporated into learning. Providing students with a framework and setting clear expectations and goals ensures that all students are successful.
 * Artifacts: Alternate Forms of Renewable Energy Science Unit

Science can be a difficult content area for many students to grasp. With many of our text books written at grade levels much higher than students are in. Often times students work so hard at simply reading the text that no meaning is taken away. By creating a unit on alternate forms of renewable energy students can relate the content to thier own lives incorporating it into thier personal schema. Providing various learning opportunities and many hands on experiences allows students to create deeper connections to content creating meaning from thier learning.
