Instructional Philosophy

Teaching is my passion. I want to help students achieve academic success, self –confidence, and a love of learning. Today’s student is graduating into a fast-paced world where the tree of knowledge is growing exponentially. Technology is evolving at a record pace, too. To be successful in this environment, students must be able to locate valid data, analyze information, communicate and collaborate to come up with creative solutions to real world problems using technology tools. To help this process, I’ve outline some basic student guidelines:



  • “LEARNING IS NOT A SPECTATOR SPORT”- it requires active participation. Recent neurological studies show learning and memory formation are enhanced by engaging multiple areas of the brain involved in speech, sight, hearing, and movement. Student engagement in class is a vital component in knowledge acquisition and success.

  • A POSITIVE ATTITUDE MAKES LEARNING FUN! Science is a wondrous topic with real relevance attitude and willingness to complete assignments not only is the road to success, but makes the course much more enjoyable.

  • What is Science without curiosity? QUESTION… QUESTION…QUESTION- Without questions there can be no discoveries. I expect students to try their best, to step out of their comfort zone and take risks; for it is often through our mistakes that we learn.

  • Every student is unique. We each bring to class our own background, culture, and learning style. Therefore, TEAMWORK and mutual RESPECT is expected from all students.

  • An open line of COMMUNICATION between student, teacher and family is another key ingredient to a successful school experience. I encourage parents to ask their child about class assignments and their progress. Home Access Center (http://homeaccess.dsusd.k12.ca.us/homeaccess) is an important tool for both parents and students to monitor student achievement.

    • Please contact me if you have any concerns or comments. Don’t wait until a concern becomes a problem. Often concerns are misunderstandings that can be easily remedied to the satisfaction of all parties if addressed early. The fastest way to contact me is through email at deborah.dolan@dsusd.us. I look forward to exploring and learning with you this year.

    Rationale for using GO in the classroom
    •Supports differentiation

    •brainstorm, connect, create, and elaborate

    •assume, infer, analyze, prioritize, and judge

    •Encourages students to take ownership in their learning •Provides an opportunity to explore Metacognition patterns
    •Cause students to be engaged and active learners •Create meaningful opportunities to learn •Promotes a deeper understanding of the concepts •Are open-ended allowing for creative and innovative solutions
    •Support collaboration and communication skills •Improve editing skills •Teach outlining skills •Provide opportunities to use Web 2.0 technology skills

    How GO can be used as tools for learning
    •Integrate Critical thinking skills from Bloom’s taxonomy

    • Remembering • Understanding • Applying • Analyzing • Evaluating • Creating

    Bloom's taxonomy

    • Remembering - Recognizing, listing, describing, identifying, retrieving, naming, locating, finding

    • Understanding - Interpreting, Summarizing, inferring, paraphrasing, classifying, comparing, explaining, exemplifying

    • Applying - Implementing, carrying out, using, executing

    • Analyzing - Comparing, organizing, deconstructing, Attributing, outlining, finding, structuring, integrating

    • Evaluating - Checking, hypothesizing, critiquing, Experimenting, judging, testing, Detecting, Monitoring

    • Creating - designing, constructing, planning, producing, inventing, devising, making

    •Tool to help with the writing process •Tool to support communication and collaboration skills
    •Vocabulary improvement •Problem solving •Assessment
    •Brainstorm ideas •Manipulate and organize data •Visualize information •Explore relationships between data points
