Common Nouns within our School

As we design instruction, the verbs are essential!  They tell us what students will do with their learning, how they'll demonstrate mastery.  But, the nouns of education are also important - don't ignore the great things at TMS!

Post-Assessment:  Students set goals in PE early in the based on their fitness scores; now it's time to see if they met their goal - for most, it's not a surprise as they've monitored their progress throughout the year.

Collaboration:  Students give their muscle to help a friend build a birdhouse in tech ed.

Conceptualization:  Students compare the modern day map of Asia by restructuring it into the ancient world view of the region.

Presentation:  Students conducted an experiment of their own and presented their findings the class.

Research:  Students had to build background knowledge before designing the experiment.

Procedure:  Students detailed the steps of their experiment.

Data:  Students need to review data in order to draw conclusions.
So whether your instructional nouns are post-assessment, collaboration, conceptualization, presentation, research, procedure, data, or something else, keep it up because there's great learning at TMS!
