Always Learning
As an advocate for learning and teaching I am continuing my quest of knowledge through pursuit of a masters degree.
The goal of all teaching and education is the acquisition of student knowledge.

Foundational Theories
Teaching and Learning Styles

Foundational Theories
3 key teaching theories:
• Behaviorism
• Cognitivism
• Social Constructivism
These theories can be applied to Benjamin Bloom’s Taxonomy of Student Learning
(Reeves, 2011)
Bloom’s Taxonomy (revised)
![Page 5: Teaching and Learning Principles](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013104/58edbcdd1a28ab7c4b8b46bd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Behaviorism
Key educational theorist: Skinner
Goal is for learners to correctly respond to stimuli (Ertmer & Newby, 1993)
Operational conditioning furthers effectiveness (Skinner, 1993)
Positive reinforcement
Negative consequences
Simple recall of information
Does not require higher thinking skills
![Page 6: Teaching and Learning Principles](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013104/58edbcdd1a28ab7c4b8b46bd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Cognitivism
Key educational theorist: Piaget
Increases rigor, higher-order thinking skills required
Requires problem solving and reasoning (Ertmer & Newby, 1993)
Prior knowledge is important to form new connections
![Page 7: Teaching and Learning Principles](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013104/58edbcdd1a28ab7c4b8b46bd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Social Constructivism
Key educational theorist: Vygotsky
Focuses on the needs of society (Shiro, 2013)
Learners become involved (Ertmer & Newby, 1993)
Students seek greater social purpose
![Page 8: Teaching and Learning Principles](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013104/58edbcdd1a28ab7c4b8b46bd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Manifestation of Theories in Education
Learning Theories Elementary education – students remember
and understand often through a behaviorism approach
Secondary education – students apply and analyze knowledge through cognitivism
Tertiary education - addresses social purpose through constructivism
Levels of Education
Tertiary
Secondary
Elementary

Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching
Merges disciplines
Increases problem-solving approaches
Improves educational outcomes
Initiatives, such as STEM and STEAM, are evidence of an interdisciplinary trend emerging

Meeting the Needs of All Learners
Our nation’s diversity continues grows
![Page 11: Teaching and Learning Principles](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013104/58edbcdd1a28ab7c4b8b46bd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Diverse Learners
Meeting the Needs of All Learners
• Bilingual English language learners
• Students with Disabilities
• Transgendered individuals

Bilingualism
1906: Nationality
Act (Texas)
1923: Meyer v.
Nebraska
1954: Brown v.
Board of
Education
1964: Civil Rights
Act
1965: Elementary
& Secondary
Education Act
1968: Bilingual
Education Act
The Nationality Act required students to speak English
Meyer v. Nebraska decided that foreign language education cannot be restricted
Brown v. Board of Ed desegregated schools
The Civil Rights Act outlawed discrimination, requires schools to improve language deficiencies
Elementary & Secondary Education Act was part of the “War on Poverty” to fund schools
The Bilingual Education Act was the first federal legislation to recognize needs of ELLs

Students with Disabilities
1973: 504 1975: IDEA 1990: ADA 2002: NCLB 2004: RTI
Section 504 was part of the Rehabilitation Act to accommodate students
IDEA made public education for students with disabilities possible
ADA prohibits discrimination based on disability
NCLB increased accountability to include students with special needs for adequate yearly progress
RTI aims to increase interventions and decrease special education referrals
![Page 14: Teaching and Learning Principles](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013104/58edbcdd1a28ab7c4b8b46bd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Transgenderism
Bathroom laws continue discriminative practices
San Antonio is one of over 200 cities to protect gender identity discrimination (sanantonio.gov)
Sexual orientation discrimination laws do not currently protect most citizens (ACLU)
Curriculum should challenge heteronormative practices to expand insight (Sumara & Davis, 1999)
![Page 15: Teaching and Learning Principles](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013104/58edbcdd1a28ab7c4b8b46bd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Segregation
Segregation was outlawed over 50 years ago
Efforts of desegregation have improved education for many minority groups
Unfortunately, segregation can still be found within most large school districts
Self-contained special education classrooms exists in most schools
ESL classrooms are a form of segregation

I encourage you to watch this video about a school district in Arizona. It is a mirror example of what I have seen in San Antonio.

The Education Enterprise in the U.S.
A Work in Progress
• Public schooling has existed in the U.S. since the 1600s
• Secondary and tertiary education became more prevalent in the 1900s
• The Progressive Movement increased awareness of relevancy and student experiences
• Education standards vary by state with similarities across the country
• Despite efforts to end inequalities, discrimination and segregation continue to exist

Plan of Action
Teachers must be advocates for students
Students should be advocates for communities
Therefore, a teacher’s role should be to teach students how to advocate for themselves and their communities
