- My name is Thea and my preferred pronouns are her/she.
- I am from Moreland Hills, Ohio.
- I play violin on Sundays in John Carroll’s Saint Francis Chapel. I enjoy skiing each weekend.
- What makes me feel most comfortable in a course is a welcoming environment in which open discussion is invited. I enjoy a more casual setting in which there is small group discussion in which the groups then present their ideas to the class. I enjoy hands on activities in which I can learn through exploration.
- What matters to me most about education are the influence and effects of data-driven instruction. Referring to how schools and teachers are motivated by the pending results of standardized testing and how that effects student learning. One article that relates to this is the article “The Dangers of Data Driven Instruction” by Susan B. Neuman. This article gives a critical look at data in the classroom and how it can hinder students instead of its intended benefits. Throughout my siblings and my own school experiences, I have seen how data driven instruction and standardized testing can hurt students. Because of this, I find the topic and the issue to be especially pressing within classrooms today.
- My question for Dr. Shutkin is how you have has seen technology used most and least effectively within a classroom. And if you have any tips for common mistakes of using technology for educational purposes.
