Great leaders lead by example, at least that’s what I learned in Boy Scouts. I learned to tie your knots true, lead by example, and to always be prepared for anything. Thoughts of learning knots came up when reading the chapter’s modeling and the instructional strategies. In order to show each other how to tie a bowline or a sheepshank you need to model the how to tie the knot step by step. Moving away from the world of campfires and knives, this chapters modeling and instructional strategies will find a way into my classroom. I like the QAR method and the KWL Strategy in particular. The question-answer relationship model hit home because the modeling strategy helps encourage students to become aware of using the QAR strategies. The KWL
The article “Boys Scouts Should Not Backtrack on Its Values” by Mathew Staver states about allow homosexual Scouts and Scoutmasters among their ranks. The author is conservative, with outdated beliefs and xenophobic mind. He states if they open places in Scouts for homosexual people “The Scouts would become a sham.” (Mathew Staver, 16) using an event dated in 1999 which in Canada when the Scouts opening positions for homosexual people their membership start fall and disagreeing on allow homosexuals.
If we look at the Kolb (1984) explained how learning has four stages as well as Honey and Mumford learning styles we can see how this can be incorporated into our delivery models. The use of tests for example during the assessment process or conclusion activities in the classroom or assessment can be directly reflected into the Kolb model. Knowing how our students learn will ensure I am delivering my lesson at the right level to our audience using the correct teaching strategies.
In this lesson, I will also differentiate instruction by targeting the EL learners in the classroom. The students will have appropriate think time and the opportunity to discuss questions orally with a partner or group. Sentence frames will be provided, to support appropriate responses and encourage students to use academic language
Boy Scout Mitchell Daneker of East Lampeter Township has joined some select company. A junior at Conestoga Valley High School and a member of Eden-based Boy Scout Troop 83, Daneker has earned the Eagle Scout Award, the highest honor in scouting.
One major controversy in effect today is whether girls should be allowed to join the Boy Scouts of America or should there be a distinct separation between the girls and boys. In the article, “Boy Scouts Face Renewed Push to Let Girls Join the Ranks” by David Crary, several girls across the nation have took it upon themselves to try and join the Boy Scouts of America. Some believe that girls should be able to join in order to gain the same scouting experience as the boys in the organization. Others including myself, believe that if the girl scouts aren’t happy with their scouting, they should take the initiative to make a difference in their own community.
I sit around a table of familiar faces: my fellow scouters, good people I have known for almost twenty years. But the faces are contorted with anger, and their voices are filled with acrimony because of the issue being debated. Should girls be allowed to participate in all programs of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), allowing them to earn the Eagle Scout Award? I feel conflicted as a woman who has been denied entrance to an all-male organization, but my greatest concern is whether this will be the final blow to the integrity of a great American institution. Research about the origins of this controversy brought me to the story of Sydney Ireland, a girl from New York who has called on the BSA to end their discriminatory ban against girl
In the world that we live in today, social justice plays a huge role in the decisions, laws, and actions that people, and the government make. I think it is time to ask ourselves, have we gone too far? We are all familiar with the Boy Scouts of America. They're a wonderful organization that help boys turn into capable men. The Boy Scouts have a law; A scout is "Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent." In other words, a Scout a good citizen, plain and simple. On May 3rd, 2018 the Boy Scouts of America made the announcement that girls will be welcomed into their boy scout program next February. The name, to appeal more to both genders will be changed to Scouts BSA. The girl
Description of the Strategy: The strategy that I used during this lesson was a KWL chart. A KWL chart is where students list what they already know, what they want to know, and what they learned at the end of the lesson. The students each received two sticky notes to record what they already know and what they want to know.
Boy Scouts of America is one of the largest youth groups in the nation that is was well known and popular. But in recent years is has faced a decline in members and donors as American public gradually moved to support LGBT rights. The boy scouts policy did not support these rights so they attracted a lot of attention. I read that in 2012, perhaps in an attempt to reassure conservative church groups, the BSA forcefully reaffirmed its commitment to ban openly gay youth and openly gay adults from scouting. In response, LGBT groups escalated their campaign against BSA's discriminatory policies. Activists gathered thousands of signatures on petitions calling for an end to the gay ban. They called attention to many news stories of the BSA kicking
Scouting will continue to teach respect and dignity to all people regardless of their ethnic background their skin color or their religious believes. The challenge in America is many scouting organizations belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints which may or may not except other religions. However there are many scouting organizations that are not sponsored by the church those organizations will welcome boys from all backgrounds.
All throughout my life, since the age of five, I was an active member in the scouting program. My goal throughout my thirteen plus years in the program, was to earn the rank of Eagle Scout. Growing from a young immature child to a young adult that can effectively plan, execute, and fulfill the requirements of the rank of Eagle Scout.
There are many components that make up literacy. In order to effectively teach students these components the teacher must model the concept for the students. As teachers, we can't expect or assume that the student already knows what we expect of them. Modeling gives students a basis of what to go by. Modeling is the first and most important step in order for the students to gain mastery of a concept. A teacher must also undergo guided practice with the students. A teacher should always provide
At around my age, most adults start to “let go” of their children, giving them more freedom to choose what they want, but also giving them more responsibilities. As of now, I don’t know exactly what career I want, but I have quite a few options. I have played guitar since I was 9 years old, and I am quite skilled at it. I am a very musically-oriented person, and I could possibly find myself in a musical career. Something that I have invested much more time into is Boy Scouts. In the 6th grade, I enrolled in the Boy Scouts of America. Before that, I was a Cub Scout, which started after my first grade year. The BSA is famous for turning boys into responsible, intelligent, disciplined men. Because of this, most companies, when hiring people,
However, the use of modeling, multiple intelligences, scaffolding, and differentiated learning I feel greatly enhanced learning. As a matter of fact, according to Coffey (2013), research showed an effective strategy of instruction is modeling
Originally PBL was used in medical school and in some business curricula for majors. But now it is being used in a wide range of disciplines and with students at various educational levels. According to Pawson et al 2006, PBL is essentially a collaborative, constructivist, and contextualized learning and teaching approach that uses real-life problems to initiate, motivate and focus on construction of new knowledge. PBL is the well-constructed instructional approach and using open-ended or real-life problems by groups of students to work through content to a solution. Its acts as a strategy of studies based on the interaction between students and the teacher, which is characterized by a systematic independent cognitive activity, such as acquiring new knowledge and mastering new modes of activity by tackling
