Heartbroken about uc berkeley?
Dude, chill out. Most people embellish on the internet. I had a friend embellish her SAT score by 130 points. She was a smart kid, but sucked at the SATS. As she wasn't going to a American university they didn't really matter so she figured she could bullshit about them to the rest of us. Your resume looks amazing. Extracirriculars, check, lots of AP classes, yeah, SAT scores, GPA on track, leadership skills demonstrated. Your GPA and SAT scores (as current) are on par with their average (meaning they also admitt lots of people with LESSER scores than that). If you're really concerned I'd see your university councellor. My school's academic councellors were amazing. Being such an emotional freak in grade 12 I blubbered all over him once or twice. Possible three times. He used to say that when it came to selective schools the grades were background. It was all about the essay and references. So maybe get a few lined up, practice your writing. Start thinking about what's special/unique about you, what are good experiences you can write about (he used to tell us that a bit of humor was appreciated - that admissions officers look at really boring essays all day long. So just remember that. What I think sucks is I know dumb shits who've gotten into Cal due to athletics. I wouldn't say you're on the dumber side of the "Asian Scale" (I can't even believe I'm talking about this - most Asian students at my highschool just used the "I must compare myself to everyone else with the same about of skin pigment as me" excuse and it bothered me. Srsly. You're smart. Why do you need to compare yourself to Mr-I-Go-To-Math-Summerschoo-Since-Before... There's not reason for that). Look at your classes. You're a bit more arts heavy (with the histories, the English, the Psych, the Music). So why would you bother measuring yourself on that scale, which is more math/science centric.
What is the format of a 4A's Lesson Plan?
A quick Google will give you many examples to follow. Looks like the As are for: activate, acquire, apply, and assess. Activate being to find a way to trigger prior knowledge and get a baseline before instructing. Acquire is for providing new knowledge in some form (lecture, reading, exploring, journaling, viewing, etc.). Apply is formulating the new knowledge into practice by problem-sollving, making a product or presentation, or sharing your new knowledge in some new format. Assess is to check understanding in some formal way-quiz, exit ticket, games, etc
Why do people think taking 5 classes per semester in college is hard?
To make things easier to understand, taking 5 classes per semester is like signing away your weekends in favor of studying more.Unless your time management skills are perfect, you’ll likely put yourself under a lot of pressure.Keep in mind that each class you take will have a number of lectures or seminars a week that could range from anywhere between 45 minutes to 2 hours in some cases.That’s not to mention the countless hours you’ll spend doing assignments and coursework.So since you’ve got 5 classes, your weekly schedule could very likely get filled up very quickly with very few breaks in between. That’s a full 8/9 ‘till 5/6 day, which believe me is NOT what you want to have in university/college. You want as few of those days as possible.On top of that, you’ve got to make sure you’re keeping up with your studies. Doesn’t matter if it’s a science or liberal arts major. You slack off while having 5 classes and it’s going to be very difficult to catch up.I could get into the whole deal with credits and exams/mid-terms but those pretty much speak for themselves.All I can say is that 5 classes per semester does NOT equal 15 hours per six months. Not even 1 class per semester is that much (though that depends on the class but generally it’s not that low).
Teachers, how do you link the content you are teaching in your subject to content from other subjects?
There are a number of different ways that you can do this.In one school, staff from various faculties spent some time together working on an integrated unit. We decided to work on a unit on contact and colonisation together. The unit leant itself well to English, History, and Art.Each teacher selected the appropriate outcomes from their syllabi and we discussed a logical order in which to complete teaching activities.Although we only had one program, each teacher was responsible for teaching their portions of the topic. For example, in English, we studied Aboriginal poetry by Oodgeroo Noonuccal, in art, students looked at dot painting and carving for practical), and famous ingenious artists (for theory), in history, the students studied the impact of colonisation on the indigenous population of the country.The unit culminated in a site study of the Myall Creek Massacre guided by an Aboriginal elder.This was formal integration. Our school actually funded time for us to work together in the planning stages of the unit.However, formal integration is not the only way.I teach German, and I often find ways to incorporate English, geography and history into my teaching, although this is not specifically required by the syllabus.Basically, I look at the outcomes in the syllabus, consider the topics I will cover, and then think about what information my students will need in order to best understand the topic.For some grammar topics, it is helpful if students first understand the concepts in English - so I explain them.When discussing the weather in Germany, it’s first helpful if students understand the way the seasons work in different hemispheres, and the ways that latitude effects climate.For history, it’s helpful if students understand the comparative youth of Australia as a culture, particularly when considering the architecture in Europe. Also, we look at historical events which have impacted the country, particularly the impact of World War 2 and the rise of the Third Reich.I would recommend you sit down with your syllabus and think about what information your students need to help them understand your subject better. then maybe talk to some teachers in different faculties to get some ideas of ways to teach those concepts.

What are they teaching kids in schools today?
Each state has teaching standards that include English, History, Mathematics, and Science. While the standards vary between states, there are national standards for each subject both in subject content and learning skills.Primary School K-3 - Students learn the basics to read, write and compute plus social skills - waiting in line, following directions, and respecting parents, teachers and other students as well as other forms of authority like police.Elementary 4–5 Students read to learn Language Arts, History, Math, and Science. Some schools have Art, Music, Physical Education and Computer Science.Middle School 6–8 Students learn higher levels of English/Language Arts, History, Math, and Science.High School 9–12 Students learn critical thinking skills, research skills, and writing skills.Excellent teaching is based on on excellent planning including standards (national and state), meaningful assessments with reflective thought and modifications, and detailed lessons with appropriate and varied teaching strategies.While the importance of citizenship and civic responsibility are crucial, most teachers know that indoctrination of political views is a waste of time. The best teaching results in students examining facts, exploring and sharing different opinions, using evidence and developing logical and critical thinking.
