Non-Traditional Teaching Methods: Their Uses and Impact on Students

(Dr. Kathie Nunley)

Dr. Kathie Nunley, an educational psychologist, developed a style of teaching, coined as the Layered Curriculum® method, incorporates every type of student.

'Create A Space'

For my Create a Space Assignment, Dr. Bilaniuk let me choose some diagrams from the unit in the textbook for the students to create. The unit the students are working on right now is Optics, more specifically how light is produced. When I was looking through the textbook for ideas, I found 5 diagrams which show how light can interfere with objects and how colour is produced. The 5 pictures below are what I had the students produce.

Classroom Rules

After this year, I'll have been in school for 14 years including junior/senior kindergarten. Throughout these years I've had numerous teachers with all different personalities and teaching styles. One thing that hasn't quite changed throughout the years though is the same rules each teacher seemed to have. Thus, I've developed quite the critique on the rules teachers have set in the classroom.  

We Day National

On Wednesday, April 1, I was invited to attend We Day National an initiative of Free The Children to celebrate, inspire and challenge youth to make a difference both globally and locally. The day was filled with inspiring speeches from actors, activists, and youth who all support and follow Free The Children, along with performances by Free The Children Ambassadors and lessons on how to create change. The day was exciting, fun and an amazing experience, definitely one to remember.
