Transcript: How are Gimnasio Vermont's teachers and PSU student teachers, in a cross-cultural setting, able to identify differences and similarities in teaching practices? Perceptual and Psychomotor Skills Bilingual IB Mandarin Pruebas Saber 2005 - 2012 1,585 Students 56% girls and 44% boys classroom average of 25 students 85% will graduate from GV Personal Space "Student teacher 1: Right away we were all welcomed into the school, and began the day. The first thing I noticed was how affectionate the students were, right away was the swarm of all male students waiting for their teacher. Once they spotted their teacher, they ran towards her and hugged her, a form of affection that is commonly avoided in the States. Perceptual and Psychomotor Skills Journal I then observed the students practice writing lower and upper case letters. The students knew to write the uppercase letters with a red color pencil, and use a pencil to write the lowercase letters. I noticed that when the students wrote the letters, and copied a sentence the teacher was very particular about how the words were written. She circled or underlined parts that were written beyond or below the designated line. I feel that in the States we are not as particular as they are here, but the students then go back and correct it. I think that it is incredibly helpful to write the uppercase letters in a red color pencil, and lowercase letters in pencil. Focus Group “Colored pencils for CAPS + punctuation helps”. Perceptual and Psychomotor Skills Mentor presentation Student Teacher We talk about cultural proficiency in seminar every few classes, but you cannot be prepared for cultural proficiency until you are placed in the position to adapt to local culture. Co-Teaching What I thought it was very interesting was seeing how they work (student teacher and the mentor) together, because I had the opportunity to also have a mentor at the same time with other interns. To see how they work together and while I was explaining a topic they were not just observing but going though the places answering questions, helping me correct of helping the kids, so I can see how they work together at the school and may be get a little idea of how it works to have some else in the classroom. - I left the student teacher lead the class, - How did you feel about that?- It was very nice, she prepared a game, so she explained something before and then she did a game. The students liked it very much and I thought it was very useful. Maybe it opened my mind because some time we have so much topic to cover, so much to do that you that you think you never have time to do those things… you will be behind… again the game that she did was a short game, very useful and I could see how that helped them understood the topic. So I said ok… may be that is something that I can do next year when I cover this topic I can do that game again. I could divide the group for example in little groups of fours. While I was doing certain math exercises, the student teacher had another activity. The girls (students) design and interview, they wrote and interview for the student teacher, because we were… our next topic was yes no questions in simple present tense. So said this is the perfect opportunity to practice questions with the student teacher… so while a was doing math with the girls that were struggling, the student teacher was going group per group taking five minutes per group because I have 26 students, having five minutes and answering the questions… it was nice because we could do two things at the same time. Every body was on task and every body was happy. - I would like to have more than a week,- Why?- Because a week is not enough, because the student teacher was doing other activities, she was visiting schools and everything. And so here at school we have a seven-day week so I would like her to be the seven days that we have the whole week, for her to see how students advance during that seven-day week. Like for the assessments and everything, because they have the assessments on day seven. Gimnasio Vermont Student Teacher preparation Research Question Teachers Findings NEXT?

Transcript: Our experience together was amazing. We both found out interesting aspects about each ones culture. We had come to realize that Indian and Greek culture have a lot of similarities. However, there were differences as well. What surprised us the most were the similarities in our culture. We both come from religious and cultural backgrounds. We had discussed what our initial reaction happens when we come across a difficult situation or when we feel like something wrong is about to happen. We turn to the Evil Eye expulsion in the hope that the negative energy will be rid of. Deciding The Topic By: Vishali G. and Eleana G. Thank You for Watching!!! Vishali's Prevention From The Evil Eye Cross Cultural Presentation Eleana's Prevention from the Evil Eye In Indian culture, we prevent the Evil Eye by: ~Putting a black dot behind our ears. ~ Tying a black thread around our wrists or ankles. ~ Taking a fistful of flour and circling it around our head eight times. ~ Getting long red cayenne peppers and burning them, after we circle them around our head eight times. We decided our topic to be based on the Evil Eye because of our interests in our cultural background. Once we had our cultural date, we realized that both families take in the influence of the evil eye immensely. The Experience We Had Together Greece India Egypt Turkey Iran Iraq Lebanon Morocco Southern Italy (Naples) The Levant Afghanistan and many more.. Our Families ! What the Evil Eye Means to us In Greek culture we prevent the Evil Eye by.. Placing a black dot behind your ear. Performing a ritual that includes a cup of water, three drops of oil, and a prayer, fallowed by yawns. The person who is believed to have the Evil Eye, drinks from three different areas of the cup. If the oil splits, then it confirms you have the Evil Eye. We know that the ritual is complete and the person did have the Evil Eye when the other person yawns uncontrollably, therefore releasing the bad tension from the Evil Eye. Evil Eye
