This week in my CEP 810 class we were tasked with defining learning while reading Bransford, Brown & Cocking’s, (2000), How people learn: Brain, mind, experience and school. In the second chapter the differences between a novice and expert learner are discussed. Preexisting knowledge was brought up a few times, and that had me thinking about my own students. As a first grade teacher, in a low income school district most of my students come to school with little preexisting knowledge other than what they obtained in Kindergarten. In this essay I reflect on what I read and how it relates to my own classroom. As well as, what I need to consider as a teacher to make sure my expertise in first grade curriculum is taught in a way my students can engage in and ultimately understand. I welcome your feedback and hope you enjoy my brief essay which you can find here.
