Mrs. Jernigan applies various learning frameworks in her 1st grade classroom, including Bloom's Taxonomy, Marzano's Dimensions of Learning, and Costa and Kallick's 16 Habits of Mind. She uses Bloom's Taxonomy to raise the level of difficulty of questions over the year, from basic recall to more complex thinking. For Marzano's Dimensions, she focuses on building positive attitudes, integrating knowledge, extending learning, applying knowledge, and developing productive habits. Key Habits of Mind emphasized are persistence, listening, accuracy, and cooperative learning. The presentation concludes with an introduction to an online discussion platform called "TED Conversations."

1. Hello and Welcome to
Mrs. Jernigan’s Class

2. During this presentation, you will
discover how I apply the following
things in my classroom:
 Bloom’s Taxonomy with Thinking Skills
 Demonstrated Thinking Skills
 Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy
 Marzano’s Dimensions of Learning
 Costa and Kallick’s 16 Habits of Mind

3. *How I apply Bloom’s Taxonomy
with Thinking Skills
When your child first enters First Grade, I take
the first few weeks to allow them to recall what
they learned in kindergarten. This time of
reflection is beneficial because some children
forget this information during the summer.
According to Bloom’s Taxonomy, once this is
done, I start raising the level of difficulty within
my teaching. The students will go from basic
questions to more complex questions over the
course of the year.

4. Tiers of Bloom’s Taxonomy
Evaluation
Synethesis
Analysis
Application
Comprehension
Knowledge

5. What is Knowledge?
 The ability to remember previously
learned material.
 Upon entering First Grade, my students
are asked to recite their alphabets and
sounds, write their alphabets, count to
ten, write their names, name the vowels.

6. What is Comprehension?
 The ability to grasp the meaning of material.
 In my class, I give my students number
words for ex. eight, ten, seven. The students
will have to write the numbers for each word.
(8), (10), (7). Doing this allows me to know
if they comprehend when they see a number
word, it correlates to a number.

7. What is Application?
 The ability to use learned material in new and
concrete situations.
During our lesson on safety, I put the students in 4 groups and each
group will be given a safety tip.
 1.Always look both ways before crossing the street.
 2.Never talk to strangers.
 3. Never touch needles or guns.
 4. Always wear a helmet when riding your bike.
The students will act out these situations. By dramatizing
these safety tips, the students are able to apply what they have
learned in class.

8. What is Analysis?
 The ability to break down material into its
component parts so that its organizational
structure may be understood.
 For example, during our lesson on the body, I
take the heart and brain and the students
analyze the relationship between the two and
how we need them both to live.

9. What is Synthesis?
 The ability to put parts together to form a new
whole.
 During our lesson on fractions, the students are
given a fraction puzzle and are asked to put the
puzzle together. They are then asked to take
away some of the puzzle pieces and determine
what of the puzzle is missing.

10. What is Evaluation?
 The ability to judge the value of material for
a given purpose.
 When evaluating my student’s work, I use a
lot of rubrics for the students’ projects in
class. This allows the students to know
exactly what is expected of them and how to
obtain their desired grade and it makes sure
that their projects are done accurately and
correctly.

12. What is
Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy?
Blooms’ Taxonomy is a critical element or
guideline that should use when teaching
Which includes Recalling, Summarizing,
Classifying, Organizing, and Recognizing.

13. Here are examples of how I apply
Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy in my
classroom
 Recalling—The students will name the four seasons
and draw a picture for each.
 Summarizing—After I read a Read Aloud book, the
students will tell me a synopsis of the story.
 Classify—The students will group a list of animals as
mammals or non mammals.
 Organizining—The students will put the flash cards in
abc order.
 Recognizing—The students will be asked to touch the
letter, dipthong or letter pattern that makes the
correct sound at the beginning of the given words.

14. How do I apply Marzano’s
Dimensions of Learning in my
classroom?
There are 5 dimensions of Marzano’s Dimensions
of Learning which are:
1.Positive Attitudes and Perceptions Learning
2. Acquisition and Integrating of Knowledge
3.Extension and refinement of Knowledge
4.Meaningful Use of Knowledge
5.Productive Habits of Mind

15. Positive Attitudes and Perceptions
Learning
 I think that students learn best when they
are comfortable and feel safe and secure in
the classroom. It is very important for me to
se my classroom rules, and make sure my
students not only understands them but they
also follow the rules in order to have a
classroom environment that is conducive to
learning.

16. Acquisition and Integration of
Knowledge
 When presenting my lessons, I often use a KWL
chart which allows the students to access prior
knowledge by telling me what they already know
about the topic (K). What they want to know
allows me the students to collaborate an
brainstorm ideas about what they want to learn
about the topic (W). What the students learned
is my opportunity to ensure that I have not only
taught the lesson to fidelity but also answered all
of their questions that my students had about
the topic (L).

17. Extension and Refinement of
Knowledge
It’s not only important for my students to
understand a lesson, but also apply what they
have learned to other subjects and lessons.
during my class, I ask my students to use their
thinking skills such as, compare, classify, and
analyze things. Doing this keeps my students
actively engaged and involved in their learning
process.

18. Meaningful use of Knowledge
The students had a science lesson where they
took a seed and planted it and watched it grow.
They had to make use of their prior knowledge
that had about plants in our previous science
lessons in order to make sure the used the
correct amount of water, and how much
sunlight the seed needed in order to grow. This
experiment was an example of the how the
students were able to use meaningful knowledge to
accomplish their goal, it also engaged them in the
decision making process.

19. Productive Habits of Mind
This last dimension is a very critical part of the
students learning process. It is very important
for my students to use their critical and creative
thinking skills which they will be required to use
all year in first grade while they are in my class.
This will also help them continue on in their
education.

21. Costa and Kallicks’
16 Habits of Mind
 Persisting
 Thinking and Communicating with clarity and precision
 Managing Impulsivity
 Gathering data through all senses
 Listening with understanding an empathy
 Creating, Imagining, innovating, thinking flexibly
 Responding with wonderment and awe
 Thinking about Thinking (metacognition)
 Taking responsible risks
 Striving for accuracy
 Finding Humour
 Questioning and posing problems
 Thinking Interdependently
 Applying past knowledge to new situations
 Remaining open to continuous learning

22. ◦ When we no longer know what to do we have
come to our real work and when we no longer
know which way to go, we have begun our real
journey. The mind that is not baffled is not
employed. The impeded stream is the one that
sings.”
Wendell Berry

23.  These 16 Habits of Mind are only an
indication of how we as human beings
express our intelligence. The habits that
impressed me the most and what I see
the most in my classroom and explained
within these next slides.

24.  Persisting—In the 7 years that I have been teaching First
Grade, I have had a lot of persistent students who would not
give up until they had every answer right and who would
even cry if they got it wrong. Other students were not so
persistent and instantly say that they do not understand even
before they looked at it. I always encourage my students to
try and use previous taught skills that they have learned in
order to complete the assignment.
 Listening to others with understanding and empathy --- Many
times when going over a lesson, I may ask a student a
question and though its taking that child awhile to answer
because he is taking time to process the questions, other
students immediately raise their hand to answer. I teach ‘wait
time’ in my class to allow every child to listen to the
question, process it and then respond.

25. Striving for Accuracy and Precision---Some
of my students when given an assignment,
rush through it and finishes within 2 or 3
minutes after they receive it in order to go to
a center or get the next assignment.
I stress to my students the importance of
taking their time when completing
assignments and also taking pride in their
work and to not turn in sloppy because they
are going to get it back and make it neat.

26. Thinking Interdependently---I encourage
cooperative learning groups within my classroom. This
allows the students the opportunity to collaborate and
share their ideas and it also helps the students with
underdeveloped social skills.
These Habits of Mind are not only confined to the
classroom but should be used in your child’s daily lives
In order to be effective students and citizens.

28. “TED” Conversations is an online webpage where
students can discuss different topics with other
kids around the world. I haven’t had the
opportunity to introduce this to my students yet,
but I am very excited about it. Please enjoy the
following video!

 I hope that you have enjoyed this
presentation and glimpse into my
classroom!!
