What I found...
The kids at this table were busy having their
Valentine's party. I was able to take pictures
because the teacher already had permission.

10- It has taken almost all year to get this
whole project together. This presentation was
the hardest part of the whole Senior Project.
The Hands-on Project- I liked being able to see
what a teacher deals with and dealing with kids.
It would have been better if I did the Hands- on
in the morning and earlier in the year. When I
got there almost everyone was tired. The
classes were wrapping up for the day or year.
Start on it early- If you have to change
something later its okay. Also, pick something
you really are interested in. I did both and I
am glad of it.
I think we need several meetings between students
and the steering committee. We need s way for
Senior Project to be consecutive. Some were at
one point while others were at a different point.
Its hard to get help because of this. Its hard
to know what we should be doing and how to do
it. Individual teachers and Advisors can help
some, but I think better results would come if
everybody was on the same page.

• Learning styles

  - Direct
  - Constructivism

For even more research, consult Ryan's research
paper in the portfolio.
6. More Research...
Any questions?
In my research I found that according to a
learning pyramid made by National Training
Laboratories in Bethel, Maine, retention rates
were low to significantly low in the traditional
teaching category.
Traditional Teaching
Considered Both
Constructivism
Lectures, Reading, Audiovisuals, and
Demonstrations are all Traditional Teaching
Discussion is considered both. Some people argue
it's Traditional, and to some its Constructive
teaching.
The last two are considered Constructive.
