Biography Presentation

Mrs. Midori Tolbert

Many ask questions about my name- It means Green in Japanese

I have lived in Tacoma my whole life. I enjoy children, art, family, and nature. I have traveled to many places in the world and plan to incorporate those experiences into my classroom and curriculum.

I want my students to get something out of what they learn. It may not be exactly what I expect, but if they learn anything than I have done my job right.

I will have interdicsiplinary lessons. For those who don’t know what that means- intertwining different subjects into one lesson- writing, reading, math, science, social studies, art, history, etc.

I plan to use the standard assessments and grading, along with rubrics. On top of those I want to use self evaluations and reflections as part of the students assessments.

I want my students to be involved in the assessment guidelines and curriculum ideas, so they are interested in what their learning and understand how they will be assessed on that learning.

I expect the students to have respect for themselves and others in my classroom.  Most importantly I want them to enjoy learning.

My multiple intelligences are mainly Visual and Interpersonal.

I plan to incorporate as much of each learning style into my lessons, so the students can get as much out of it as possible. I want the students input on the assignments and the tools of assessment. Such as an oral presentation, written report, art project, performance, and group or individual work.

I feel that attendance is important. Although I know that emergency situations can occur. I want to work with those students to make sure they can get as much out of the class as the other students, even if they miss some classes.

I feel it is more important that the student learns the material, rather than turns it in on time, with half the effort. I will give my students one week after the assignment is due to turn in a more successful assignment.

If you have any questions or comments please call me at (253) 831-3072 or e-mail at midori.tolbert@stmartin.edu

I look forward to working with your child and with you to make it a great year!

Hello world!

I personally haven’t use power point presentations before. Although, I have been subject to them. I understand the importance of the information and that it can be lost in too much “special effects”. I also know that most people will dose off from pages and pages of text. I feel that somewhere in between the two works the best.

Power point presentations are used specifically to enhance the learning of visual and auditory learners and bring some fun to boring lectures. With an even mixture of both teaching styles the student can take away a great deal of knowledge. I agree that too much writing and multiple bullets are not useful for the learning process. I think the use of images, graphs and charts, along with an interesting lecture can create a successful presentation for all learners.

I plan on working with Special Ed students, and hope to use these techniques to keep their attention and further their education. Most of my students will probably be kinesthetic learners as well, so I will need to incorporate some hands on activities along with the power point. I am excited to master the craft of power point presentations!
