Instructional Methods

There are a lot of ways and methods to demonstrate Progressivism in the classroom, here listed are some examples of what i would have in my classroom while I put progressivism into practice.

•  Doing at least one group work project as well as at least one single project based-learning assignment. 
• Doing active learning as a class or doing games like Jeopardy or other games to help prepare for a test or quiz. 
• Doing outdoor activities for a class. Things I would do for a class outside would be drawing certain things outside that we may be learning about in a unit, or seeing where certain animals or creatures live outside. For example if we are doing a unit on ponds and creatures that live in swamp/pond areas I would take them outside to a near pond or nature trail and show them the actual thing. 
• Letting students choose a topic of a certain unit we may be learning to do a project or presentation on, there for it lets them choose something that might sound interesting to them to learn about more. 
• Reward the students for the goals they achieve with the rules for positive concequences that together we assign as a class. Such as following all classroom rules and treating others with respect and kindness, and helping students with anything they are having trouble with.
