           I chose the Preparing Tomorrow's Leaders blog. This teacher is using a Expeditionary Learning in her classroom for getting the information across to her students. Even though she was known as the teacher the kids liked, and enjoyed her class. She was actually concerned with the students just having fun and not getting the important information that the students needed.
        The teacher changed her teaching strategy to doing what we just talked about in class on Tuesday and that is Authentic Learning. Problem-Based Learning is exactly how I want to teach my students when I become a teacher, because it's more of a hands-on approach. By using the hands-on and authentic learning approaches the teacher's students were required to use their knowledge prior to the class and not just the textbook information. This teaching gives the child more than just right or wrong answers. The children learns why and how something might be the way it is, and what others think about it as well.
        This is culturally responsive teaching because the students are learning the information in a much more useful way. The students are able to actually take what they learn from the classroom and use it in their everyday life. As an educator that is what every teacher's goal should be, helping the students in life after the classroom.
