Differentiating Instruction: Meeting Students Where They Are, Teaching Today, Glencoe O... - 0 views

  • Break assignments into smaller, more manageable parts that include structured directions for each part.

      I see this as critical and that is why I have 1 week modules for my course where the students have more opportunity to - iterative opportunities - to practice and receive feedback on our core concept of analysis of works of art. Smaller chunks and tighter feedback loops have made it possible to create many ways for students to succeed, rather than have them struggle for longer periods of time on the same thing over and over again.
  • Use a variety of assessment strategies, including performance-based and open-ended assessment. Balance teacher-assigned and student-selected projects. Offer students a choice of projects that reflect a variety of learning styles and interests. Make assessment an ongoing, interactive process.
  • Establish stations for inquiry-based, independent learning activities.

  • Provide access to a variety of materials which target different learning preferences and reading abilities.
  • Differentiated instruction is based upon the belief that students learn best when they make connections between the curriculum and their diverse interests and experiences, and that the greatest learning occurs when students are pushed slightly beyond the point where they can work without assistance. This point differs for students who are working below grade level and for those who are gifted in a given area.

Differentiating Instruction: Meeting Students Where They Are, Teaching Today, Glencoe O... - 1 views

  • Differentiated instruction is an instructional theory that allows teachers to face this challenge by taking diverse student factors into account when planning and delivering instruction. Based on this theory, teachers can structure learning environments that address the variety of learning styles, interests, and abilities found within a classroom.

      By definition, differentiation is wary of approaches to teaching and learning that standardize.  Standard-issue students are rare, and educational approaches that ignore academic diversity in  favor of standardization are likely to be counterproductive in reaching the full range of learners. 
    • Heather Kurto
       
      To examine the dichotomy between standards-based teaching and differentiation, we must ask  questions about how standards influence the quality of teaching and learning. What is the impact  of standards-based teaching on the quality of education in general?

      Differentiation suggests that you can challenge all learners by providing  materials and tasks on the standard at varied levels of difficulty, with varying degrees of  scaffolding, through multiple instructional groups, and with time variations. Further,  differentiation suggests that teachers can craft lessons in ways that tap into multiple student  interests to promote heightened learner interest in the standard.

EBSCOhost: Improving instruction as a team - 0 views

  •  
    The writer discusses an innovative teacher certification program offered through Voyager Expanded Learning and the University of North Texas that models a new way of teaching and learning with technology at the core. With online curriculum, differentiated instruction, project-based learning, and team learning at its heart, the program aims to improve the quality of instruction by providing a model of learning that was not available when the majority of current classroom teachers received training.

Metacognition: An Overview - 1 views

  • Metacognitive experiences involve the use of metacognitive strategies or metacognitive regulation (Brown, 1987). Metacognitive strategies are sequential processes that one uses to control cognitive activities, and to ensure that a cognitive goal (e.g., understanding a text) has been met. These processes help to regulate and oversee learning, and consist of planning and monitoring cognitive activities, as well as checking the outcomes of those activities.
  • Self-questioning is a common metacognitive comprehension monitoring strategy. If she finds that she cannot answer her own questions, or that she does not understand the material discussed, she must then determine what needs to be done to ensure that she meets the cognitive goal of understanding the text.
  • Knowledge is considered to be metacognitive if it is actively used in a strategic manner to ensure that a goal is met. For example, a student may use knowledge in planning how to approach a math exam: "I know that I (person variable) have difficulty with word problems (task variable), so I will answer the computational problems first and save the word problems for last (strategy variable)." Simply possessing knowledge about one's cognitive strengths or weaknesses and the nature of the task without actively utilizing this information to oversee learning is not metacognitive.

  • Cognitive Strategy Instruction (CSI) is an instructional approach which emphasizes the development of thinking skills and processes as a means to enhance learning. The objective of CSI is to enable all students to become more strategic, self-reliant, flexible, and productive in their learning endeavors (Scheid, 1993). CSI is based on the assumption that there are identifiable cognitive strategies, previously believed to be utilized by only the best and the brightest students, which can be taught to most students (Halpern, 1996). Use of these strategies have been associated with successful learning (Borkowski, Carr, & Pressley, 1987; Garner, 1990).
  • Metacognition enables students to benefit from instruction (Carr, Kurtz, Schneider, Turner & Borkowski, 1989; Van Zile-Tamsen, 1996) and influences the use and maintenance of cognitive strategies.
  • Metacognition and Cognitive Strategy Instruction
  • The study of metacognition has provided educational psychologists with insight about the cognitive processes involved in learning and what differentiates successful students from their less successful peers. It also holds several implications for instructional interventions, such as teaching students how to be more aware of their learning processes and products as well as how to regulate those processes for more effective learning.
  • Metacognition refers to higher order thinking which involves active control over the cognitive processes engaged in learning. Activities such as planning how to approach a given learning task, monitoring comprehension, and evaluating progress toward the completion of a task are metacognitive in nature. Because metacognition plays a critical role in successful learning, it is important to study metacognitive activity and development to determine how students can be taught to better apply their cognitive resources through metacognitive control.

Education World ® Administrators Center: Making Retention A Last Resort - 0 views

  • Retaining students while their peers are promoted is bad for a child's self-esteem and may not help them academically, according to the argument. But promoting children without the skills for the next grade can be just as demoralizing.
  • "Multi-age learning is the gift of time," Jetel told Education World. "Students work to complete a curriculum cycle. The activities are open-ended and students can work on at their own pace."
  • on Student Grade Retention and Social Promotion, the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) notes that the use of grade retention has increased over the past 25 years, despite little indication of its effectiveness.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • between 30 percent and 50 percent of students in the U.S. are retained at least once before ninth grade.
  • The results showed that grade retention had a negative impact on all areas of achievement, including reading, mathematics, and language, as well as socio-emotional adjustment, such as peer relationships, self esteem, problem behaviors, and attendance
  • implementing multiple support programs to help students stay on track to pass the tests the first time
  • students who need extra help will receive differentiated instruction from teachers trained to meet their needs. Students also will receive instruction before and after school, on weekends, and during a Summer Success Academy, designed for second and third graders. The academy's focus will be on reading, writing, and math, and classes with no more than 15 students, according to Klein.
  • smaller classes and earlier support services
  • 'What didn't work? What wasn't done earlier? What do we do to identify the difficulties a kid is having?' If you can't answer the question why the student didn't learn, you are in danger of repeating mistakes."

Motivating Your Students: Teaching Advice & Tips (Grades K-12) - TeacherVision.com - 0 views

  • Offer differentiated instruction. Be aware that you'll have students of differing abilities in your classroom. Don't make the mistake of crafting a single lesson for everybody—without taking into consideration the different ability levels.
  • Students should have multiple opportunities to set their own academic goals.
