I am a big fan of the wheel. It does a great job of providing examples and explaing the three principals in a format that is not too overwhelming. I will be using this as a reference tool.
I thought this would be especially interesting for the math and science people. Student feedback is essential in understanding how a teacher's mode of instruction enhances or hinders their learning.
I enjoyed reading this article, particularly the information in table 1, where the students were asked to respond to the class activities by using the Likert Scale.
Here is Blooms Taxonomy of Learning Objectives key. I think this is so important to have as a visual, on hand guide to help you gear your lessons for higher order thinking. I thought i'd share it so you may use it as well!
I really liked the answer to Question 8 - How can I provide choice in activities and assignments? It's a quick, simple list of choices students can pick from depending on how they learn best. This really helps target the multiple means of presentation principle of UDL
Exactly what it says on the tin! A quick and simple explanation of what self-regulated learning is and some ways to begin addressing it in your classroom!
This is an interesting site for self-regulated learning. Along with giving a detailed description of self-regulated learning, strategies are given to be used by the instructors and the students to accomplish this goal. I think it is necessary for students to practice self-regulated learning. They will be active in their learning process, will be able to transfer these skills across domains, and it will put them on the path to be a life-long learner.
"Self-regulated learning strategies are research-based instructional techniques to help learners monitor and manage their own learning skills and habits. When paired with strategy instruction and metacogntive processes, instructors have a powerful learning toolkit to share with learners."... I really like the monitor and manage ideas of this article, M&M's???
I was certainly struck by the idea of addressing with students, how they learn and how they can create good self-regulated work habits. It something I don't ever remember being taught but rather learned through trial and error with what worked for me and what didnt. This resource had some nice simple ideas about how to go about teaching this in your classroom
This was a really interesting article which develed further into the questions from the reading in Chapter 6 regarding the argument between differentiating the lesson to reach the same learning target for all or differentiating the learning target instead.
