From Framework to Homework

Sights Sounds Smells Interactions

All tell you something about the way the teacher works.

It’s not unlike walking into a business or a restaurant.

How things look How relaxed, warm, ready you are

How well you have planned What happens first The first things you say and do

Dead Poets Society The tone of the “pep talk” Pygmalion

Seating Arrangement (Theirs and Yours) What Decorates the Walls Lighting Plants, animals, minerals, artifacts,

equipment, other stuff Learning Stations Compensations for Poor Space

Wallpaper murals

The reflective teacher is always intentional.

He/She asks how will this physical environment effect my students? Does this seating arrangement stress order,

allow for activities, create community? Reflective teachers know their

management style and use it (or modify it) to their students’ advantage

Study by Emmer, Evertson, and Anderson 27 Third Grade Classrooms 8 Elementary Schools

All teachers had rules and procedures The more effective group spent most of

the first day and a significant amount of time in the first three weeks training their students in these procedures.

An extended scope and sequence Thorough and well-conceived They inform the curriculum plan but are

not the plan itself.

Each school or school system should have a written curriculum which is based on the frameworks

When you begin teaching you should be shown a curriculum guide.

From the curriculum guide you will develop units and lessons.

A graphic representation of the school-year which describes what you will do and when

This is very general and shows general topics.

This is a fairly detailed chart or outline describing the content, activities, materials and resources in an instructional unit

What is an instructional unit?

A detailed plan for a single lesson, usually 20-50 minutes long depending on the level of the students.

Lesson vs. Activity

1. Specific Objective(s) based on previous Diagnosis and learner traits.

2. Anticipatory Set which helps students Perceive the Lesson Purpose

3. Learning Activities /Opportunities

4. Modeling5. Check for

Understanding (usually through) Guided Practice

6. Independent Practice (also known as homework)

“After practice-writing the spelling words five times each, the student will write the words when dictated by the teacher, spelling 18 of the 20 words correctly.”

Conditions, Behavior, Criteria Behavioral Objective

Problem-solving Objective “ When given a battery, a light bulb, and

a piece of copper wire, the student will figure out how to make the bulb light.”

Knowledge-level behavioral objective: When given a meter stick, students will point to the length of a meter, a decimeter, and a centimeter with no errors.

Comprehension-level behavioral objective: When asked to state a purpose or use for each of the following units of measure, the student will write a short response for meter, centimeter liter, milliliter, gram, and kilogram, with no more than one error.

Application-level problem-solving objective: Using a unit of measure of their choice, students will measure the length and width of the classroom and compute the area.

Analysis-level problem-solving objective: Students will create a chart showing five logical uses or purposes for each measuring unit in the metric family.

Synthesis-level expressive outcome: A group of four students will hide a “treasure” on the playground and create a set of instructions using metric measures that will enable another group to locate the treasure.

Evaluation-level expressive outcome: Students will debate their preference for

metric or non-metric measurement as a standard form of measurement.

Sections should be timed and paced. Total time depends on activity times. Things that can effect timing Some activities are more easily paced

than others. Overlapping can help with timing issues.

Systematic approach Cards or other cues for you.

Avoiding the “T” Minimizing the gregarious, maximizing

the shy. Involving reluctant students without

“shaming” them. You might think they deserve it. Whom and when do you “confront”
