What is an instructional strategy?
a method for delivering instruction that is intended to help student achieve the learning objectives
Direct Instruction
Teacher-centered instruction which includes lecture, presentation, and recitation.
Inductive instructional approaches
Often begin with exploratory activities and then lead to students discovering a concept or generalization.
social instructional approaches
Students working together in various ways to gather, process, and learn information or skills.
Independent Instruction
students pursue content directly with less teacher direction
Differentiated Instruction
Process: What is done|Content: delivery of information|Product: demonstration of learning
Examples of differentiated instruction
varying reading comprehension questions, adaptive assessment depending on student performance
Teacher responsibility is…
heavier at the I DO stage - I DO refers to the teacher, learners have goals, teacher is modeling
Guided instruction is…
WE DO IT stage - a little more student responsibility, a little less teacher responsibility, check for understanding, prompt them on what to do next
Collaborative work is…
WE DO IT TOGETHER stage - students are able to do it together, working in groups; teacher is monitoring and clarifying work, provide some support
Independent work is..
YOU DO IT ALONE stage - you are the evaluator, evaluate what the student will complete on their own
4 direct instruction key components
- Clear determination and articulation of goals|2. Teacher-directed instruction|3. Careful monitoring of students outcomes|4. Consistent use of effective classroom organization and management methods
Explicit Instruction
Explain - calls for teacher to gain student, present new material, reinforce correct responses, provide feedback… teacher-led instruction
Implicit instruction
Implied, indirect teaching, no specific guidance
Stages of teacher-centered instruction
- Daily review|2. Present new material|3. Guided practice|4. Provide feedback|5. Independent practice|6. Periodic reviews
Types of Teacher-Centered (Direct) instructional approaches
- Presentations|2. Demonstrations|3. Direct Questioning|4. Recitations|5. Drill and Practice|6. Seat Work|7. Homework
Indirect instruction
Student centered, constructivist in nature, students are active within the strategies, strategies take planning but are more loosely structured, collaborative and cooperative approaches, more implicit instruction
Types of Student-centered strategies
Classifying: grouping ideas or concepts into categories (compare/contrast)|Metaphors: figure of speech/comparisons or connections between two unlike things (“He was a rock through all of this.”)|*Analogy: comparison between two similar things (“Galaxy is to a star as a beach is to a sandbox”)
Teacher centered engagement methods
Demonstration: display a skill or concept|Lecture: teaching verbalizing for majority of class time|Modeling: model out loud|Socratic: teacher uses questions to draw out student thinking
Activation of prior knowledge
Allows learners in on what is about to take place in the classroom, allows learners and opportunity to find a connection to information that they already know.
Metacognition
thinking about thinking
Social approaches
discussions; cooperative learning; panels and debates; and role playing, simulations, and games.
cooperative learning
students work together in mixed ability groups. informal groups are short while formal groups are designed carefully
Based groups
long-term grouping
