Q

In regards to learning diversity, why should you know a student’s background?

A

Because a struggling student may not have had enriching experiences. Learning experiences influence and change their brain. Supplementing their experiential foundation can have and impact on their learning

Q

Students need scaffolding and support to connect information and make sense of it. What are some ways? Why is this important?

A

Graphic organizers, concept maps, and modeling

This leaves more brain energy for learning new concept or skill

Study These Flashcards
A

students’ lives, interests, and preferences

25
Name the teaching strategies for diverse learners.
``` Universal Design Differentiation Culturally Responsive Teaching RTI Supporting English Language Learners Co-Teaching Grouping Students Assistive Technology ```
26
Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
Teaching content and skills in a variety of ways with different means of engaging due to varied interests and abilities and using varied ways of demonstrating what the students have learned
27
Differentiation
similar to UDL; provides multiple options of instruction to suit the needs and abilities of the individual student
28
Culturally Responsive Teaching
using strategies that are culturally relevant to the student; consider the student's culture when planning lessons
29
Response to Intervention (RTI)
provides effective instruction and monitors progress for all students; mostly used for students with exceptionalities.
30
3 Tiers of RTI
Tier I - general education settings (regular classroom) Tier II - collaborative general & special education Tier III - special education services
31
Supporting English Language Learners
Provide sheltered or supported instruction; Provide instruction in English language w/focus on BICS (Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills & CALP (Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency); Use student's background knowledge for base of lessons; Provide explicit and enhanced vocabulary instruction; Identify the language demands in lessons and units
32
Co-Teaching
Collaboration of general ed teacher and special ed teacher in the same classroom; Co- teaching models: one teaches/one observes; parallel; station; teaming; alternative
33
Grouping Students
Mixed ability groups: cooperative learning, project grouping, buddy grouping, interest grouping, subject grouping, research grouping, learning station grouping Focused groups: subject grouping, research grouping, skills grouping
34
Assistive Technology
"Any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain or improve the functional capabilities of a child with a disability." IDEIA
35
How can you self assess your own perceptions about your students (diversity)?
Are you a member of this diversity group? Do you have personal experiences with this group? Have you studied this group in one or more courses?
36
What is an excellent way we read about to invite parents to share knowledge about their children with the teacher? Why?
Parent Homework Bridges the Teacher-Student Gap; It helps you to know and understand that student in a way you would not before; gives you background knowledge and perspective from someone who knows and loves that student
37
What are Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences?
``` Linguistic Logical-mathematical Musical Bodily-kinesthetic Interpersonal Intrapersonal Spatial Naturalist Existential ```
38
Why can Gardner's Multiple Intelligences be helpful in differentiating instruction and/or providing a variety of instructional methods?
Neuroscience research shows that our brains learn best when provided with multiple pathways to learning. Addressing multiple intelligences addresses learning diversity.
39
What are the steps of Language Acquisition?
Silent period- they are listening and receiving language Early production stage- one or two word sentences Speech emergence- attempting phrases, short sentences Intermediate fluency- grammatical errors are fewer
40
Sheltered Content Instruction requires two main things:
1. the teacher must modify while having the same expectations of achievement of content standards -this involves a focus on Academic vocabulary involved and methods of comprehensible input 2. Verbal interaction in a comfortable, stress-free setting where they can focus on the Academic language they need to learn. (These modifications benefit ALL learners.)
41
Specific modifications you can make for ELL | methods of comprehensible input
modeling, realia, speak slowly, use gestures, lots of visuals, hands-on materials, word walls, graphic organizers, word bank, mnemonic devices
42
Overall considerations for effective planning
Students- know them! Content & Process- Time- Resources- Teacher- how knowledgeable are you about subject Technical/Technology- School considerations- standards, graduation requirements, legalities
43
Planning Resources
1. Curriculum guides- what should be taught in each grade and content area 2. Standards & Goals- Common Core, Arkansas Frameworks 3. Textbooks- supplementary readings, practice aids, evaluations 4. Other resources teachers use for planning- colleagues, the internet, libraries, museums, historical sites, gov't agencies
44
Different types of units | know these can overlap each other
Interdisciplinary- Integrated- Thematic-
45
Stages in the Instructional Cycle
Stage 1- Preplanning Stage 2- Unit and lesson planning Stage 3- Post lesson activities
46
Six research-based findings about instructional planning of teachers...
1. Researchers have neither identified nor validated any widely accepted or consistently practical planning model 2. Teachers use a variety of lesson plan formats 3. Planning serves as a guide to action 4. Teachers tend to carry much of their planning in their minds rather than on paper 5. Teachers rarely plan in the linear model often encouraged in textbooks 6. The best teachers apply planning flexibly
47
If planning is the heart of teaching, what can novice teachers do to begin their "treasury of teaching materials?"
Save and collect anything related to your instruction (especially the successful ones) Keep last years plans
48
How does "Problem-Based Learning" instructional model align with the "Core Skills of Thinking?"
-Perception of a problem or issue -Ability to gather relevant information -Competence in organizing data -Analysis of data patterns, inferences, sources of errors -Communication of the results All these skills are used (in the same order) in problem-based learning. PBL follows this process.
49
Basic tenets of "inquiry teaching"
- Inquiry methods require learner to develop processes associated with inquiry - Teachers & principals must support the concept of inquiry and learn to adapt their own styles to the concept - Students have a genuine interest in discovering something new & providing or solving unanswered questions/problems - The Solutions are not found in textbooks- use reference materials like scientists do - The objective of inquiry teaching is the process (not the product)
50
More basic tenets of "inquiry teaching"
- All conclusions must be considered tentative not final - Inquiry learning cannot be gauged by the clock - Learners are responsible for planning, conducting, & evaluating their own efforts - Students have to be taught the processes in a systematic manner - Inquiry learning complicates & expands the teacher's work - Administrative support is needed since critical thinking requires students to be just that - critical
51
Which theory of learning supports inquiry teaching?
Constructivism
52
What's most challenging for teachers about preparing and inquiry learning experience, unit or lesson?

53
How can collaboration benefit teachers who work together to plan in both long-term and short-terms ways?
fill in later
54
In what ways is literacy integrated into unit planning according to the ELA Common Core requirements/standards?
fill in later
55
Digital resources for teachers
lesson plans; lesson plans with embedded links; online texts; online texts with audio recording and second language readings; videos; podcasts
56
Internet sites for teachers
Readwritethink; Edutopia; Teaching Channel; PARCC; Common Core State Standards Initiative; National Writing Project; Teacher Vision
57
What are the sources for "standards" teachers need to use as a guide for instruction?
Common Core for Language & Math Arkansas Frameworks for Social Studies Next Generation Science Standards for Science
