Swafford, M., Bailey, S., & Beasley, K. (2014). Positive learning environments enhance student achievement. Techniques: Connecting Education and Careers, 89(5), 32-35.

In Swafford, Bailey, and Beasley’s 2014 article “Positive Learning Environments Enhance Student Achievement” from Techniques: Connecting Education and Careers, the authors describe the six functions a positive learning environment must have and how these functions benefit students. These six functions are written in response to family and consumer science (FACS) classrooms, but the functions can be applied to any classroom. The authors also discuss how these six functions support the Tennessee teacher evaluation model. …show more content…

The authors provide research-based evidence and practices to support each of these areas. Additionally, the authors point out that a teacher must be reflective and make data-based decisions when applying new practices to a classroom, as each classroom and each community is unique with its own set of needs. The first of the three areas of effective teaching MacSuga-Gage, Simonsen, and Briere (2012) discuss is “delivering explicit and engaging academic instruction” (pg. 1). This means that teachers should seek instructional activities which support effective instruction and can be supported empirically by research. The authors highlight many of the characteristics of effective teachers who deliver “explicit and engaging academic instructions” (MacSuga-Gage, Simonsen, & Briere, 2012, pg. 1) including prioritizing objective, sequencing activities to maximize the use of time, focus on increasing student engagement, reducing the student-to-teacher ratio, and managing instruction using positive strategies. One suggestion the authors provide to deliver “explicit and engaging academic instruction” (MacSuga-Gage, Simonsen, & Briere, 2012, pg. 1) is to use evidence-based scripted curriculums, which the authors note can help improve student success and reduce the need of teachers to create their own

Literature Review: Multisensory Instruction In Education

737 Words | 3 Pages

Literature Review “Children know how to learn in more ways than we know how to teach them.” —Ronald Edmonds (1991) Each child learns in a different way, therefore if teachers are mainly focused on instructing the majority auditory/visual learners; the students who have different learning styles needs aren’t being met, which results in lack of basic skills moving forward. The idea of one instructional strategy fitting all is creating a void in classrooms; which in turn is failing to help those students struggling the most. Campbell, Helf, and Cooke, (2008) suggests a reason for some students’ ongoing lack of achievements that, “too often, students are instructed indirectly, watching and listening to the teacher or other students with little or no opportunity to actually read” (p. 268).
