1. What are the two critical elements to keep in mind when using instructional scaffolding?  Modeling and Practice are the two critical elements to keep in mind when using instructional scaffolding. Modeling is when the teacher demonstrates or models each step in a task or strategy multiple times, so that through repetition and modeling the students understand both how to perform each step and why. Practice is when the students are allowed to either work individually or in groups with the teacher to practice a task or strategy. 2. Briefly describe the three approaches to instructional scaffolding presented in this Module.  Content scaffolding is when the teacher selects content that is not too difficult or unfamiliar for students learning …show more content…

I would use content scaffolding because it’s important to reinforce background knowledge and start from the beginning with a student, while making new connections with them through familiar or highly interesting content that motivates the student to dig deeper. I would also use material scaffolding in the form of a cue sheet with guided examples and possibly a mnemonic device that would help students perform and complete the task of long division. I would reinforce the use of a mnemonic device and guided example through constant modelling with verbalization and practice until the student has mastered long division. This could be considered task scaffolding with the use of performing the task of solving long division by modeling and practicing the mnemonic device with the student one step at a time until he or she can independently use the task by his or herself. The guided examples would also serve as task scaffolding that would be reinforced with verbalization, eventually be phased out over the course of the lesson. The use of constant visual aids in material scaffolding would also help the student, especially if the mnemonic device was a poster in the front of the …show more content…

Second, I would introduce a problem that the student might find interesting and excite their interest for the challenge of solving a long division problem. Third, I would model how to work through some long division problems with the use of material scaffolding in the form of the mnemonic device and guided examples mentioned in answer 4-B. Fourth, I would use the mnemonic device as a handout, and poster on a wall, to let practice my student practice long division problems with the mnemonic device as a reminder tool. The mnemonic device could be “Dad, Mom, Sister, and Brother,” which would stand for “Divide, Multiply, Subtract, and Bring Down.” I would also model and practice the guided examples with the student on a handout. Fifth, I would begin task scaffolding by walking through each step in solving long division using the mnemonic device provided above along with the guided examples. I would constantly refer to both the mnemonic device and guided examples as I verbalized the task. Sixth, I would also use modelling and practice to help my student understand the patterns in solving long division, and support his or her confidence in his or he ability to perform and complete the individual steps of long

Then I went to the main lesson which I did on the white board and I started with simple two step problems and got up to the four step problems with the parentheses so they could see me do it. After I was done, I had each student come up a couple of time to check their understanding of it, to me they seem to get it really well. I sent them home with homework to post assess them on the following Wednesday when I came back, I was surprised when they turned in the homework on how well they

No, the level of arousal is balance. Mr.Scherrer uses a varity of differnt stratgies to energize his students and keep arousal from being too low. Mr. Scherrer has his students read the task/ question alound and then has them restate the task in their own words. Mr. Scherrer is also checking for his students understandingby asking them to raise their thumbs in agreement or disagreement prenting to their understandiing of the problem. Therefore, by Mr. Scherrer using these stratgies he is keeping the arousal in his classroom from being to high.

This will also become useful when coming to write coursework plans as I will already have a lot of the information at hand and won’t be having to try and remember information from lectures, instead I will have it all written down in a way that I understand and is useful to me. This is also useful as anything that I have taken away from a lecture I can read into more in-depth at home or research anything that I didn’t understand and re-write in a way that I will understand for future reference. This also backs up my read/write learning style. I can use diagrams and pictures where applicable to demonstrate/understand information, not study or read for long periods of time, use study material that uses all my sense i.e. videos, diagrams, field visits, lab work, speaking to lecturers about coursework with my first draft and seeing all feedback as being positive. This will help me to learn by not just sitting and reading in lots of information, it is a much more practical way of learning which links back into my kinesthetic learning preference and backs up the learning style theory of a kinesthetic learner (VARK, 2015).

This lesson showed how I used tiered instruction when creating word problems for 2nd graders. I also adjusted this lesson and applied it to a 3rd grade lesson on word problems. The use of tired instruction used tired instruction and questioning. Students who needed more support received clearer problems and sentences frames, while other students received unclear problem and needed to create their own sentences.

Then I build on that knowledge by working with the class on document A (see instructional material 1.1) then let the class work on the rest of the documents in pairs. Through this method student are shown the material, and the work is modeled for them giving students a better understanding of how to read the documents (Bruner). Allowing students to work in pairs allows for peer learning allowing students to work together, and for students who are accelerated in the class to help those who are struggling with the material (Dewey). This also me to walk around the room, and help groups who are struggling allowing for easier monitoring of progress towards the learning target. Lesson 2 starts by comparing, and contrasting FDR’s handling of Japanese Americans, and how Trump wants to handle immigrants (see instructional material 2.1).

question she would ask her students was to recall the steps to dividing. Visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners were provided with YouTube videos displaying the steps of how to divide, counting songs, and worksheets to use during the lesson. In order to have the students fully engaged in the learning the teacher allowed each student to participate in the lesson and allowed them to help each other out when struggling with a question. She also engaged each child to participate on the smart board. Periodically, she did have to remind her students about the rules and the consequences that arise from not following them.

Friend and Bursack (2006) note that students should already have some amount of background knowledge before engaging in the scaffolding process to ensure a smooth transition into a new concept. Thus, it is crucial to consider this during lesson planning stages. The two summative assessments are designed to assess students understanding of the multiplication concepts as described in the lesson plans. There are two summative assessments that support the three integrated lesson plans.

• Which part of the lesson was most effective in helping the student understand the learning objective? The part of the lesson that was most effective in helping the student understand the learning objective was the second part of the scaffolding technique that I used. When the students followed along with a given example of subtraction using their white boards. Allowing them to follow along and find the difference using a number line with me, helped them by integrating a hands on learning approach.

Feedback on Nueva Math 1 The feedback I 've gotten from some students is that the math teachers give out homework problems that they haven 't discussed with the students so the students spend hours at night trying to figure out how to do the homework. The next day, the Math 1 teachers have the students who have solved the problems tell how they did so. Our understanding of the Nueva method of teaching is not to give out answers but to ask questions that assist students in figuring out ways to approach and solve problems. Students get frustrated when they are given homework for which they receive no introduction; many students are not sure how to get started.

The recognition network of the brain is in use when teaching a student “what” to learn. “The recognition network is how we gather facts and categorize what we see, hear, and read. Identifying letters, words, or an author's style are recognition tasks” (http://www.udlcenter.org/aboutudl/whatisudl). You have to present multiple teaching strategies. The more ways you present a lesson, the more students you will reach since everyone learns differently.

According to the Glossary of Education Reform, Instructional Scaffolding used to move students progressively toward stronger understanding and, ultimately, greater independence in the learning process. The term itself offers the relevant descriptive metaphor: teachers provide successive levels of temporary support that help students reach higher levels of comprehension and skill acquisition that they would not be able to achieve without assistance. Like physical scaffolding, the supportive strategies are incrementally removed when they are no longer needed, and the teacher gradually shifts more responsibility over the learning process to the student. Scaffolding is widely considered to be an essential element of effective teaching, and all
