Instructional Strategy Direct Teaching

698 Words3 Pages

One instructional strategy I plan on using in my classroom is Cooperative Learning, which falls under the Instructional Strategy: Facilitative Teaching. The strategy of "cooperative learning involves two or more students working together to complete specific tasks" (Charles & Senter, 2008, p. 111). Cooperative learning aligns perfectly to my classroom step design. My classroom design is explicitly set up for cooperative learning based on the large group tables, and the circle set up of the classroom. The goal of the circle set up of the classroom is to encourage students to have large classroom discussions.
Cooperative learning aligns to my philosophy for classroom management. Through cooperative learning students gain social skills, team work …show more content…

The strategy of the Say, See, Do cycle has three steps: explanation, modeling, and structured practice (Charles & Senter, 2008, p. 107). Direct teaching aligns to my classroom design based on my whole group area. My rug that faces the projector is where I plan on facilitating whole group 'I see, you see, we do. At this location, I can directly see
I see, you see, we do aligns with my philosophy for classroom management. With direct teaching, a teacher can better control her class, easily make formative assessments based on observations, and time manage effectively. From my experience in as a teacher, there is never enough time in the day to complete all the learning that needs to take place. With direct teaching, a teacher is getting the most 'bang for her buck' with instructional time and learning time. I believe the combination of cooperative learning and direct teaching will give my students a good balance of learning and …show more content…

In order to change and improve I will need to work on my own practice, prioritising time and delegating other tasks to the staff in order to achieve these changes. As I delegate different tasks to the room leaders I will begin to reduce my own work load and in turn give me more time to implement positive changes to my practice. Additionally by allocating team leader’s different tasks to help increase their knowledge and understanding as well as developing their personal development. As I worked on formative task two (appendix 19 highlighted in yellow) this provided the opportunity to reflect and evaluate my current practice which I found helpful and this allowed me to monitor my practice and identify areas of improvement. Through reviewing my practice I identified that I should lower the amount of children in an activity, so that the learning experiences could be enhanced (appendix 19 in pink).

This allows for me to specifically lead and communicate to each individual depending on their situation they were in. I did not explain all the instructions in the beginning or else it would be very overwhelming to them. I decided that as the game progressed, I would introduce them to more rules and strategies of the game as these would be more relevant at the appropriate time. With my ability to adapt to the needs of my group on the different situations we arrived at, I think this allowed for my group members to understand the game better: “Most effective leaders recognize and adapt to followers needs” (Northouse 114). This I believe really helped out our group in understanding the game and in creating a good game flow towards the game.

Childhood fears and adult traumas are stored differently in the brain than happy memories. They are buried like porous capsules deep in the primitive regions, below awareness and beyond easy reach of conscious thinking and talking. They are buried so deep that they are separated from the normal flow of life, and so time cannot work its natural healing powers. There is a vast psychological literature on the diverse ways people are held back by these hidden capsules. Often, they don’t feel fully grounded or empowered.

Shakespearean Sonnets William Shakespeare is one of the world’s most famous playwrights. Historians aren’t sure exactly when he was born, but most agree that it was probably April 23, 1564 (Andrews v). He not only was successful writing plays, but also with writing poetry. From 1592 to 1595, the theater Shakespeare presented his plays in had closed, which left him with no means of income (Rowse 198). To compensate, Shakespeare wrote sonnets instead.

Reflective Observation (Watching) Despite some arguments about the framework at the beginning of the project, my team is very cooperative, and we have the same perspective, since we already had working experience in previous assignments. Our solid team was confirmed when we had a ‘cone dance exercise’ that we can complete smoothly and very fast. As the leader, I facilitated the whole work process to enhance group effectiveness, solve problems and achieve the shared goals.

My Classroom Environment Ideally, my classroom would be a strong community of interactive learners. I would like to use cooperative learning to engage students at various academic levels. This would also give me the opportunity to employ direct teaching for those students that need it while others work in groups. Groups also allows me to use peer tutoring and help build an inclusive classroom by integrating groups (Hallahan et al., 2012).

1.5 Kohn’s Student Directed Learning Theory Kohn’s student-directed learning theory is an approach to the classroom management which may be particularly effective in the modern classroom environment. Student-directed learning will keep students motivated and teaches them to cooperate with each other sharing responsibilities and functions within their community. Kohn believes that the ideal classroom emphasizes on curiosity and cooperation above all, and that the student’s curiosity should determine what is taught. "Skillful educators tap students ' natural curiosity and desire to become competent.

Description Reflection is a necessary component in learning to regulate opinion, feelings, and actions. Reflection links experience and knowledge by providing an opportunity to explore areas of concern in a critical way and to make adjustments based on these reflections (Knowles Z., Tyler G., 2006). I will be using the Gibbs G (1988) Learning by Doing: A guide to teaching and learning methods (Davies S., 2012).

My experience with co-teaching has been beneficial for my class especially for the ELLs and the monolingual students. When my mentor is teaching, my lowest students sit in a different table with me. Differentiation has helped them because they get additional help, clarification of any misconceptions, restating of key vocabulary or key points and also they get to use manipulatives that might help them understand a concept better. This differentiation has helped as they are testing higher in math and two ELL students are now reading at grade level. Co-teaching allows both teachers to work together and it allows for many instructional strategies.

[47] argue that students report increased team skills as a result of cooperative learning. This is as Panitz [48] cites a number of benefits of cooperative learning for developing the interpersonal skills required for effective teamwork. As observed, there is broad empirical support for the central premise of cooperative learning, that cooperation is more effective than competition for promoting a range of positive learning outcomes. These results include enhanced academic achievement and a number of attitudinal outcomes. In addition, cooperative learning provides a natural environment in which to enhance interpersonal skills and there are rational arguments and evidence to show the effectiveness of cooperation in this

I believe in the student centered approach to teaching. This model has proven to be more effective than the teacher center model. The teacher acts as the facilitator. The student and teacher need to learn what works together. The curriculum should be based on the specific students in the class and the activity that is going on at the time.

It is one of the most effective forms of learning. Working in isolation is very restrictive and gives a slow progress. Critical thinking is also encouraged when learners work in groups. Through collaborative activities such as writing, debates, group projects and more they learn to work together and to respect each other contribution. The traditional relationship between student and teacher is changed with collaborative learning.
