• 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.
• What part of the lesson would you improve (and why)? Reflect using learner-centered competencies. Describe unanticipated events and how you responded to them.
During the beginning of my lesson I gave a real-world example when creating a subtraction …show more content…

I told the students that I bought 52 bouncy balls and Walmart and when I got in the parking lot 16 of the balls fell from the bag and bounced away. The students became fixated on the fact that I lost the balls, and why I bought so many in the first place, instead of the subtraction lesson that I was trying to begin. It took a few minutes to get everyone back to the task at hand. I simply allowed them to voice their concerns and opinions on the situation that I gave them before redirecting them to the subtraction problem that we created using the scenario. I did not anticipate such a lively debate and discussion on the real-world problem that I had used. Although I was taken aback by this, I just let the conversation run its course before continuing. However, this was my focus strategy, so in the end the students were more engaged in the lesson, based on their concern for my dilemma and wanted to help me figure out how many balls that I had left. I think

Creative Curriculum 1. Select and identify TWO concepts presented in the video you find significant as an early educator and explain why you selected these concepts (7 descriptive/detailed sentences) In the Creative Curriculum video, I noticed the schedule they kept was far more regimented then the other types of preschools. The planning and preparation the teachers put into their classrooms lesson plans were well thought out and specific. Every moment of the day seems to be planned and each activity is designed with a specific purpose in mind.

Since this was the first time I have ever taught a lesson to younger students I was not thinking of having the students use the clip chart in the class. At the end of the lesson, the students had a higher than normal noise level and the desks were pushed away from the normal setting. Next time, I need to utilize the clip chart to award good behavior and to show consequences to the ones who are not following directions. In the future, I will also use the clapping method to regain the attention of the students to bring the noise level down to an appropriate

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.

Early mornings have kids, and adults exhausted. Kids have a six hour day of school and whatever activities they participate in after. Some students are looking at 10 hour days and that can be draining. The last thing kids want to do when they come home from long days is homework. Homework can be consuming majority of the time because of all the work that needs to be done in different classes.

Observational learning occurs when we observe the actions of another and note the consequences of that person’s actions, then decide whether to imitate them or not. In other words, modelling is any process in which information is imparted by example, before direct practice is allowed (rosenthal & Steffek, 1991). It has been found that children as young as 21 days old have been shown to imitate facial expressions and mouth movements. For observational learning to occur, several factors must be involved.

Explaining how original ideas come out in steps and clarifying what we are going to achieve for each step help students understand the key ideas. For example, in my Ordinary Differential Equations course, when dealing with a new differential equation, the class re-experience the procedures like, what observations we can make; what the difficulties are; and how the new methods work. Instead of directly showing them answers, I like asking them how they will deal with the issues and typically wait until I hear from them. This way helps them more involved. I will often try their suggestion and explain how it work or why it does not work and then introduce a new idea.

I think the thing that would make the biggest difference on the lesson as a whole, would have been if we would have started earlier so we would have had more time to practice our scripts and make edits were needed. This would have improved the lesson as a whole since they we would have been able to slow down while we were presenting. The speed of our lesson is the biggest issue the preservice teachers wrote about on the peer evaluations. In particular, they really wanted us to slow down so they would have had more time to fill in the concept webs. Another, suggestion the preservice teachers had about the concept webs, was to have some of the already filled out so they did not have as much to fill in.

It is a viable tool for addressing the maximum participation of the child and can be a catalyst to ensure effective learning. Effective teachers use an array of teaching strategies because there is no single, universal approach that suits all situations. Different strategies used in different combinations with different groupings of students will improve learning outcomes. Some strategies are better suited to teaching skills and fields of knowledge than others. Some strategies are better suited to certain student backgrounds, learning styles and

Presenting the content with clear explanations and warm language. Providing students guided, less-guided, and independent practice. There is also the 20/80 rule in lesson design. 20% of class time is devoted to instructions, and the 80% of time is spent to students’ practice. Thus, students are getting the most of classroom time not only to practice but also to assimilate new knowledge and

Why? During my lesson, I did have to alter my instructional plan as I taught the lesson. Therefore, the reason that I had to change my instructional plan was because, my students needed for me to model the lesson concept more than I had planned. Furthermore, the students were able to effectively complete their individual work after I added additional time to model for them how to find the main idea of a piece of text.
