Behaviorism
Name two major areas of teacher shortage.
ESL, ESE, Bilingual, Math, and Science
Failing to notice a fully visible event because focus is intensely on something else.
Inattentional Blindness
An example would be a teacher asking students to simultaneously display their written solution on whiteboards.
Show Me
Students enter class, immediately begin a brief written task aligned to prior learning, and require no teacher prompting.
Do Now
A way of teaching that centers on the use of questions by the teacher to lead students to a certain conclusion
Socratic Method
Shapes how we think and behave by guiding social practices.
Culture
Decline of memory retention when there is no review of information.
Forgetting Curve

A teacher consistently expects students to answer in complete, grammatically correct sentences during academic discussions.
Format Matters
Who theorized that children should be treated with kindness and love?
Pestalozzi
See education as a competitive edge in moving up in society.

Unlimited capacity storage system that holds information and experiences.
Long-Term Memory
Anticipating likely errors during lesson planning.
Plan for Error
A teacher introduces a challenging primary source by emphasizing its value and expressing confidence that students can master it.
Without Apology
This cognitive theorist believes that development happens in stages.
Jean Piaget
Learning from family and community that culture is dynamic and constantly evolving.
Enculturation
Cognitive lag happens when you switch from one task to another, leaving part of your brain still focused on the unfinished task.
Attention Residue
Before introducing a new concept, the teacher verifies that all students have successfully completed the prerequisite task.
Affirmative Checking
As students solve a problem, the teacher records the solution on the board exactly as students should organize it in their notebooks.
Board = Paper
Teacher-centered philosophy based on idealism, with a focus on teaching core content and memorizing basic facts.
Essentialism
Social efficiency
Has limited capacity and can temporarily hold information.
Working Memory
After a student responds, "I don't know," the teacher provides scaffolding and returns to the student to help the student answer correctly. Which principle is the teacher reinforcing?
No Opt Out
Students independently annotate a text because they know their thinking will later be discussed and supported with textual evidence.
