Purpose of....
This lesson component helps the teacher ensure the lesson is aligned to the curriculum designed by the state of Texas. It includes defining a measurable outcome for determining if students met the learning goal.
What is the content objective?
1. Intentionally choose instructional strategies based on what ought to be happening in students' minds during the lesson.
2. Have an organized manner to think through how the lesson will be presented.
3. Purposefully use diversity in the classroom and community to enrich all students' learning experiences.
4. Ensure lessons are aligned to the TEKS and have a measurable assessment piece.
What is the purpose of a lesson plan?
This is the term that is used to refer to the congruency with instructional goals and objectives, lesson activities, and assessments.
What is alignment?
A language objective that meets this standard: 74.4(c)(5)(B) write using newly acquired basic vocabulary and content-based grade level vocabulary.
What is (language objective given)?
Must include students writing vocabulary with context (not just copy words/definitions)
These are two separate processes of the brain. One typically requires repetition of new learning while the other requires developing multiple pathways to the memory.
What is storing and retrieving memories?
This part of the lesson plan allows students to clarify what was learned and what is still a struggle, consolidate learning through review, practice using the learning, or link learning to prior and future lessons and knowledge.
What is the closing?
This lesson model is also known as the gradual release model because it gradually moves responsibility for learning from the teacher to the student.
What is the direct instruction lesson model?
A learning strategy that asks and engages students in pursuing compelling, difficult-to-answer questions that defy a simple, straightforward answer.
What is inquiry-based learning?
According to Maslow, for students to be able to learn it is important for teachers to first address these basic needs.
What are safety and security?
Cognitive scientists have found that the more associations we make with a new memory, the more likely we will be able to store and retrieve it for later use. Thus we must encourage this element in preschool, elementary, middle, and high schools. (What is the element?)
What is retrieval practice?
The part of the lesson plan that is used to activate prior knowledge, create interest or curiosity in the topic to learn, and/or settle students for learning.
What is the focus activity?
These are the steps of the Jigsaw lesson, in order.
What is information gathering, expert group, home group, assessment and recognition?
These are the levels of Bloom's Taxonomy, in order from most complex to least complex.
What are evaluation, synthesis/create, analysis/relationships, application/transfer, understanding/comprehension?
Ms. Isabella Ringinyet put her students in random groups to learn a concept. She then assessed the individual's learning and gave a group prize to the most successful group. What did the teacher do wrong in this lesson model?
STAD requires balanced groups.
To encode learning into this memory, teachers need to space practice sessions over a period of days or even weeks.
What is long-term memory?
Having this in the lesson plan verifies the teacher is teaching Texas' standards for what students should be able to know and do.
What are TEKS?
These are the steps of the STAD lesson plan model, in order.
What is presentation, team study, individual assessment, team recognition/reward?
Cognitive scientists refer to this as the process of seeing a problem for what it is and conjuring up the right script in our mind to solve it.
What is schema, or mental model?
Mr. Cy Lance needs to teach his students 20 vocabulary words. Students need to really know the definition, so he decides the direct instruction method of instruction is best because he has the most control over learning in this model.
What would work better?
What is Jigsaw?
Using the Jigsaw so students divide the workload, take ownership in the learning, and do a majority of the teaching.
Immediate memory: interest, commitment, present stimuli
Working memory: focus, make sense, engage students
Long-term memory: practice, extend, apply, revisit learning
What are the three phases of memory and their characteristics in the classroom?
This element is specific, forward thinking, understandable, and encouraging.
What is effective feedback?
These are the lesson plan models discussed in EDED 3310, from least student centered to most student centered.
What is direct instruction, STAD, and Jigsaw?
Texas' state assessment program designed to measure the extent to which students have learned and are able to apply the knowledge and skills defined in the state-mandated curriculum standards.
What is STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness)?
Scientific concept that supports the assertion that one of the most effective teaching strategies is "to invite your students to share, recall, or brainstorm what they already know about a topic they are going to learn more about."
What is prior knowledge?
can hold 4-7 bits of information at a time
time-out after 5-10 minutes
unlikely to learn if feel unsafe or insecure
does not always function as a linear process
What are some key elements to remember about students' brains when learning?
