Telling students where you are in the learning throughout the lesson will help the brain do this.
What is focus?
100
This is when centers or stations that reinforce skills previously taught are used. (They can be tiered to reinforce and challenge all learners.)
What is Tier 1 Differentiated Instruction?
100
Takes over leading and questioning their classmates.
What is a student leader?
100
These must be in place before any meaningful teaching will take place. These, plus effective rules, decrease disruptive behaviors 28%.
What are procedures and routines?
100
This is posted to help the student and the teacher know the 'what' and 'how' of the lesson.
What is an objective?
200
The brain processes in this very logical way.
What is sequential processing?
200
This is where comprehension skills and strategies along with Key Vocabulary for today's learning are displayed.
What is a focus wall?
200
These are more powerful than manipulatives because they leave a record students can refer to later.
What are math drawings?
200
This is concerned with how students behave and has rewards and penalties while procedures (step-by-step instructions) are concerned with how things are done and doesn't have rewards and penalties.
What is discipline?
200
Because meaning is processed before detail, when we give the general idea first (the Jist), it equals this percent improvement in understanding. (John Medina - Brian rules)
What is 40%?
300
This kind of event is better remembered by the brain.
What is emotionally charged?
300
30 minute in-class or pull-out reading intervention for strategic and intensive students in groups of 7 students or less. Also, challenge activities are provided for core level students. This is also a time for preloading story vocabulary for EL, SPED, and intensive students.
What is Tier 2 reading?
300
Students are taught this sign can be on either side of the equation.
What is the equal sign?
300
This is the KEY to implementing classroom procedures.
What is consistency?
300
Stage 1 is "Watch me as I do it."
Stage 2 is "Let's do it together."
Stage 3 is "Let's talk or write about it."
What are the 3 stages of modeling?
400
This is when memory processes learning.
What is when you are sleeping?
400
Teaching word meaning through discussion, pictures, and gestures by connecting them to real world examples.
What is key vocabulary?
400
Teachers create this kind of community through involving students, modeling, clarifying, explaining, questioning and giving feedback to students.
What is a Math Talk Community?
400
one minute for centers/station changes
three minutes for changing classes
five minutes for moving to another area of the school
What is a transition time?
400
Modeling your thinking process verbally is called this.
What is a 'Think Aloud'?
500
Meaning is processed before details in the brain so objectives give the students this.
What is the 'jist'?
500
30 minute pull-out for intensive students with 5 or fewer students to a group which are progress monitored every 2 weeks.
What is Tier 3?
500
This kind of teaching is the basis for Math Expressions and builds networks in the brain.
What is Learning Path Teaching?
500
Step 1: explain clearly
Step 2: rehearse these until they become these
step 3: reinforce correct ones and reteach incorrect ones
What is turning procedures into routines?
500
Material presented in timed intervals in an effort to get it into long term memory is this. (An example might be L to J Math Standard Review)
