Core Concepts
BRAIN-BASED INSTRUCTION: the knowledge and skills to be a better teacher, problem solving approach to teaching
The science of teaching
Level of plan that captures the whole year in a map or pacing guide
Long range planning
Students meet with the exact same group repeatedly for a specific purpose
fixed grouping
Learning by hearing
auditory
What moves information from your sensory register to your short term memory?
Attention
CREATING EXPERIENCES: Knowing how and when to use particular strategies to teach the curriculum; the ability to logically, and in a variety of ways, divide content and skills into manageable components and create experiences that lead to student learning.
The art of teaching
Level of planning that captures a single day and includes a formative assessment
Lesson plan
Students meet in a variety of groups, some times with a purpose and sometimes at random
flexible grouping
An instructional model that starts with a question/curiosity that the student explores and discusses before the teacher clarifies/teaches the content
Inquiry learning
What cause information to be "encoded" in your long-term memory?
Rehearsal
HELPING OTHERS: impacting the lives of students through learning experiences
The service of teaching
Level of planning the captures a collection of several days and ends in a summative assessment
unit plan
the students in group are all different (ability or interest or role or content)
heterogeneous grouping
Name one modality.
Possible answers: Visual, auditory, tactile, kinesthetic
What is it called when something is moved from your long-term memory to your short-term memory for use?
retrieval
"HOW" teachers lead a student to learning
Instruction
The mode of planning that begins with the end in mind; the teacher determines the goal/outcome first and then plans how to get there
Results>Evidence>Instruction
Backward design
the students in group are all similar in some way (ability or interest or role or content)
homogeneous grouping
A lesson that involves both traditional "lecture" and online activities
Blended learning
The typical person can only actively use 3-5 pieces of information in their short-term memory. What is it called when we group small scraps of information into a group so that we can hold onto more information at once? (Example: We group a phone number into three parts connect by hyphens so that we can remember the whole series.)
Chunking
"WHAT" is taught: standards and content
curriculum
The steps for teacher actions in a lesson plan
Procedures
The instructional model that intentionally transitions between the following groupings:
Whole group > Partner/small group > independent
"I do"
"We do"
"You do"
Gradual release of responsibility
A lesson in which the "lecture" occurs online via video and then the classroom time is used to engage in collaboration and in-person learning activities
Flipped
Low-stakes quizzes, flashcards, and concept maps are all types of
retrieval strategies
