5Es
This phase of the 5Es lesson is designed to capture students interest and stimulate curiosity.
What is Engage?
In student centred classrooms this type of assessment is ongoing and is used to provide feedback that guides student learning.
What is formative assessment?
In student centred classrooms, teachers act in this role rather than being the sole source of knowledge.
What is a facilitator?
Providing tiered assignements is a strategy that supports this type of student difference.
What is readiness?
The NSC is grounded in this type of approach which emphasizes active engagement, real-world application and critical thinking.
What is a student centred approach?
During this phase, students are encouraged to investigate a concept or phenomenon through hands on, minds on activities.
What is Explore?
This element of a lesson plan is used to clearly state what students are expected to achieve and to ensure alignment with assessment.
What is a learning objective?
This method invovles students working in small groups to achieve shared learning goals while keeping each other accountable.
What is cooperative learning? What is collaboration?
A teacher offering a choice board for a writing assignment is differentiating this element of instruction.
What is product?
This element of the NSC provides activities that are crafted in such a way to be an efficient vehicle which can move the student between what is to be learnt and what the student is to become.
What is Suggested Teaching and Learning Activies?
In this phase students apply their new knowledge to new but related situations, extending their knowledge.
What is Elaborate?
This term describes the logical connection between what is taught, what is assessed and what students are expected to learn.
What is alignment?
This approach encourages students to explore real world problems and develop solutions through critical thinking and collaboration.
What is project based learning?
Teachers can differentiate on three elements of a lesson; content, process and this third area.
What is product?
This element of the NSC tells what students are expected to already know through learning and experience about a topic.
What is prior learning?
This phase might include using graphic organisers, peer teaching or journaling to support concept clarification.
What is Explain?
A well-aligned assessment task must match both the content and this element of the learning objective.
What is level of thinking or cognitive demand?
This instructional approach involves tailoring teaching to meet the diverse needs, readiness levels, interests and learning profiles of students.
What is differentiated instruction?
Differentiation is guided by student readiness, interest and this personal characteristic.
What is learning profile?
This is the evidence that an intended result has been achived at the end of a unit. It tells us that the students have understood and grasped what they have been learning.
What are Learning Outcomes?
This phase may incclude both formative and summative methods such as rubrics, observations and portfolios.
What is Evaluate?
This type of assessment is primaryily used for grading and reporting rather than improving instruction.
What is summative assessment?
In this methodology students rotate through stations or activities tailored to different learning styles and readiness levels.
What are learning stations or leanring centre approach?
This grouping strategy allows students to work together on tasks based on shared needs and is not permanent.
What is flexible grouping?
This element of the NSC suggests opportunities for integration and transfer of learning across and within different subject areas.
What is "Links to Other Subjects"?
