Assist in the Implementation of Planned Educational Programs

Whole Students share their learning Students display their knowledge by summarising the concepts Group Students work independently on activities to reinforce the concept Focus teaching group for student who require extra assistance or extension Whole Tunning in activitiesThe explicit teaching is done here

What do you want the children to know How are they going to learn it How will they know if they know it

 An Objective is a result you intend to achieve.  may also be referred to as targets, aims, goals.  An Outcome are broad indicators (benchmarks) of student achievement.

Before creating you must know  Purpose  Audience Your Notes, Handouts, Worksheets must:  Be engaging  Written in pain English  Simple language  Use short sentences  Include key instructions  Allow plenty of space for students to answer  Easy – difficult  Reasonable length  Easily adaptable for students with disabilities  Error free.

 Peer Tutoring  Small Group/Co-Operative Learning  Ad hoc groups.  Homogeneous ability groups.  Teacher structured heterogeneous groups.  Friendship groups.  Random groups.  Interest groups.  ‘Buddy’ Support/ Cross-Age Tutoring

 Modelling  Cross Curricula/Theme/Inquiry  Multi Level Teaching (differentiation)  Individual Instruction  Vertical Grouping

 Computers/laptops  Tablets  Printers  cameras  Video cameras  MP3 players  Electronic Whiteboards

 Technology is a to support Learning  Digital Technology can be use in any lesson.  It should only be used if it enhances the lesson and extends the learning.

 Children enjoy a routine. It makes them feel safe to know what is going to happen and when.  It helps with time management  It serves as model for the students in developing their own time management skills  Most classrooms will have a daily routine displayed

Why  Document strengths and weakness for all students  Ensures data is gathered on each student  Provides additional data for students with special needs  Helps teachers spot instructional gaps  help teachers plan whole class, small group, individual instruction, or focus lessons based on needs  provide immediate feedback to students  give voice to narrative comments on report cards  provide specific examples to share at parent conferences  reflect how well you know each student

When to Take Anecdotal Notes  silent reading time  literature circles  small reading groups  guided reading  writing workshop  individual writing conferences  Author's Chair
