Incomplete assignments
Not attending to the task
Lack of motivation
Unorganized
High absenteeism
Have half the room write characteristics of low achieving students and half skills needed for academic success.

4. Strategic Instruction Model
Center for Research on Learning
at the
University of Kansas
Presenter: Debra Stelk
Consultant AEA9
So, have I got the answer for you.

5. What is it?
The Strategic Instruction Model is a research based comprehensive approach to teaching adolescents who struggle to become good readers, writers, and learners.
The first thing I want to emphasize is that it is research based and comprehensive. And…it was designed for adolescents.

6. Outcomes Develop knowledge of the Strategic Instruction Model (SIM)
Explain the difference between a Content Enhancement Routine and a Learning Strategy
Identify critical content area where you could use Content Enhancement Routines and Learning Strategies
This morning I would like you to be able to achieve these outcomes. Read

7. Where does it come from? Center for Research on Learning
University of Kansas
Founded in 1978
Don Deshler
$80 million spent on Research
Don Deshler, Gordon Alley , Gary Clark
1976, special ed law just passed requiring k-12, services in reality had only been provided till grade 6, CEC conference in Chicago, submitted a presentation on secondary LD, anticipated 30 people and 300 showed up, they recognized that they had ideas but no data, secured funding
The following summer the Center for research on Learning

8. What does the research show ?
Increased performance on tests
Increased performance on writing assignments
Increased performance on concept mastery

9. Why is it important? Challenges Increase in content to be covered
Increase in performance standards
Increase in student diversity
Increase in class size
There are challenges in the classroom and of which you have personal knowledge. And I suspect with more inclusion ,the diversity in the classroom is increasing.

10. Information Explosion/ Instructional Time Dilemma

Content

2000
This slide graphically illustrates the fact that the amount of content now required for students to understand and be able to demonstrate has grown dramatically whereas the amount of time to teach that content has not increased over time.

The red line demonstrates the anticipated growth of students and shows the normal slope of growth for students if they are to become proficient by 12th grade. Students who are at-risk tend to plateau at the 8th grade or earlier. This performance gap widens over time unless students are given skills and strategies to help overcome this.

15. Rigorous Standards Palatable for teachers
Have value for high and average achieving students
Have an effect on low achieving students
Results in statistically significant gains for students
The skill must be maintained and generalized
The Strategic Instruction Model or SIM for short is not just a line down the paper.

16. 5 Phases of the Curriculum Development Model
Identification
Design
Pilot-test
Research
Refinement
Theses steps in development wer utilized in creating the SIM strategies and routines. What might be different about this development is that it was conducted with teachers and in classroom at every level.
And…it was conducted at the secondary level. It wasn’t a primary strategy altered for secondary.

27. Learning Strategy
A research based eight-stage process to promote mastery and generalization of specific skills.
Learning strategies are used with small groups or individuals. They are more intensive and work on speciafic skills.
Some of these can be adapted for the general education classroom and I know some of you are doing that already.

28. Learning Strategies Specific skill
Taught individually or in small group
Intensive Instruction
