13. Instructional Triangle Student Instruction Task Match=Success

14. HCPSS/OSS/Level I Fall 08/mlk/08 Variance explained by each factor Student = 50- 60% Contribution of each factor to overall Student Achievement for the Typical learner Instruction = 25-35% Task = 5-15% Bloom, 1976

15. HCPSS/OSS/Level I Fall 08/mlk/08 The amount of variance explained by each factor Student = 10- 20% Low Achiever: Student comes with LESS Prior Knowledge Student accounts for LESS Instruction and Task factors account for MORE Instruction = 40-45% Task = 40-45%

18. What did you hear?

19. Prepare to Practice »Think of a real student you are concerned about. »To role playing as case manager, decide what materials you will use. »As the student’s “teacher,” what instruction do you provide? What are your concerns? »As the observer, what materials you want to use?

20. Working in trios, decide who will serve what role in this role play: Case Manager, Teacher, Observer. Each person should have at least one opportunity to participate in the practice rounds.

21. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION & ANALYSIS: » Most important and likely longest stage » All aspects of the triangle considered » A shared understanding

22. What did you hear?

23. Prepare to Practice »Think of a your student again »To role play as a case manager, decide what materials you will use »As the student’s “teacher,” what instruction do you provide? What are your concerns? »As the observer, what materials you want to use?

24. Impact of Instructional Match on Emotions and Learning Match Working Memory Functioning Optimally Student Looks Happy, Attentive Student Learning Mismatch Working Memory Overloaded Student Looks Frustrated, Unhappy, Inattentive Student not Learning

25. The problem is the mismatch When a gap exists between what the student knows and is able to do and what the learning environment demands, we have an instructional mismatch and need to intervene to make a match.
