2. Purpose Increase teacher understanding of the nine high yield instructional strategies and how to design an effective lesson/activity that incorporates these strategies To integrate various technology applications for designing instructional activities using High Yield Strategies, Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), and Grade Level Expectations (GLEs)

5. Instructional Strategies CategoryDefinition 1. Identifying Similarities and Difference Enhance students’ understanding of and ability to use knowledge by engaging them in mental processes that involve identifying ways items are alike and different. 2. Summarizing and Note Taking Enhance students’ ability to synthesize information and organize it in a way that captures the main ideas and supporting details. 3. Reinforcing Effort and Providing Recognition Enhance students’ understanding of the relationship between effort and achievement by addressing students’ attitudes and beliefs about learning. Provide students with rewards or praise for their accomplishments related to the attainment of a goal. 4. Homework and Practice Extend the learning opportunities for students to practice, review, and apply knowledge. Enhance students’ ability to reach the expected level of proficiency for a skill or process. 5. Nonlinguistic Representation Enhance students’ ability to represent and elaborate on knowledge using mental images. 6. Cooperative Learning Provide students with opportunities to interact with each other in groups in ways that enhance their learning. 7. Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback Provide students a direction for learning and information about how well they are performing relative to a particular learning goal so that they can improve their performance. 8. Generating and Testing Hypotheses Enhance students’ understanding of and ability to use knowledge by engaging them in mental processes that involve making and testing hypotheses. 9. Cues, Questions, and Advance Organizers Enhance students’ ability to retrieve, use, and organize what they already know about a topic.

12. Students in my World History class have been working on a service project to help the victims in Darfur that are suffering from genocide. The class was broken into groups and one of the groups created a website to educate people about the problems in Darfur and fund raising activities. The website is: http://dough4darfur.synthasite.com/ This is an ongoing project. Source: M. Brody

14. High Yield Planning HOMEWORK AND PRACTICE

15. http://istics.net/stat/Correlations/ [Practice at Home]http://istics.net/stat/Correlations/ The reason I used the scatter plot lessons throughout every math class, is I want my kids to review and practice in class and work on iLEAP/GEE prep at home. So none of this should be new, it should all be review. However, I think a small item will be new and that is the rate of correlation, which is apparent in this nice web source. All of the scatter plots have a slope of about one or negative one, however, the closer the dots, the higher the correlation, that is the closer the rate of correlation is to 1 or -1. Source: W. Milliman

16. 4 Teams In Class Practice Creating a Prediction Equation from a Scatter plot Students are to graph points given, on a coordinate grid with pencil and paper. Then they are to arrange the steps in this program that they will follow to find the prediction equation.

18. High Yield Planning Cooperative Learning / Nonlinguistic Representation in-class activity Paper Car Design and Distance Competition

19. Paper Car Design Objective: Apply and document your use of the design process. Problem: Design and build a paper car that will carry a cargo of an eraser the longest distance from a twenty-inch long ramp. You can only use the following materials: 1. Two sheets of paper, 8 ½ “ x 11” 2. Three: 3” x 5” note cards 3. Two straws 4. One rubber band 5. 12” of tape 6. Four wheels Tools: Scissors and a ruler Specific Regulations: 1. All materials will be provided. No other materials will be allowed. 2. Maximum length – 8 inches. 3. Maximum width – 3 inches. 4. Cargo must be removable. 5. You may not use fire or water. 6. Cars, which fail to meet the specific regulations, will be disqualified. Procedure: 1. The vehicle, which has traveled further than any other vehicle, is the winner. Additional finalists will be recognized accordingly. 2. The distance the vehicle travels will be measured from the bottom of the ramp to the front of the vehicle. 3. The track will be 12” wide. If the vehicle leaves the designated track, the distance will be recorded where any part of the vehicle left the track boundary. 4. Participants may set the vehicle at the top of the ramp in any way that they desire and can only release – not push the vehicle. 5. Participants will not be allowed to remove, alter, or modify their vehicle in any way after the vehicle has been submitted for competition. 6. Arguing, bad sportsmanship, or setting your opponent’s car on fire will result in a time out. Source: L.S.U. Engineering Conference 2009
