• Critical thinking- Determines the value of something.
• Inductive thinking-It moves from parts to the whole from example to generalizations.
• Deductive thinking Moves from the whole to its part from generalization to examples.
Characteristics of Authentic instruction.
Types of approach to teaching and learning including authentic instruction, engaged learning and learning by design and learner centred instruction.
Theses includes the following:
• Learner Autonomy-Authentic instruction gives for and builds on learner autonomy.
• Active Learning-It focuses on an active experiential learning.
• Holistic - Authentic is holistic it simply relates to the fact that we gain important skills, including reading, spelling, math and technology skills, when we learn them within the context of meaningful activities.
Complex Activities -Authentic instruction incorporates real worlds and complex problems
Challenging activities - Authentic instruction is challenging most of us had been happy when completing a difficult puzzle.

Recognition Network- for you to recognize something example, person, sound you rely on the recognition of your brain, It helps you identify patterns coming to learning it helps with the process on what should be learned.
Affective Networks-can influence one's motivation for and engagement particular goal medium, cultural backgrounds and e.t.c.
Universal Design in the classroom - How to use your knowledge about these three networks in your classroom.
Three aspects of teaching cycle:
• Setting learning goals
• Taking action by providing learning activities
• Assess student progress to monitor and evaluate student growth.
Assisstive Technologies-Need to receive specific technologies some students may need technologies in order for them to understand how to use this technologies in order for students to achieve their
After reading this week’s chapters from our textbook, one interesting topic that was discussed in chapter five was classifying instructional objectives. When a teacher wants to design objectives, it is important that they use three domains and they are the cognitive domain, affective domain, and psychomotor domain. The cognitive domain involves mental operations from the lowest level of the simple recall of information to complex, high-level evaluative process (Carjuzaa & Kellough, 2017, pg. 136). The affective domain involves feelings, attitudes, and values and ranges from the lower levels of acquisition to the highest level of internalization and action (Carjuzaa & Kellough, 2017, pg. 136). Psychomotor domain ranges from the simple manipulation
Mission Statement It is the mission of the Dallas Independent School District to build a safe and positive physical education environment for all students, and encourage our community to be apart of our progression to build a physically active lifestyle for all our students. Goals and Objectives It is our vision to inspire and implement instruction that emphasizes enjoyable activities for all students to maintain this healthy and active approach for life. The goal of our department is to provide these diverse experiences through physical, cognitive and wellness related activities that develop the mind and body with the collaboration of staff, students and the community.
The Creative Curriculum integrates all aspects of child and youth development. Using research-validated strategies, this approach enhances each young person's growth in the foundations of academics as well as in social-emotional, physical, and creative areas. By adopting the Creative Curriculum — and learning to use it effectively — thousands of educators and caregivers worldwide are making a difference in the lives of children, youth, and families. Many of the activities that Creative teachers do in the classroom or center can also be done at home. For example, families can provide many different learning materials, often using everyday objects that cost little or nothing.
Through implement activities in this classroom, I observed that children have capacity to use materials in variety of ways to learn and explore base on their experiences and interests. Even though I have planned my activity and image how children might approach to the materials, I restrain instructions and let children express how they play and learn. I stay beside to observe and assist when children needed. It is treasure to see how children excited to learn and be creative. In the classroom, I’m sensitive to individual differences and abilities.
It is important both AT and services because while it is good for the student to have the device, if the student does not know how to use it nor do the people in setting that help implement the AT device it is not going to work for well for student. All parties must be involved in learning to use the device efficiently and monitor the progress of the student with the device. 4. Describe three responsibilities of the Implementation
i. The School and College Administration should be bound to Revise practices, policies, and regulations to ensure complete privacy and information protection while enabling a model of assessment that includes ongoing gathering and sharing of data for continuous improvement of learning and teaching. ii. The School and College Administration should design, develop, and implement learning dashboards, response systems, and communication pathways that give students, educators, families, and other stakeholders timely and actionable feedback about student learning to improve achievement and instructional practices. iii. The School and College Administration Should Create and validate an integrated system for designing and implementing valid, reliable, and cost-effective
2. For General Education Competencies what I demonstrated in my artifact is using Critical Thinking: Learners will demonstrate the ability to draw conclusions based
Stations or centers might be teacher-led if new knowledge is to be given or student-led if mastery is to be obtained on the information given by the teacher. Project-based is another strategy and one of the best ways to differentiate instruction due to the students’ needs and styles are addressed. Projects internalize help and support among students beside some academic skills. Tiered Activities, on the other hand, are based on the learning tasks designed at different levels of complexity according to students’ readiness levels, i.e. to be gradually given to the students ,whenever the student finishes one stage, they transfer to the other one until the task is done, or at times keeping the learning outcomes same the learning tasks can be designed according to students’ learning preferences viz. Learning styles or Gardner’s multiple intelligences.
Those five ways include i) whole class teaching, ii) group work (teacher-led), iii) group work (student-led), iv) one-to-one (teacher and student) and v) one-to-one (student pairs). Whole class teaching seems to be the most important way in my class and I can be very sure in any other class since it is the main method uses to convey knowledge to students. Students get very comfortable and happy doing group work but there is a little case in which student is prefer to do individual work. No matter which way is selected, indirectly, students are actually developing their critical thinking. It is proved when students submit their work or project.
The promises of educational technology are phenomenal especially in the case of urban school districts. Technology is a versatile and valuable tool for teaching and learning and becoming a way of life. The most important thing is that teachers need to be prepared to use these technologies effectively. Schools can use technology effectively and for the welfare of students, teachers and society, it must be done.
We know the main pro of authentic assessment is that it allows the student to take what they’ve learned and apply it to everyday life. Students aren’t forced to just memorize facts that will fade away after a few days. They are able to demonstrate their creative side to show what they’ve learned. Students are able to also refine their writing and oral presentation skills through authentic assessment. While authentic assessment is a great tool that allows students to display their knowledge in many different ways, it also has its downfalls.
For differences that result from cognitive abilities, learning styles, or developmental stages, the differentiation in delivery style and product styles support students’ academic, emotional, and social growth. Strategies that support diversity: • frequently vary instructional technique • develop lessons around students ' interests, needs, and experiences • provide an encouraging, supportive environment • use cooperative learning and peer tutors for students needing remediation • provide study aids • teach content in small sequential steps with frequent checks for comprehension • use individualized materials and individualized instruction whenever possible • use
It is a very common teaching strategy, relying on strict lesson plans and lectures with little or no room for variation. Direct instruction does not include activities like discussion, recitation, seminars, workshops, case studies, or internships. DI is probably the most popular teaching strategy that is used by teachers to facilitate learning. It is teacher directed and follows a definite structure with specific steps to guide pupils toward achieving clearly defined learning outcomes. The teacher maintains the locus of control over the instructional process and monitors pupils ' learning throughout the process.
Teachers have to use different pedagogical approaches. They should participate actively in their learning and to assist professional development. The
TRADITIONAL TEACHING METHODS TO TEACH WITHN THE CONTEXT OF HIGHER EDUCATION Teaching methods refers to the general principles, pedagogy and management strategies used to classroom instruction. The choice to teaching methods depends on what fits educational philosophy, classroom demographic, subject area and school mission statement. The teaching theories can be arrangement into four categories and based on two major parameters- a teacher centred approach versus and a student –centred approach, and high tech material use versus low-tech material use. TEACHER-CENTRED APPROACH TO LEARNING Taken to its most extreme interpretation, teachers are the main figure in a teacher-centred instruction model.
