Demonstrated Use Of Current And Innovative Teaching Practices

464 Words2 Pages

Demonstrated use of current and innovative teaching practices that demonstrate high level understanding and application of differentiation for all learners across literacy and numeracy programs.

Throughout my educational career I have consistently used current and innovative teaching practices acquired through professional development, enabling me to successfully differentiate for learners across all six KLA’ including literacy and numeracy. Implementing these innovative teaching practices ensures a high standard of student outcomes. I have achieved this by:

• Implementing NearPod lessons, in conjunction with BYOD school programs to understand, review learning experiences and provide feedback for all learners. Utilising technological teaching practices such as NearPod, enabled myself as an educator to discover …show more content…

Utilising a research task, enabled me to provide differentiation by allowing student to choose the means of presenting their task. For lower level learners, I used a high level of scaffolding and allowed them to research in pairs. For gifted and talented learners, I provided extended questions for them to provide specific links to the task. This successful experience created an inclusive environment where all students enhanced their literacy and digital literacy outcomes.

• Utilising numeracy groups that relate to students, interests, skills and position on the numeracy continuum. Implementing numeracy groups allowed myself to work with multiple students who need the same specific needs. A specific example in my 3-6 class is providing one group with higher level of scaffolding, when counting to 10 and providing the other 2 groups with independent and extension activities, such as Base Ten Block/Think Tank Maths (iPads). This successful teaching practice allowed students to work cohesively at different levels whilst achieving enhanced

    During Dr. Lauri Kirsch’s presentation, she discussed one of the professional development strategies where she conducted a simulation of students that have resources along with students that do not have resources. The professional development titled “Four Corners”, paired teachers together, rationing out supplies, and asking all the groups to produce the same outcome. This analogy resembles what students from impoverished areas face, daily. They are not as equipped as their counterparts yet they are asked to perform at the same

In this section I will analyse the effectiveness of teaching and learning approaches used in my own area of specialism (ESOL) in relation to meeting the individual needs of learners. Teachers must incorporate a large “variety of learning approaches” into their lessons in order to cater towards the individual needs of their learners (Barron 2020c: Paragraph 1).

    “Differentiation is not a set of tools, but a belief system or mindset that educators embrace to meet the unique needs of every learner.” (Gregory, 2013, 2). A teacher may have 15 to 25 students in a classroom at one time with various strengths and weaknesses. The importance of using differentiated instruction allows a teacher to use different content, assessment tools, performance tasks and instructional strategies (Gregory,2013, 3) to reach each one of those children. Common Core State Standards need to be targeted early on when deciding to use differentiated instruction so the students meet state requirements.

    Individual or small group teaching can help these students. After teaching the lesson, meeting with small groups of students with similar needs and discussing the lesson can help students reach the learning tasks. Students in these small groups can discuss with each other and ask and answer questions together. Having students work and learn from each other may be more beneficial because some students may understand concepts better when being taught by a peer. I will also listen to the discussion to understand individual students strengths and areas of improvement

    Explain why teachers should adopt “ differentiated instruction “ in class” The cornerstone of differentiation is active planning, the teacher plans instruction strategically to meet learners where they are and to offer multiple avenues through which they can acces, understand and apply learning. In differentiating lessons, teachers must take into account not only what they are teaching ( content) but also whom they are teaching (individual that is students). They need to know the varying readiness level , interests and learning profiles of each of their students and the design learning options to fit into these factors. Differentiated instruction means giving students choices about how to learn and how to demonstrate their learning.
