A BLAST FROM THE PAST

1. A BLAST FROM THE PAST ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF INSTRUCTION

2. Essential Elements of Instruction Highlights of EEI The Science of Teaching Madeline Hunter

3. Question? What qualities does a good teacher possess?

4. Art vs. Science of Teaching • Total Teaching Act • Instructional Skills • Task Analysis • Teach to the Objective • Closure • The Art in Teaching will be your own personality/style/demeanor.

5. Total Teaching Act(TTA) • Human Relations Skills • Instructional Skills • Classroom Management Skills • Knowledge of Content • Use and Selection of Appropriate Material • Planning Skills

6. From theTotal Teaching Act,which is the most important skill?

7. The most important skills are the Instructional Skills!Other TTA skills are important, and they are developmental.

8. Instructional Skills • SELECT an objective at the appropriate level of difficulty. • TEACH to the objective. • MAINTAIN the focus of the learner on the learning. • USE without abuse the Principles of Learning. • MONITOR and adjust.

9. Select an objective at the appropriate level of difficulty? • Task Analysis: A system of factoring the terminal (final) objective into it’s essential enroute learnings. • Steps in Task Analysis: • Identify a terminal objective: StateStandards. • Brainstorm for possible enroute learning. • Weed Out nonessentials. • Sequence if necessary. • Form diagnostic questions.

10. Teach to the Objective T2O • EXPLANATION • QUESTIONING • RESPONDING • ACTIVITY

11. Teach to the Objective • EXPLANATION: • Definitions • Process or steps • Examples • Models • Modeling • Content

12. Teach to the Objective • QUESTIONING: • Purpose • Strategy • Types: • Individual (Sampling) • Whole Groups • Open Ended, Affective, Opinion and Thinking Questions. • In what ways (IWW) and How many ways (HMW).

13. Teach to the Objective • RESPONDING: • Responding to the learner in terms of the learning. • Purpose? • Frequency?

14. Teach to the Objective • ACTIVITY: • Purpose • Types: • Guided • Independent (unguided).

15. Maintain the Focus of the Learner on the Learning • Those things the teacher does to establish and keep the attention of the learner on learning. • Components: • Anticipatory Set. • Closure. • Active Participation.

16. Maintain the focus of the learner on the learning… • Anticipatory Set: • Purpose • Elements: • Statement of learning. • Involvement of the learner. • Relate learning to past, present, or future learning. • (Wong, Jones, and Hunter) Concepts align.

17. Maintain the focus of the learner on the learning… • Closure: • Purpose • Elements: • Summary of the learning. • Involve the learner.

18. Maintain the focus of the learner on the learning… • Active Participation: • Purpose • Types: • Covert Behavior – Body language, facial expressions, time on task, etc. • Overt Behavior – Observable learning, responses, oral and written participation, etc.

19. Use Without Abuse the Principles of Learning • Program for Effective Teaching: • Motivation • Retention • Reinforcement • Transfer • Principles may be used in any order!

20. Use without abuse the principles of learning… • MOTIVATION: • Interest – develop student interest. • Success – create successful activities. • Feeling tone – be positive in voice control. • Knowledge of results – student achievement. • Tension – Be aware of students cognition. • Rewards – Success.

21. Use without abuse the principles of learning… • RETENTION: • Meaning – Students understand concept. • Practice – Drill. • Degree of Original Learning – Maintain +. • Transfer – Integrated learning. • Feeling Tone – Positive. • Modeling – Student practice and activities.

22. Use without abuse the principles of learning… • REINFORCEMENT: • Positive • Negative • Extinction – Teacher destroys learning. • Schedule – regular or intermittent.

23. Use without abuse the principles of learning… • TRANSFER: • Positive – Authentic integration with other content areas. • Negative – No transfer of knowledge.

24. Use without abuse the principles of learning… • Four factors that help to generate positive or negative transfer: • Similarity: Analogies - Comparisons. • Association: Integrated concepts. • Degree of original learning: depth-breadth. • Identification of critical attributes: key elements.

25. Monitor and Adjust • Observe students overt and covert behaviors. (Hunter) • Differentiate instruction as necessary. (Fogarty) • Use classroom management skills. (Wong) • Work the room. (Jones)

26. HOW DO WE USE THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS MODEL TODAY?

27. WOW Backward Design Instructional Skills • SELECT an objective at the appropriate level of difficulty. • TEACH to the objective. • MAINTAIN the focus of the learner on the learning. • USE without abuse the Principles of Learning. • MONITOR and adjust.
