Quote of the Day • “The mediocre teacher tells. • The good teacher explains. • The superior teacher demonstrates. • The great teacher inspires.”

Set-up of Paper/Clear Learning Targets • Intro paragraph • Examines how various developmentally-appropriate teaching methods are aligned with the goals and objectives of the lesson • Describes how instructional materials and resources are used to enhance the lesson • Identifies and describes the use of technology to reinforce the lesson’s developmental goals and objectives • Final paragraph
Why is this important? • Teachers teach in a variety of different ways • Students learn in a variety of different ways • The methods and the activities should be appropriate for the goals of the lessons
Instructional methods and activities • Methods are techniques the teacher uses to deliver lesson content to students. • Activities include student actions that the teacher builds into a lesson in order to comprehend or master the content being taught.
General TeachingTechniques • Cooperative learning • Direct Instruction • Games • Art Projects • Guided Notes • And Many More!
Think Technology • Think about all the technology you use throughout your day here at school. • What do you or your teachers use?
Think about learning styles and developmental aspects of the learner • Example: My 6th period class learns best through hands-on activities and projects, my 7th period class learns best by discussions and verbal directions. • Example: Giving a written test in Braille for a students with a visual impairment. • Example: Giving a 2nd grader 2 days to complete an essay…bad idea.
Sample Artifacts • Power Point presentation w/ guided notes • Student note-taking • Reading assignment through text • Student research • Audio-visual equipment • Guest speakers • Games • Supplies • Movies
Major No-No’s • A teacher does not accommodate all learners (Ex: Speak only German and 65% of the class is English) • A teacher does not make accommodations for students with special needs (Ex: Student who is hearing impaired is placed in the back of the classroom)
Whatever you do… • The materials used in the classroom MUST support the lesson being taught • Please consider using a variety of methods, activities, materials and resources when you teach • Make it fun…at least when you are able to
SURPRISE! • To make sure you get the point of this Domain…. • Take your Unit Lesson Plan • Add something to show your ability to use a variety of instructional methods. • Can be directed toward a different learning type OR a student with a disability • Must cohesively go with one of your 5 lessons but clearly show a varied approach. • DUE: Next Friday HINT: try to think of someone specifically in your classroom that would need the extra help
