Being an Intentional Teacher

Being an Intentional Teacher

1. How do I create lessons that stimulate all levels of learning but are not too easy or too challenging?

   • By knowing where each child is specifically in all areas of learning
     • Observing children while learning and giving assessments helps with finding their level
       • Detailed explicit notes should be taken along with running records
   • Having broad lessons or lessons with different level problems
     • Pairing higher level students with lower level
       • Know all students strengths and needs
         • OS, Observation, and Running Records
     • Make connections with words everyone knows
       • Word/Letter work with children
       • Know what words the children can take to fluency

2. What course design will be the most effective for my students?

   • Incorporates activities based on state content standards
     • Use the learners prior knowledge, experience, and interests to plan lessons
       • Provide opportunities for the student to use oral language skill to find the above
   • Provide instructional accommodations, modifications, and adaptations to meet the needs of each individual learner
     • Detailed book introduction,
     • Specific prompting

3. How can I make sure all aspects of my curriculum are sensitive to individual differences

   • Observe the students to find their individual culture, ethnicity, and social differences
     • Being able to differentiate between a student having difficulties related to language learning and between a student having difficulties related to cognitive development
       • Give lessons in all language areas such as letter/word work, rereading, and running record
   • By thinking unbiasedly it will be easier to be sensitive to all differences without having to over think
     • Know the children personally and what they are interested in
       • Provide opportunities for children to use their oral language
