A fourth-grade ESL social studies teacher designs a lesson to encourage students to explore and identify the common experiences and struggles faced by the different groups represented in her classroom after those groups immigrated to Texas. In particular, she wants to focus on the challenges the groups faced in becoming part of Texas culture. Which strategy would encourage students to explore these challenges from diverse perspectives? Instruct students to read and discuss poetry and literature written by authors of diverse ethnicities and cultures who have migrated to Texas. Ask students to complete worksheets after reading assignments in their social studies textbook that document the hardships of migration of different cultural groups to Texas. Create an activity in which small groups of students explore the lyrics of folk music written to describe the experiences of different ethnic groups as they migrated to Texas; students write a report about their findings and the student reports are displayed on a classroom bulletin board. Assign students to conduct an interview with a family or community member who has immigrated to Texas; have students compare and contrast their responses with those collected by their classmates and produce a book of short stories based on the interviews as a culminating project

Albert Bandura (1925-Present)

Bandura's Social Learning Theory states that people learn from one another, using observation, imitation, and modeling. The theory offers a bridge between behaviorist and cognitive learning theories because it includes attention, memory, and motivation.

Constructivists

Believe learners bring their own past experiences & cultural factors to every situation, therefore learning is different for each person. Instruction should use case studies, research projects, problem-based learning, brainstorming, collaborative learning, simulations, etc.

John Dewey (1859-1952)

Believed that learning by doing enable students to develop their problem-solving skills. They could then clarify the learning & apply it in their future lives

Cognitivism

Cognitive learning theorists believe that defining learning as merely a change in behavior is too narrow. They view the learner much like a computer - learning involves a change in knowledge stored in memory, not just a change in behavior. Focus more on mental processes (rather than observable behavior)

The following definition represents what level of cognitive thinking in the Taxonomy? Present and defend opinions by making judgements about information, validity of ideas or quality of work based on a set of criteria.

Comprehend

Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934)

Constructionist theory regarding social interaction and zone of proximal development. -Social Interaction: nurture influenced development more than nature. social interaction plays an essential role in learning. Adults are a tool that children used to solve "knowledge problems", to learn how their culture worked & how they fit in -Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD): distance between a student's ability to perform a task under adult guidance and/or w/peer collaboration & the student's ability to solve the problem independently, Learning occurs in this zone

Which of the following strategies best supports a teacher's goal to incorporate critical thinking skills into language arts lessons? Providing students with opportunities to seek additional content knowledge. Creating a forum for students to debate points of view. Having students individually summarize various literature read. Having students individually summarize various literature read.

Creating a forum for students to debate points of view.

A social studies teacher is planning a unite for National Hispanic Heritage month. Which of the following activities will best engage kinesthetic learners? Comparing the monetary system of Columbia to that of the United States Observing performers model dances from different regions of Mexico Identifying important geographical features on a map of Argentina Creating masks like those traditionally used in the Ponce Carnival in Puerto Rico

Creating masks like those traditionally used in the Ponce Carnival in Puerto Rico - Rationale: Option B is correct because it allows the students to work with their hands, which is appealing for a kinesthetic learner; it also integrates the arts.

Which of the following approaches would most effectively support kindergarten students' social development when they participate in learning centers? Creating opportunities for interaction among students during learning center activities Keeping the same groups of students together as they rotate through the learning centers Balancing the students' time between quiet learning and the activity centers Assessing students' strengths and weaknesses in the skills that the center emphasize

Creating opportunities for interaction among students during learning center activities - Rationale: Students are learning how to be friends. So, the teacher should provide opportunities for students to interact with different classmates to promote socialization

Kinesthetic Learners

Definition: hands-on, experiential learners; they learn best by doing Tactics: sprinkle in a few exercises that get your audience to stand up and move around in order to demonstrate or experience certain points (i.e. role playing); you can also ask kinesthetic learners to writ things down in order to remember

Auditory Learners

Definition: prefer to hear info rather than reading it or seeing it displayed visually Tactics: auditory learners like to recite information out loud to remember it; give them a chance to repeat your points back to you by asking questions and calling for audience answers

Visual Learners

Definition: prefer to see info and to visualize the relationships between ideas Tactics: give them charts & graphics make your presentation highly visual and show the relationships between your various points

Bloom's Taxonomy Overview

Dr. Benjamin Bloom spent most of his career developing a model to classify educational learning objectives into levels of complexity--a taxonomy. We want students to do more than simply "remember" in our classrooms. So we use these levels of cognitive development to help us tap into higher-order learning and thinking. For example, when a student analyzes, they move into higher levels of thinking.

A third-grade teacher has planned a lesson designed to illustrate a living organism's need for water. After presenting a mini-lesson, the teacher engages students in a discussion in which they hypothesize the effects of the sufficiency of water supply on a living organism. Which activity would best encourage students to reflect and draw their own conclusions about an organism's need for water? Examine a plant that receives water on a regular basis and a plant that does not receive water and record their observations in their science journals. Read information together from a science textbook and have students complete worksheet questions at the end of the chapter. Research information on the importance of hydration to living organisms from a credible website. Cut pictures of plants that received water and those that did not from magazines and place them in the appropriate columns in a graphic organizer.

Examine a plant that receives water on a regular basis and a plant that does not receive water and record their observations in their science journals.

Which of the following is the most powerful influence on a person's sense of identity before adolescence? School Peers Media Family

Family - Rationale: The family has the initial and most powerful influence upon children before and immediately after birth. The impact of socialization on personality development begins with the family before it extends to other social entities.

A student who can formulate a hypothesis and work through the steps of the scientific method by isolating influences and identifying cause-and-effect relationships would be functioning at which cognitive stage of development? Concrete Operations Sensorimotor Formal Operations Preoperational

Formal Operations - Rationale: The last stage of cognitive development is formal operations. At this stage, a student can engage in hypothetical and deductive reasoning. This opens the door for higher-level thinking.

Frayer Model

Frayer (1969) has identified a strategy for teaching lesson vocabulary that increases student comprehension This instructional strategy promotes critical thinking and helps students identify and understand unfamiliar vocabulary. This technique can be used with the entire class, small groups, or individual work and draws on a student's prior knowledge to build connections among new concepts. It also creates a visual reference for students to compare attributes and examples. Frayer uses a four-square graphic organizer for students to write out the definition, examples, and characteristics or an illustration.

Howard Gardner (1943-present)

Gave us the idea that learners can measure their knowledge in the form of an IQ. Another theory of his is Multiple Intelligences

Abraham Harold Maslow (1908-1970)

Hierarchy of Needs: 1. Physiological Needs (basic need): physical requirements for human survival (air, food, drink, shelter, clothing, warmth, sex sleep) Most important needs, if not met human body cannot function optimally. 2. Safety Needs (basic need): protection from elements, security, order, law, stability, freedom from fear. 3. Social Needs (psychological need): 3rd level of human needs is social & involves feelings of belonging. (friendship, intimacy, trust, acceptance, receiving & giving affection & love, affiliating & being part of a group (family, friends, work) 4. Esteem Needs (psychological need): (i) esteem for oneself (dignity, achievement, mastery, independence) and (ii) the desire for reputation or respect from others (i.e. status, prestige) Most important for children & adolescents 5. Self-Actualization Needs (self-fulfillment need): realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking growth, & peak experiences. A desire "to become everything once is capable of becoming".

A teacher wanting to develop a lesson for a 10 year old would want to include all the following except: In-depth directions for activities Short activities Public praise Active learning experiences

In-depth directions for activities

It is important for teachers of high school students to Segregate groups of gender Include discussions of local, national and world events Keep instruction at a very concrete level to avoid confusion Provide detailed instructions rather than allowing student choice

Include discussions of local, national and world events

A new elementary school teacher attends a writing workshop that addresses strategies for improving student writing. After the workshop, the teacher can best help students by: Explaining the strategies to parents during parent-teacher conferences. Incorporating the strategies into current and future lesson plans. Explaining the strategies to the administrators and other faculty members. Incorporating the strategies in a reflective teaching journal.

Incorporating the strategies into current and future lesson plans

Anchor Activities

Independent, ongoing activities that students work on at any time when they have completed primary assignments. These activities help with classroom management and promote learning.

Kate is a 10-year-old child in a fifth-grade classroom where she is given many opportunities to be successful in learning new skills. She finds pleasure in being productive. According to Erik Erikson's psychosocial stages, Kate is demonstrating a positive outcome for which type of developmental crises? Initiative vs. Guilt Autonomy vs. Shame/Doubt Trust vs. Mistrust Industry vs. Inferiority

Industry vs. Inferiority - Rationale: This question assesses knowledge of Erikson's psychosocial stages of development. A 10-year old child is categorized as stage 4: Elementary and Middle School Years, when the crisis is Industry vs. Inferiority. The positive outcomes, industry, is a sense of competence in learning new skills. The negative outcome would be a sense of inferiority if the child is unable to find success in learning new skills

Which of the following strategies most directly leads to increased academic performance? Scheduling daily time for students to read for pleasure. Integrating socio-emotional learning in classes. Rewarding students for meeting specific objectives. Enforcing regulations regarding excessive tardiness.

Planting a bean and observing the stages of growth Watching a video about plants and drawing the bean life cycle Reading nonfiction books about plants and creating posters Visiting a science center and touring the plant exhibits

Planting a bean and observing the stages of growth Rationale: Children in the first grade are concrete learners who learn best by doing experiments and observing real events as they occur

What is the most important mode of learning for preschoolers? Reading Writing Working with Peers Play

Play

Which of the following classroom management approaches for high school students is based on Skinner's theory of operant conditioning? Creating collaborative groups for students to assist one another in learning Praising students who are on task while correcting students who are off task Providing breakfast for students to help them pay attention better in class Developing hands-on activities to promote the highest level of engagement

Praising students who are on task while correcting students who are off task - Rationale: Skinner's theory is based on operant conditioning - behavior is followed by a consequence. He would use positive reinforcement (praise) or negative reinforcement (correction) to change behavior.

A school-wide assembly has been planned during part of a high school chemistry teacher's third-period class. When the assembly is finished, there will be 15 minutes of class time left. The chemistry teacher expects that the students will be distracted when they come to class after the assembly. Which of the following would be the most appropriate way for the teacher to maximize student learning during the 15 minutes? Preparing a fun, challenging learning activity related to the chemistry topic the class is studying. Conducting a fast, in-depth chapter review in preparation for an upcoming exam. Beginning the previously planned lesson and finish it the next day. Reviewing the classroom behavior expectations and give a short quiz on the topic.

Preparing a fun, challenging learning activity related to the chemistry topic the class is studying.

Elementary students are presenting to their classmates descriptive paragraphs that they wrote. The teacher asks students to name each new descriptive work they hear and post the new words on a word wall. The primary purpose of the activity is to ____________ Use various discussion methods. Incorporate authentic learning. Stimulate higher-order thinking. Promote active engagement.

Promote active engagement

A class reads a novel about a man who returns to his homeland. The teacher extends the reading by having the students each create a family tree, research their family's homeland, model that country's traditional clothing, and share a food of that country. A primary benefit of including the project in the curriculum is that it: Promotes acceptance of and respect for students' diverse backgrounds. Adapts materials and instruction to address students' varied learning styles. Communicates the teacher's enthusiasm and high academic expectations. Provides instruction that is responsive to cultural and socioeconomic differences.

Promotes acceptance of and respect for students' diverse backgrounds.

Flexible Grouping

Purposeful collaborative groups that allow teachers to match students to necessary tasks and skill levels.

During play time, a preschool teacher observes her students. The teacher notices that Michael is moving a train across the floor alone while other students are sharing action figures, attempting to make them come to life. Based on the observation, which action step should the teacher take? Contacting a school psychologist to express concern about Michael not yet reaching the cooperative stage of play typically achieved during preschool Understanding that Michael's behavior demonstrates a developmental delay while continuing to observe him during play time and in other situations requiring group interactions. Recognizing that Michael is still in the solitary stage of development while continuing to encourage him to play with others through modeling. Contacting Michael's parents to determine whether his siblings may have also demonstrated similar behaviors at that age.

Recognizing that Michael is still in the solitary stage of development while continuing to encourage him to play with others through modeling. - Rationale: The cooperative stage of play is typically reached by older preschool students. Therefore, the teacher should not be overly concerned about Michael's ability to interact with other children at the time of observation.

Baird sets up activities and learning centers in her first-grade classroom to encourage socialization, cooperation and sharing among the students. Which statement describes the reason she is creating these opportunities? Students at this stage will benefit from these types of relationships based on teacher interventions Students at this stage will form short-term relationships Students at this stage will make friends solely by chance Students at this stage will form friendships based on common play interests and interactions

Students at this stage will form friendships based on common play interests and interactions - Rationale: Primary children's friendships are based more on convenience and play interest than on chance or luck, as they were in the preschool years.

Behaviorism

believe that learning is a change in behavior cause by an external stimulus. The theory states that rewarding someone for a particular behavior encourages them to behave in the same way in a similar situation

Transparent learning for students

The process of making sure that students participate in the differentiation to develop confident, and self-disciplined learners. Students should be aware of their learning preferences and various strategies to implement to be able to demonstrate mastery.

Individualized Instruction

The process of tailoring your lessons to meet specific needs of individual students. Should take into account student readiness, student interests, and student learning preferences.

Effective Feedback

The process of teachers responding to student performance. Must be timely, should not be critical, judgmental or harsh. Should be brief and to the point while being geared to help students improve.

A first-year high school math teacher observes an experienced teacher. This experienced teacher is known for encouraging mathematics exploration by engaging students through active class discussions and mathematics modeling. Which of the following observations is indicative of students actively engaged in mathematics discussions and modeling? The teacher is working one-on-one with students and canvassing the classroom while students engage in a task. The teacher is questioning and validating the answers of students who are on task. The students are working in separate groups on different parts of the same topic and then presenting information to the entire class. The students are observing while the teacher explores a topic and reaching conclusions based on their prior knowledge.

The students are working in separate groups on different parts of the same topic and then presenting information to the entire class.

Respectful Tasks

These assignments recognize and honor students' learning differences, while being appropriate and fair. It is recommended that teachers keep a list of standard games/activities that appeal to your students.

Planned implementation of feedback

This is the process of providing students with TIME to implement suggestions offered by the teacher.

Tiered Instruction

This strategy allows the teacher to categorize every aspect of the lesson into one of three tiers. This strategy requires teachers to identify the skills and concepts of the lesson and group students into 3 groups based on their knowledge of the concept: struggling students, students who may just need practice, and advanced students.

Bloom's Taxonomy is an important framework for teachers to use to focus on reaching higher level thinking

True

By providing a hierarchy of levels, this taxonomy can assist teachers in designing performance tasks, crafting questions for conferring with students, and providing feedback on student work.

True

Student Reflection

When students can think about strategies that work best for them, they are more likely to remain engaged and it helps them to understand the purpose of their work. This process may not come naturally for students and must be modeled to demonstrate the type of thought that is expected.

advanced organizer

a method of linking new information to old information to support our brain in retaining the information. The advanced organizer tells the students where we are going with the learning from yesterday to today, so they see the big picture and purpose.

Non-linguistic representation

a visual support aid. It is usually a picture that gives meaning to the language.

cooperative learning

an instructional model that uses organized small groups of students to sit together to learn, share, and engage with each other in skill development

B.F. Skinner (1904-1990)

based on his theory is an operant conditioning - a behavior followed by a consequence. This process tries to modify behavior using positive and negative reinforcement so that the person makes an association between a particular behavior and a consequence

Discovered all children's intellectual development progressed through 4 stages (Piaget's Stage Theory of Cognitive Development) -Sensorimotor Stage (Birth - 2 yrs): develop understanding of the world through 5 senses & muscles -Preoperational Stage (2-7 yrs): Develop an understanding through language & images. Learning through actions, thoughts & feelings. Egocentrism, no logical thinking. -Concrete Operational (7-12 yrs): can think logically & empathetically, but still learn best through experience. Begin to understand patterns, other people's feelings & points of view. -Formal Operations (13-Adult): develop understanding using abstract thinking. See & understand different perspectives & imagine hypothetical situations/scenarios. Use logic, deductive reasoning, comparison & classification.

Humanism

If no trust, child develops insecurity, worthlessness & general mistrust of the world -18mos-3yrs (Autonomy vs. Shame): child builds self-esteem & autonomy as new skills, right from wrong, are learned. Well-cared-for child is sure of himself, carries himself w/pride. Sometimes can feel shame & low self-esteem during an inability to learn a certain skill -4-6yo (Initiative vs. Guilt): desire to copy adults around and act out roles in play situations. Begin to use the word "why". Most significant relationship is w/the family -7-12yo (Industry vs. Inferiority): learns new skills & knowledge, develops a sense of industry. can attain sense of self-confidence, may have unresolved feelings of inadequacy & inferiority. Learns to think about others. Most significant relationship w/school & neighborhood -Adolescents: 13-17yo (Identity vs. Role Confusion): development depends upon what a person does. Must struggle to discover & find own identity & "fit in" Unsuccessful adolescents tend to experience role confusion & upheaval. Develop strong affiliation & devotion to ideals, causes & friends. -Young Adulthood: 18-35yo (Intimacy and Solidarity vs. Isolation - Love): seek companionship & love. Young adults seek deep intimacy & satisfying relationships -Middle Adulthood: 35-55 or 65yo (Generativity vs. Self-absorption or Stagnation): Career & work most important along w/family. Attempt to produce something that makes a difference in society. Inactivity & meaninglessness common fears. May struggle w/finding purpose. Significant relationships are w/in family, workplace, local church & other communities -Late Adulthood: 55 or 65 until death (Integrity vs. Despair): reflect on their lives, some have led meaningful life & feel they have contributed to society (integrity), while other have feelings of despair as they reflect on their failures & wonder if life was "worth it"
