Reclaiming Relationships
Instructional skills refer to specific instructional actions of teachers that enhance learning, and in combination, help to generate a powerful repertoire of instructional strategies.
- Student engagement - Feedback - Meaningful conversation - Questioning
Instructional skills
How do you engage or motivate students? How do you deal with a class with a wide
range of skills?
Student engagement
What questioning techniques/strategies do you use in your classroom?
Questioning
Curriculum goals and learning outcomes clearly identify what students will know and understand, be able to do and be like as a result of their learning experience. Indicators for each learning outcome describe the criteria for success. Value-added assessments and formative assessments provide ongoing feedback to monitor student progress, inform instruction and guide students in learning.
- Curriculum outcomes and indicators - Assessment
Curriculum content
How do you use curricular outcomes to develop unit and lesson plans?
How do assessment, instruction and intervention connect to one another?
Curriculum outcomes and indicators
Can you give me examples of how you have identified areas of student performance?
How do you use data for assessment purposes?
Assessment
The various teaching strategies and activities that provide plans for addressing three key teacher questions:
What kind of structure will help students learn the intended outcomes?
What role will the teacher play in achieving this purpose?
What role will students play in achieving this purpose? The structure, roles and script work like an open-ended
script to support teachers and students in moving through a sequence of steps or a series of related concepts toward learning goals. They are open to teachers’ adaptive expertise and improvisation in pursuit of particular learning outcomes.
Instructional repertoire
Authentic Tasks: Students actively engage in learning and exploring of content through relevant, rich and open-ended tasks to achieve outcomes
Adaptive Dimension: makes adjustments to accommodate diversity in student learning
Assessments For/As/Of Learning: Use a variety of assessment processes and tools continuously for the purpose of making instructional decisions, to provide feedback to learners, and for reporting purposes
Explicit Instruction: Model and explain concepts/strategies, and check for understanding in response to individual learners’ needs, preferences and interests
Differentiated Practice: Content is being differentiated by interest, the process is being differentiated by readiness (complexity of thinking skills required) and the product is being differentiated by student learning preference and environment
Instructional Repertoire
Inquiry Learning: A student centered, instructional model developing content area knowledge and skill. It is an extended task that promotes student inquiry and authentic demonstrations of learning
Cooperative Learning: To have students actively involved in their learning by grouping students in pairs and small groups. i.e. Reciprocal teaching – students become the teacher, Jigsaw, Think-Pair-Share
Concept Attainment: To help students think about related concept to help make meaning, own it; to think and be creative with it
Graphic Organizers: Help students think about, visualize, and arrange their knowledge. i.e.
concept maps, sequencing activities, classroom charts – T charts and Venn Diagrams
Interview Question: - Talk about instructional strategies you have used.
What are your greatest strengths? What do you think will be the most challenging aspect of
teaching? How do you use technology in the classroom? How do you communicate to parents? If a parent came to you with a concern, how would you handle
that? What extra-curricular activities do you want to get involved
in? What experience do you have with collaboration? Last word?
