5E MODELThe 5E model provides a structure and framework for

developing lessons that ensure student engagement and comprehension as well as the ability to utilize the skills and content learned. Through practice activities, checking for understanding and remediation, students have a greater opportunity for retention of content and skills.

  EngageExploreExplainElaborationEvaluateExplain/Evaluate and Settle

ENGAGEThe teacher focuses student learning by –

Asking questionsPresenting problemsEngaging all studentsConnecting previously learned concepts with the concepts to be learned today

 

EXPLOREThe student becomes directly

involved with the key concepts through guided exploration that requires each person to explore, inquire, question. Teachers observe and listen to the students as they interact with the lesson.

 

EXPLAINCollaborative learning teams begin

to sequence logical events/facts from the exploration phase. Students communicate with others and themselves. The teacher serves as facilitator, elaborating on the lesson. Even if the teacher lectures, there are frequent checks for understanding to have all students make connections.

ELABORATE

This stage allows students to extend and expand what they have learned in the prior stages. Connections are made with prior learning, self and the world. Check for understanding is critical during this phase.

 

EVALUATE 

Ongoing evaluation allows the instructor to determine whether the learner has attained the desired level of understanding of the key ideas and concepts. Quizzes and formal evaluation are part of this stage. Informal checks for understanding allow the teacher to quickly determine understanding.

 

EXPLAIN, EVALUATE, SETTLE

The brain needs time to reflect upon what has been learned.• Daily closure activities allow students to

produce and connect information to prior learning, self and the world.

• Allow students time away from the new content and concepts as well as physical exercise helps settle the information into the brain’s file folders for future retrieval

GNP: THE TOTAL MARKET VALUE OF ALL FINAL GOODS AND SERVICES PRODUCED BY AN ECONOMY IN A GIVEN YEAR

EXPLORE:WHY FINAL VALUE?You own a bakery and you need to buy

resources/ingredients for a cookie made of eggs, flour, etc.

Do you count the value of the goods and services:When you buy the ingredientsWhen you sell the finished productBoth of the aboveNone of the above WHY?
