Start by knowing your subject
We are CTE teachers and “lived” it
*This is content knowledge
Know your students: Survey
Their age (9th – 12 grade) Motivation- Maslow How do they learn – lecture, hands on, collaboration,
cooperative learning, multiple intelligence (Gardner) Back ground knowledge – work, experience,
previous classes, interests, family Levels of performance – Special needs –support personnel, reading
specialists
Instructional Outcomes Looking at the MCCTE Navigator, organize your class according
to 12 segments
Is it a one year or two year course
Then, decide how/when the segments shall be taught-what are the outcomes you expect
Make sure that the sequence of segments and standards flow – there is a flow to instruction – where knowledge is built
Make sure you provide academic support using teaching skills– reading
What if you students do not have grade level reading?
Challenge academic achievement while continuing to assure individual student success
Knowledge of Resources(and use of added-cost)
For the classroom-technology, supplies, texts
From the community-field trips, speakers, advisory board
All to expand student knowledgeOther CTE teachers
The Lesson - the key is good planning
What is your objective(s) for the day? –what do you expect them to take from the lesson –and how will you know that they “got it”?
Think about how you will deliver the lesson – lecture, demonstration, project based, student driven
Get constant feedback from the students – monitor for understanding (most important)
What activities will you have students perform?
What materials will you need to assist your demonstration and the students time on task
Are you going to have students work in teams?
Flipped classroom
Assessments
The big question…..how do you know that they are learning?
Does what they learned meet with your objectives and outcomes?
How will you assess them – daily, weekly, each unit, and reflection from past units (connectivity)
Critical Thinking –very important – higher order thinking – giving real world
Types of Assessments
Cooperative learning; Think, Pair, Share
Quiz
Authentic assessment-hands on
Question and answer
Real World problem solving in groups
“I Learned” statements
Written Reflection-Most important point you learned and what was not clear
The Classroom Environment
Respect and Rapport begins with the teacher Interaction between students-be aware Be positive Be Firm, Fair and Consistent Plan well – DO NOT “WING IT” Most students want someone that will listen to them
Establishing a learning environment
It is very important to have a well managed classroom:
Classroom rules
Organized – seating chart
Lesson planning
On time
The teacher and mentor
Classroom expectations for learning and work–student pride
Importance for learning and achievement
Things to consider in a well managed classroom
Time for attendance/Time for lesson/ time for student practice
Supplies
Transitions – “breaks”
Furniture arrangement
Keep students actively engaged- 1 hour, 2 hour, and 2.5 hour
Supervision of para-pros
Substitutes-leaving detailed plans
Assemblies-supervision
Student Behavior
Expectations –rules /classroom/ school wide
Safety is Important
Monitoring behavior – classroom, lab, throughout the building – fire drills, lockdowns, tornados
What to do when students misbehave? Without stopping your instruction - move close to the student, give them eye contact, call their name, remind the student what they should be doing
Make sure they know you are addressing the behavior, not about them personally
Refer to the rule that was broken
Student Behavior –what to do
Talk with other teachers and counselor about the student Call the parent at the start of the school year Talk with an administrator Consequences -Detention Referral to administrator (continuous disruption) Parent conference EPT meeting – at your request Other referral to administrator: fighting,
possession/selling of drugs, stealing
Communicating with students
Directions given- written and oral -may need to repeat Use of webpages Syllabus/outline Agenda on board – monthly calendar How to start a new unit/topic – relate to something
they may know –”SET” Explain the objective of what they are about to learn –
the why
Engaging our students
They are in your class, for the most part, because they have an interest in the subject.
Pacing your lesson -
What activities will you use?
Student interests?
Group work and engagement in projects
SPEAKERS and Field trips-Don't forget to use your advisory committee
Assessment in Instruction
Assessment criteria – your segments and standards – National Tests
What type of assessments – do not have to be paper and pencil
Feedback to students-talk with them about what hey need to work on to improve
Pre-tests/post tests Student self assessment and monitoring Students should be held accountable for their work
So they did not understand your well thought our lesson – what next
Good teaching always involves reflection – what you did well and what you can do differently within your lesson
Monitor, then adjustBuild confidence
Professionalism
Record keeping – attendance, grades, student assignments and tests
Student improvement and progressAttitude in staff meetings and lunch;
around staff, students30 hours of PD each year
Communicating with parents
Academic, attendance, attitude, behaviorOpen HouseAdvisory meetingsEmails, automated phone calls
The Professional Relationship School wide activities like AdvancED/NCA School Improvement (40
SCECH’s)
Student activities outside of the classroom
Chaperones
Continue to learn about you subject, your former profession;
Get feedback from your peers
Get feedback from our administrators
Join ACTE and the specific organization your field represents
Professionalism each day
Integrity Service to students – Be an advocate for students and their learning Be part of the decision making of the school Follow the rules/regulations of the schools Be the role model
And Remember…It IS About The Students!
