Methods of Instruction. Methods of Instruction may include, but are not limited to, the following(check all that apply) 1
Methods of Instruction. Methods of Instruction Rationale Demonstrations The instructor will provide demonstrations of how to use the software that highlight the concepts covered in the chapter(s). Guided Discussions Students will provide feedback on how they will use the concepts they learn in the chapter in real life. For instance, if they learn leader tabs, this could be used for a table of contents in a report written for another class. Also, pointed questions on vocabulary will be covered in the discussions. Hands-on The only way to learn Word is to use it. Students will have exercises to complete that require them Activities/Exercisesto use the concepts learned in each chapter. Small Group Discussion Students will be given a document and then discuss with others in the group which functions in Word they should use to complete the problem. Different groups will approach this in different ways which they can share with the class. Lecture The teacher will provide lectures with demonstrations of the software. This will also include concepts such as why we only use one space after we puncuate a document, how do serif fonts prevent us from using spaces to type columns and other things like this that are part of word processing. Distance Education This class will be offered in a distance education format. Assignments Writing/Skill Building Students learn functions in MS Word to produce business documents using correct formatting, editing, and proofreading. Students create business reports, memos, letters, etc. For example: Write a letter to your colleagues explaining how to set up an AMS simplified letter style using the block style. You will be evaluated on the accuracy of the style and what you write. Outside Assignments The students read the text each week. Students also have problems to complete each week covering features of the word processing package. For example: Read Chapter 4. Complete the tab problem by setting up the proper tabs for the table of contents. You will be evaluated on the accuracy of your work.
Methods of Instruction. Heritage Academy will use a variety of methods to help our students become confident, competent, productive and responsible citizens. The Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM) will assist us in designing a program to help our students reach their potential. Through his studies of the challenging, creative lessons developed for gifted students, Xx. Xxxxxxxx became convinced that this type of learning could benefit all students. Over 20 years of research led to the development of this model to improve instruction for an entire school. SEM applies the “a-rising-tide-lifts-all- ships” theory by integrating high-end learning into the total school program. SEM consists of three interacting dimensions. The first component, The Total Talent Portfolio (TTP) involves systematically gathering information about student’s abilities, interests, and learning styles and then utilizing this information to help students set personal goals and design enrichment activities. The second component involves Curriculum Modification Techniques. A student’s mastery of specific curriculum is assessed, and when mastery is achieved students are provided with alternate activities such as group or individual projects, peer teaching, or more in-depth study of curriculum material. Curriculum Modification may also include ability grouping, so that students’ learning is based on capability. As students are assessed to determine understanding and ability, teachers will have the information they need to teach more effectively. Students who have not mastered material will also be identified so that their needs can be addressed. Teachers will be able to re-teach the material in a different way, provide extra support or practice, utilize a peer teacher or adult mentor, and/or work with these students more closely. This will help teachers identify and resolve potential problems quickly. The final component involves Enrichment Learning and Teaching. This program consists of forming Enrichment Clusters. The goal is to apply knowledge and skills to produce a product or deliver a service for a community audience. Enrichment Clusters are facilitated by teachers, parents or community resource persons who share the same interests of the students and have some degree of expertise in the subject they are facilitating. Enrichment Cluster sessions will take place at least one time during each school year. Enrichment Cluster sessions will be approximately six to twelve weeks in length. The Enrichment Clusters off...
Methods of Instruction. Presentation and demonstrations of software and hardware will be given on-site or online. Discussions will be used to support critical thinking, exploration and reinforcing students foundation knowledge. Project-based assignments will implement software tools and use the Internet for research and exploration of open-source tools and database research. Students will apply using productivity software to illustrate proper use of file management, locally and in the cloud, use appropriate software for generating documents, spreadsheets, presentations and other file types to illustrate a broad understanding of using these tools.
Methods of Instruction. The teacher will work with the multiple learning styles of their students by using interactive and multi-media content. Blackboard School Central™ will be used, which is a fully-hosted and secure learning platform. If appropriate, the student will initially receive a nationally normed placement test called the BASI, Basic Achievement Skills Inventory. This 2.5 hour computer provided test, along with measuring annual progress, will assist the teacher to determine educational placement. The teacher, with the full support of the curriculum and the curriculum coordinator, will create assignments, projects and assessments that are aligned with Idaho standards and congruent with the student’s way of learning. If the student qualifies for special education services, the special education teacher will also be a part of this process. The teacher will utilize synchronous and asynchronous tools specifically through Xxxxx’s Collaboration Suite Express which provides instant messaging, virtual classrooms, blogs and discussion boards. Teachers will be able to provide lessons that are digitally recorded, with both audio and synchronized visuals. Teachers will use observational data, such as traditional grading mechanisms and tracking data via e-mail and log in’s. They will also have access to Blackboard Grade Center™ which assists teachers to create assignments and assessments with the capacity for instant feedback. Assignments have the potential to be automatically graded and recorded in the integrated Grade Center. Parents can greatly benefit by being provided with a parent login that will provide access, in real-time, to their student’s grades, assignments, tasks, and upcoming tests, making them a vital part of their student’s education. Teachers will receive in-service training on the curriculum prior to school beginning. Additionally, they will continually develop their skills in both teaching and on-line teaching through a variety of in-service opportunities. ACVS has a relationship with two community partners Northwest Nazarene University, NNU and Boise State University, BSU. Both universities are interested and able to provide all our teachers with a variety of course work that will develop their capacity to provide on-line instruction. Additionally, teachers will be engaged in the act of direct and indirect teaching throughout the day using a variety of proven teaching techniques including: tactile, visual, kinesthetic, auditory, group, and independent approache...
Methods of Instruction. Falcon Ridge Public Charter School’s methods of instruction are based primarily on a “teach to the ceiling” philosophy with fast paced direct instruction. The Idaho State Standards are the floor. All students are encompassed in this method, and no child is left behind or left unchallenged. If a child doesn’t understand a concept at first, they will eventually master it through daily repetition, assessment, and review. The focus isn’t on when a child understands a concept, but rather that they will understand it in the end. This takes the desperation out of teaching and the anxiety out of learning. Direct instruction combined with individual student attention is the key to success at Falcon Ridge Public Charter School. Teachers will be engaged in the act of direct teaching throughout the day using a variety of proven teaching techniques including: tactile, visual, kinesthetic, auditory, group and independent approaches. By taking into account and addressing the varying developmental rates and learning modalities of the student population, it is possible through this direct-teaching and monitoring approach to keep curricula challenging and the expectations for learning high. Another unique aspect of Falcon Ridge’s character education curriculum is the dramatization and memorization of classic poems and quotes, such as “The Man in the Looking Glass”. The students learn such pieces through automaticity, and discuss the meanings and morals behind them. They develop a sense of pride as they perform them for others. The tempo for our academic program is set by student capabilities, not by textbooks. Our students will be well grounded in the basics, such as, reading, writing, math, science, health, humanities, and social studies. In addition, they will be taught fine arts, foreign language, and technology. Language Arts (English and Foreign) – The goal is to develop learners who are effective communicators, who love literature, and are lifelong readers and writers. The curriculum is literature based. Comprehensive skills, grammar and vocabulary are integrated within the literature program.
