Common Core State Standards and Differentiated InstructionKatie McKnight
ย
This document discusses how to integrate Common Core State Standards with differentiated instruction. It begins with an agenda that outlines exploring what is known about CCSS, why they were created and their impact, and how differentiated instruction can meet CCSS expectations. A key point is that CCSS focus on developing 21st century skills like problem solving and critical thinking through rigorous and relevant standards. The document emphasizes that CCSS do not prescribe specific strategies and supports for diverse learners are still needed. It also examines how differentiated instruction can help address increased textual complexity and developing literacy across subjects as required by CCSS.
1. The document discusses transitioning to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), including what is already known about CCSS, why they were created, and how they impact classrooms.
2. CCSS are intended to create greater consistency in student performance and expectations among states and prepare students for college and careers.
3. A major focus is on developing literacy skills across all content areas and using increasingly complex texts. Factors like qualitative measures, quantitative dimensions, and reader considerations determine the complexity of texts.
4. The presentation models how to examine CCSS and assess alignment with curriculum through close reading of standards and group analysis activities. Strategies to support literacy
This document discusses strategies for helping reluctant readers. It shows that minority students and those in lower grades struggle most with reading proficiency. Differentiation strategies are recommended like allowing extra time or using audio books. Getting books into students' hands is important, with choices that have appealing covers, characters, and plots. Reluctant readers prefer books with role models, problem solving, and realistic themes. Providing choice and discussing books can help motivate reluctant readers.
Literature circles involve students choosing their own reading materials and meeting regularly in small groups to discuss what they read. The teacher's role is as a facilitator rather than leader of discussions. Consistent elements of literature circles include student choice of texts, formation of temporary groups, regular group meetings, use of notes to guide discussions, and mini lessons led by the teacher before and after meetings. Assessment is typically through teacher observation and student self-evaluation.
This document discusses strategies for effective homework and studying. It recommends that teachers [1] teach students time management and prioritization, [2] provide note-taking frameworks like Cornell notes, and [3] emphasize vocabulary by having students research word origins. Examples of graphic organizers are provided to help students organize concepts. The use of technology like blogs and photo editing apps is also encouraged to motivate students. Overall, the document stresses making homework independently practice-focused to reinforce classroom learning.
This document discusses strategies for teaching content area literacy. It begins by defining content literacy as using reading and writing skills to acquire new knowledge in a subject area. Several prereading strategies are described to activate students' prior knowledge, like anticipation guides and vocabulary exercises. The impact of schema, or background knowledge, on comprehension is explained. Tips are provided for struggling readers and an overview of the components of reading. Sample reading activities like KWL charts, SQ3R, and story impressions are outlined. The document concludes with recommendations for using textbooks and resources for further information.
This document discusses using literacy centers for content areas like mathematics, social studies, and science. It introduces centers as an instructional tool and examines various content-focused center ideas. It also discusses assessment strategies for centers. Some center examples provided include vocabulary activities like concept sorts, concept maps, and word detectives. Sample reading strategies presented are KWL, DRTA, sketch-through-text, stop-and-write, and inquiry charts. Visual aids like graphic organizers are also mentioned as supports for comprehension.
GCE: Strategies to Enhance Student Engagement and Boost AchievementKatie McKnight
ย
This document summarizes strategies to enhance student engagement and boost achievement presented at a professional development day. It discusses:
1. Literacy strategies that support developing reading and writing skills to understand content, and technology tools that support effective teaching and learning of content.

Using Homework to Promote Critical ThinkingKatie McKnight
ย
This document provides teachers with strategies for assigning homework that encourages students to think critically. It recommends teaching students time management and prioritization skills. Specific strategies discussed include using graphic organizers like concept maps for vocabulary and notes. The document also suggests assigning creative homework like creating slideshows or fake social media pages to motivate students. It reminds teachers that homework should allow independent practice and not introduce new content, while utilizing technology when possible.
The document discusses the challenges of using textbooks in the classroom. Textbooks are often difficult for students to read due to superficial content, authoritarian tone, and poor design. The author provides six strategies for using textbooks more effectively: having empathy for students' struggles, front-loading instruction, not leaving students alone with textbooks, being selective in assignments, supplementing textbooks richly, and analyzing textbook features. The document concludes by encouraging teachers to consider the role of textbooks in teaching and how to promote critical thinking through textbook use.
Teaching the Classics in the Inclusive Classroom.mcknightKatie McKnight
