#DAPP162 Session 3: Designing for learning & learning theoriesChrissi Nerantzi
This document discusses various learning theories and their application to teaching practice. It begins by outlining three main theories of teaching in higher education: teaching as telling, teaching as organizing student activity, and teaching as making learning possible through cooperative and self-directed learning. Groups then studied theories of behaviorism, cognitivism, socio-constructivism, connectionism, and connectivism and created posters to highlight the key aspects of each. The document emphasizes applying theory to practice and constructing teaching methods, learning activities, and assessments to align with intended learning outcomes.
Unprecedented educational changes led to efforts to fundamentally change teaching practices to better serve diverse learners. PGMS adopted school-wide goals focused on interdisciplinary instruction, critical thinking, writing, engagement, vocabulary, and technology integration. Implementing these goals and UDL principles required balancing initiatives while raising standards and closing achievement gaps. Some teachers resisted changes, seeing them as extra work, but advocates shared successes to increase buy-in for inclusive practices to meet all students' needs.

Merrill’s first principles of instructionIvan Aguilar
The document describes using Merrill's first principles of instruction to design teacher training sessions. It outlines how each principle can be applied to a sample training plan on using verbal persuasive strategies to deal with classroom discipline problems. The principles are: 1) defining the problem as a real-world task, 2) activating prior knowledge, 3) demonstrating new strategies, 4) applying strategies through role plays, and 5) integrating the new knowledge into how teachers would respond to original discipline examples. Participant feedback and conclusions about applying the principles are also discussed.
This document outlines a teaching philosophy that emphasizes clear communication of concepts through multiple examples of increasing complexity. The teacher should be available and enthusiastic, giving homework that challenges students and then reviewing it in class. An exemplary teacher exhibits intellectual excitement, technical expertise, organization, clear communication, engaging presentation, rapport with students, and interest in students' individual learning and preferences. Developing a teaching philosophy statement helps the teacher stay focused, develop a dialogue with leaders, and helps students understand their role as learners. The statement should be reflective, unique to the individual teacher, and describe how they teach, motivate learning, and assess effectiveness.
This document outlines a teaching philosophy that emphasizes clear explanations of concepts, worked examples, and homework that challenges students while building on material covered in class. It also stresses enthusiasm, organization, effective communication, engaging presentation styles, and building rapport and interest in individual students. Developing a teaching philosophy statement is recommended to focus one's teaching approach, facilitate dialogue with leaders, and help students understand their role in learning. The statement should be reflective, unique to the individual, and describe how one teaches, assesses effectiveness, and plans to grow as an educator.
This document outlines the process and stages of teacher inquiry (jugyou kenkyuu) where groups of teachers work together to plan, execute, and evaluate lessons. The stages include:
1. Planning - Teachers define a problem or theme, make a comprehensive lesson plan that incorporates curriculum priorities, and discuss potential issues or changes.
2. Implementation - One teacher implements the experimental lesson while others observe and collect data on different aspects like classroom management, student-teacher interaction, and the overall learning process.
3. Reflection - After the lesson, teachers meet to share observations, reflect on and evaluate the lesson plan and its implementation, examining elements like the theme, materials, instructional methods, and teacher

The models are combined to guide teachers in connecting both content and students through their instructional practice.
The document discusses the three stages of the design process: 1) Identify desired results, 2) Determine acceptable evidence, and 3) Plan learning experiences and instruction. It also lists six common entry points to begin the design process, such as beginning with content standards, real-world applications, a key resource, important skill, key assessment, or existing unit.
Inclusion and differentiation in the classroomDavid Drake
This document discusses strategies for differentiation and inclusion in the classroom. It explains that differentiation is meeting students' individual needs through appropriate teaching methods within a group setting. It recommends using a mix of mastery tasks, which all students can achieve, and developmental tasks, which stretch higher-ability students. Mastery tasks involve knowledge and comprehension, can be achieved quickly, and ensure all students experience success. Developmental tasks are more difficult and dependent on prior learning. The document provides examples of each and suggests breaking down complex tasks into scaffolded steps using Bloom's Taxonomy as a learning ladder. It also discusses strategies for supporting student writing, such as writing frames, and ways to improve inclusion, such as using a variety of questioning techniques

The Seven Rʼs of a Quality Curriculum
Ron Ritchhart
Project Zero, Harvard Graduate School of Education
To teach for understanding, teachers must be able to identify the big
ideas of their subject and know what it is they truly want students to
understand. They also must engage students in understanding
performances, that is, opportunities for actively building personal
understanding, and provide meaningful feedback on learning as it
unfolds. It is at this intersection of big ideas, understanding goals,
performances, and assessment feedback that curriculum lives, in what I
call the enacted curriculum.
Over the past fifteen years I have worked with teachers exploring the
enacted curriculum of understanding. During that time I’ve had the
opportunity to reflect on the qualities that make an activity, a unit, a
curriculum something that effectively engages students in developing a
deeper understanding. Seven common criteria emerge: rigorous,
rewarding, real, requires independence, rich in thinking, revealing, and
reflective. I present these here as guidelines for the planning, enacting,
and evaluating of a curriculum focused on understanding.
Ritchhart (2007) Education Quarterly Australia

Rigorous
What does it mean for a curriculum itself to be rigorous? For a task or a
lesson? Rather than think of difficulty, I think in terms of affordances. A
rigorous curriculum embodies and affords students opportunities to
develop a deeper understanding and not just show what they already
know. Too often curricula state carefully defined objectives that put an
unintentional cap on students’ understanding and obscure the big ideas of
the discipline, leading to superficial coverage. A rigorous curriculum
must point the direction for learning but be open enough to extend
students’ understanding beyond a minimal outcome.
When I look at an activity a class is to do, I ask myself, “How can
students further their learning of big disciplinary ideas through this task?
How does this task launch the learning but avoid truncating it?” I also
ask myself if students can do a particular task without understanding, by
merely walking through the steps or repeating back information. If so,
that performance doesn’t offer the rigor of understanding.
Real
Disciplinary learning can be thought of as a process by which individuals
gradually increase their participation in communities of practice. As
such, a curriculum that builds understanding must look to engage
students in authentic disciplinary activities so that students’ classroom
activities mirror the real work of adults in the field. Rather than learning
about math, science, writing, history, and so on, students must become
mathematicians, scientists, authors, and historians to build true
disciplinary understanding. When a topic is assigned to a curriculum, we
need to ask: When, where, and ho.
This document provides guidance on how to write an effective teaching statement. It begins by outlining key elements to include such as learning objectives, concrete examples of teaching methods, challenges faced and how they were addressed, and student evaluations. It also recommends connecting teaching to research. The document then provides sample teaching statements from various disciplines like biology, foreign languages, history and psychology that demonstrate these elements. Finally, it discusses recent research on how students learn best through active inquiry, experiential learning, collaboration and dialogue.
The backward design model comprises three stages:
I. Identify desired results
II. Determine acceptable evidence
III. Plan learning experiences and instruction. Once desired results and evidence are determined, a lesson plan can be developed to help students reach the objectives. Wiggins and McTighe's "WHERE" approach is used in planning instruction and experiences.
The document discusses contextualizing online assignments by explicitly telling students the purpose and relevance of assignments. It argues this is important for student motivation, understanding, and learning strategy use. Currently, assignments often lack explicit contextualization and make assumptions about student background. The document provides examples of contextualization and references models for integrated unit planning that embed the "why" of assignments.
Competency based instructional strategies.pptx (2).pdfArnaldo Perez
This document provides an overview of a workshop on competency-based teaching strategies. It discusses key concepts like defining competencies, competency-based education and learning. It also covers strategies like inquiry-based learning using the 5E model, problem-based learning, instructional scaffolding, and differentiated instruction. Participants are given examples and activities to apply these strategies and assess their learning through a multiple choice quiz at the end.
This document outlines a professional development session for teachers on implementing changes to the teaching of mathematics at RPPS. It introduces the "Mathematician's Model" which involves dividing math lessons into four "toolbox lessons" focusing on developing problem solving strategies and mental math skills, and two "Be a Mathematician" lessons using rich, open-ended tasks. Examples of effective rich tasks are provided, emphasizing that they should be problem-based, inquiry-driven, collaborative, and engage students through hands-on experiences. The session celebrates mathematicians as role models and quotes Paul Halmos emphasizing experimentation and problem-solving over memorization of facts.
The document discusses several cases related to teaching for understanding:
1. A teacher chooses To Kill a Mockingbird and plans cooperative group work and an essay assessment.
2. A student teacher asks students an open-ended question that gets no response, showing a lack of understanding.
3. A student compares Catcher in the Rye to Bill and Ted in their essay, rather than discussing the novel's big ideas.
It emphasizes the importance of essential questions that promote inquiry, transfer of learning, and understanding of big ideas rather than simple coverage of content.
The document provides guidance for teaching assistants on teaching principles, learning styles, developing instruction, ethics, and handling challenging situations. It discusses pedagogy vs andragogy, adult learning principles, learning preferences using VARK, creating learning objectives and activities, evaluation methods, and ethics. Examples of challenging situations are presented as case studies for discussion.
This document discusses integrating technology into teaching and lesson planning. It covers curriculum, instruction, assessment, and using technology in the classroom. Key points include:
- Curriculum includes content standards, planned learning experiences, and instructional processes.
- Effective instruction involves setting learning objectives, selecting activities and materials, and assessing student learning.
- Assessment determines if objectives were met and guides future instruction. Reflection on lessons helps improve teaching.
- Technology can be used as a tutor, for exploration, as a tool, and for communication. Teachers decide how and when to integrate it based on its educational value and impact on student learning.
This document summarizes a presentation about approaches to assessment in education. It discusses using learning intentions and success criteria to provide clear goals for students. Formative assessment strategies are outlined, including activities to elicit evidence of learning, providing feedback to move learning forward, peer assessment, and fostering student ownership. The gradual release of responsibility model is presented as an instructional approach. Throughout, the focus is on using assessment to understand students and inform instruction, not for assigning marks. The overall message is that thoughtful assessment is essential for effective teaching and learning.
This document discusses effective educational practices and benchmarks for quality teaching and learning. It outlines five national benchmarks: academic challenge, student interaction with faculty, active and collaborative learning, enriching experiences, and supportive campus environment. It also discusses seven principles for good practice: contact between students and faculty, reciprocity among students, active learning, prompt feedback, emphasizing time on task, communicating high expectations, and respecting diverse talents. Resources are provided for implementing these principles effectively in the classroom.
Here are the key events in the stanza:
- The soldier is introduced as a 'simple soldier boy'
- He grinned at life in empty joy, suggesting he found happiness even though it was superficial
- He slept soundly through the lonesome dark
- He whistled early with the lark
This shows he was keeping cheerful despite the difficult conditions, finding simple pleasures like whistling.

The document discusses instructional planning models and their importance for school districts. It defines instructional planning models as frameworks that guide curriculum, instruction, assessment, and school organization to increase student achievement. The document reviews several specific models, including Understanding by Design (UBD), Dimensions of Learning (DOL), and Learning Focused Schools (LFS). It discusses establishing a committee to review models and determine the best approach for the Methacton School District.
The document discusses integrative learning, which involves making connections among concepts, experiences, and skills and applying them to new situations. It provides background on integrative learning, outlining its principles and stages. Potential challenges for implementing integrative learning are addressed, as are approaches for assessing integrative learning outcomes, such as through reflective portfolios, presentations, and rubrics. Assessment aims to evaluate students' abilities to complete tasks and apply knowledge from multiple areas.

During my years of tutoring and teaching, I‟ve learned
that there is no such thing as “obvious” in mathematics. Each
student learns in his or her own unique way, and it takes a
patient, creative instructor to motivate and educate an entire
class, whether it is populated by budding mathematicians or
students trying to satisfy a general education requirement. In the
classroom, I try to illustrate key points using
geometric, algebraic, and quantitative reasoning, and my
lecturing is broken up by applied problems and projects that
students work on in a small group environment. I view an
instructor‟s role outside of class to be just as important as his or
her role in class. I hold as many as ten office hours a week in
order to fill in students‟ gaps in both current material and course
prerequisites, and I also encourage students to come to my
office to discuss challenge problems.

My teaching philosophy is reflective of my overall
commitment to social justice and change through
education. As a facilitator in the learning process, I pay
attention to classroom dynamics and seek to create a
supportive environment for students, within which they feel
safe taking risks and making mistakes. Similarly, I see my
own role not as infallible expert, but as someone engaged
in reciprocal learning and dialogue with students. Within
the classroom, I actively involve students in experiential
application of sociological concepts and theories.

Which of these do you feel is your primary role as
an educator?

subject
B) Helping students develop basic learning skills

D) Preparing students for jobs/careers
E) Being a role model for students
Writing a Successful Teaching Statement
17. General Guidelines
17 cft.vanderbilt.edu/teaching-guides/reflecting/teaching-statements/
Make your Teaching Statement brief and well
written. While Teaching Statements are
probably longer at the tenure level (i.e. 3-5
pages or more), for hiring purposes they are
typically 1-2 pages in length.
Use narrative, first-person approach. This
allows the Teaching Statement to be both
personal and reflective.
Be sincere and unique. Avoid clichés,
especially ones about how much passion you
have for teaching.
Writing a Successful Teaching Statement
18. General Guidelines
18 cft.vanderbilt.edu/teaching-guides/reflecting/teaching-statements/
Make it specific rather than abstract. Ground
your ideas in 1-2 concrete examples, whether
experienced or anticipated. This will help the
reader to better visualize you in the classroom.
Be discipline specific. Do not ignore your
research. Explain how you advance your field
through teaching.
Avoid jargon and technical terms, as they can
be off-putting to some readers.
Writing a Successful Teaching Statement
19. General Guidelines
19 cft.vanderbilt.edu/teaching-guides/reflecting/teaching-statements/
Try not to simply repeat what is in your CV.
Teaching Statements are not exhaustive
documents and should be used to complement
other materials for the hiring or tenure
processes.
Be humble. Mention students in an
enthusiastic, not condescending way, and
illustrate your willingness to learn from your
students and colleagues.
Revise. Teaching is an evolving, reflective
process, and Teaching Statements can be

You need a kick a** opening paragraph!
What distinguishes you from everyone else

Why will the hiring committee remember your

Imagine the hiring committee only reads the 1st
paragraph carefully and skims the rest. Hit „em

the concluding paragraph.
It‟s okay to spend extra (way too much) time on

When they ask you what something means, it
forces you to think carefully and concisely about
the concept.
