Current  and  Effec-ve  Teaching  Strategies  across  the  Curriculum  

Bulkley  Valley  May  3rd,  2012  Faye  Brownlie

Learning  Inten-ons  

•  I  can  iden-fy  ‘what  counts’  in  different  teaching  sequences  

•  I  have  a  plan  to  implement  a  strategy  that  is  new  to  me  and  to  my  students  

•  I  have  a  plan  to  con-nue  to  ask  the  ques-ons,  ”How  is  what  I  am  doing  suppor-ng  the  learning  of  all  my  students?”  and  “How  do  I  know?”  

Page 3: Bulkey.may.12

People  Search  

•  New  rules!  

•  Choose  1  box  you’d  like  to  answer  yourself  •  Hear  stories  from  no  more  than  2  at  your  table  

•  Talk  with  at  least  2  others  from  other  tables,  with  one  of  them  NOT  being  at  your  grade/subject  level

Universal Design for Learning Mul-ple  means:  -­‐to  tap  into  background  knowledge,  to  ac-vate  prior  knowledge,  to  increase  engagement  and  mo-va-on  (connec-ng)  

-­‐to  acquire  the  informa-on  and  knowledge  to  process  new  ideas  and  informa-on  (processing)  

-­‐to  express  what  they  know  (transforming/personalizing).                        Rose  &  Meyer,  2002  

Page 5: Bulkey.may.12

Backwards Design •  What  important  ideas  and  enduring  understandings  do  you  want  the  students  to  know?  

•  What  thinking  strategies  will  students  need  to  demonstrate  these  understandings?    

                 McTighe  &  Wiggins,  2001  

Page 6: Bulkey.may.12

1. Learning Intentions “Students  can  reach  any  target  as  long        as  it  holds  s-ll  for  them.”    -­‐  S-ggins  -­‐  

2. Criteria

 Work  with  learners  to  develop  criteria  so  they  know  what  quality  looks  like.  

3. Questions  Increase  quality  ques-ons  to        show  evidence  of  learning  

Page 7: Bulkey.may.12

4.  Descrip+ve  Feedback  Timely,  relevant    descrip-ve  feedback  contributes  most    powerfully  to  student  learning!  

5. Self & Peer Assessment Involve  learners  more  in  self  &  peer  assessment

6. Ownership Have  students  communicate    

their  learning  with  others

Page 8: Bulkey.may.12

Goal: develop and apply mathematical language

•  Sit  back  to  back  with  a  partner  •  Partner  A  observes  the  diagram  and  describes  it  to  partner  B  

•  Partner  B  draws  what  he  hears  Partner  A  describing  

•  Reflect:    what  worked  in  the  partnership?    What  didn’t?    How  can  it  be  improved?  

Page 9: Bulkey.may.12
Page 10: Bulkey.may.12

Inuit  Study  

•  Now  try  the  same  strategy  with  content.  

•  Back  to  back  drawing.  •  Aber  each  sketch,  check  out  the  image  and  write  a  one  sentence  synthesis  of  what  is  important  –  or  generate  5-­‐8  key  phrases  describing  the  picture.  

•  Students  walk  through  the  ‘gallery’  and  observe  the  other  pictures  and  statements/phrases.  

•  Students  web  what  they  now  know.

Intro  to  Circula-on  –  Gr.  12  Biology  Natalie  Burns,  Burnaby  Central    

The  Challenge:    –  A  hook    

–  More  discussion  

–  Thinking  more  deeply  about  the  content  

 –  Building  community  in  the  classroom    

Page 13: Bulkey.may.12

First  Class  –  80  minutes  

•    I  wonder  pictures    •    Big  idea  –  circula-on    •    2  minute  quick  write  –  what  I  remember    •    20  min.  –  alone  or  with  a  partner,  terms  –  heart,  blood,  

arteries,  veins,  capillaries,  immune  system,  circulatory  disorders  –  then  mindmap    

•    Connect  to  heart  image    •    10  min.  –  lecture,  3  slides    •    15  min.  -­‐-­‐-­‐  essen-al  ques-ons  –  in  groups,  discuss  each    •    Class  discussion  on  essen-al  ques-ons    •    Exit  slip  –  1  thing  I  remembered,  2  things  I  am  excited  to  

learn

What  do  you  know  about  the  circulatory  system?  

Page 18: Bulkey.may.12

Circula+on:  An  Overview  BCircula-on:  An  Overview  •Blood  vessels  transport  blood  around  the  body  -­‐Arteries  carry  blood  away  from  the  heart  -­‐Veins  carry  blood  to  the  heart  -­‐Capillaries  allow  for  gas,  nutrient  and  waste  exchange  between    blood  cells  and  body  cells  • ood  vessels  transport  blood  around  the  body  -   Arteries  carry  blood  away  from  the  heart  

-   Veins  carry  blood  towards  the  heart  -   Capillaries  allow  for  gas,  nutrient  &  waste  exchange  between  blood  cells  and  body  cells  

Page 19: Bulkey.may.12

•  The  heart  is  responsible  for  pumping  blood  throughout  your  whole  body  

-­‐There  are  chambers  to  separate  oxygenated  and  deoxygenated  blood    

-­‐The  right  side  of  the  heart  pumps  blood  to  the  lungs  and  the  leb  side  of  the  heart  pumps  blood  throughout  the  body  

Page 20: Bulkey.may.12

•  Blood  is  made  up  of  more  than  just  red  stuff!    

-­‐Most  of  blood  is  plasma  (liquid)  

-­‐White  blood  cells  help  our  immune  system  by  figh-ng  diseases  

-­‐Platelets  allow  our  blood  to  clot  

-­‐Red  blood  cells  carry  O2  &  nutrients  to  cells,  and  CO2  &  waste  away  from  cells  

Page 21: Bulkey.may.12

3  Essen-al  Ques-ons  

1.  How  cri-cal  is  a  heart  to  the  life  of  an  organism?    

2.   How  do  the  differences  between  arteries  and  veins  affect  their  jobs  and  their  loca-on?    

3. Why  must  blood  always  be  flowing?

Every  learner  will  realize  their  full  poten-al  and  contribute  to  the  well-­‐

being  of  our  province.    To  move  our  educa-on  system  from  good  to  great,  the  Plan  has  five  key  elements:    

1)  Personalized  learning  for  every  student    2)   Quality  teaching  and  learning  3)   Flexibility  and  choice  4)  High  standards    5)  Learning  empowered  by  technology
