Most teaching is based on tried and true best practices. Most teaching takes a combination of:
Talent Knowledge Skills Dispositions
Most teachers use their knowledge, skill and disposition strengths and manage around weaknesses.

Withitness: Eyes in the back of your head Overlapping: Multitask: Doing several
things at once. Least intervention: Efficiency in addressing
discipline. Fragmentation: Bumpy transitions

Transition Busters
Flip-flop: Ends an activity, begins a new activity and then goes back to original activity.
Over-dwelling: Preaching, nagging, wasting time. Fragmentation: Choppy transition Thrusts: Random thoughts. “Where’s Roberto?” Dangles: Not completing an action. “Did I tell you
about the speaker we are having?” How can you avoid transition busters?

![Page 37: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Room to set up (Page 436)– Eye to eye– Hands on supplies– Avoid Congestion Digestion– Best seat in the house– Teach to reach: Good classroom
management must be taught!
![Page 38: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Managing misbehaviors– Choice: Options (Between stimulus and
response, giving students the power to choose)
– Responsibility: Making learning meaningful– Voice: Listening: There was a reason we
have one mouth and two ears

The Pedagogical Cycle: 85%
Structure: Provides information, directions and introduces topics.
![Page 43: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Question: The teacher asks a question.
![Page 44: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Respond: The student answers a question or tries to.
![Page 45: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
React: The teacher reacts to the student’s answer and provides feedback.
![Page 46: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Questioning
“A good question will get you half way to the answer.” John Dewey
![Page 51: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Questioning: What Research Says
Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down
Research says that the number of questions asked of boys as well as girls is roughly equivalent.
Because female students to be dominated by male aggressive answering techniques, equity is achieved by teachers asking female students more questions than male students.
![Page 52: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Boys answer more questions than girls because they are more noncompliant.
Boys answer more questions than girls because they are assertive in grabbing the teacher’s attention.
Boys are often reprimanded for their assertive and aggressive questioning techniques.
![Page 53: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Girls are more likely to be reprimanded than boys for answering questions without raising their hands.
Non-white students are asked more questions than white students.
The goal of the teacher should be to have all students answer questions.
A protocol is the best way to ensure that all students have an opportunity to respond to questions.
![Page 54: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Why Don’t We Ask Better Questions? (Systems Thinker)
Western culture is focused more on the right answer than the right question.
Our educational system focuses on memorization and static answers rather than on the art of seeking new possibilities through dynamic questioning.
Quizzes, examinations and aptitude tests all reinforce the value of correct answers.
![Page 55: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Why Ask Questions? (Hannel)
Helps us to assess on a moment to moment basis.
Can help us find what is missing and then help us reconnect so students can scaffold their learning.
Improves teachers’ understanding of a lesson by considering how the student perceives the information at hand. (See example on page 22 of Hannel)
Engagement of reluctant learners
![Page 56: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Questioning Strategies
Pose question select reciter with wait time. Pose question select reciter without wait
time. Within and after student response pause
time Unison/choral response
![Page 57: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Pose question select reciter with wait time.
Example: Why do you think it would be important for a
teacher to provide wait time?
![Page 58: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Pose question select-reciter without wait time
Example: Tell me one questioning strategy. Another one. Another one. Another one.
![Page 59: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Within and after student response pause time
Example: ____________, why is it important to provide students with time after they are initially called upon?
![Page 60: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Unison/Choral Response
Example: Let’s say the continents together from smallest to largest.
![Page 61: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

Pose question select reciter with wait time. Pose question select reciter without wait
time. Within and after student response pause
time Unison/choral response
![Page 62: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
How does wait time (pose question select reciter) impact students?
More students participate in discussion. Fewer discipline problems disrupt the class. The length of student response increases
dramatically. Students are more likely to support their statements
with evidence. Speculative thinking increases. There are more student questions and fewer failures
to respond. Student achievement increases on written tests that
measure more complex levels of thinking.
![Page 63: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
How does wait time impact teacher behavior?
Teacher comments are less disjointed and more fluent.
Teachers ask more sophisticated, higher order questions.
Teachers begin to hold higher expectations for all students.
![Page 64: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

Cooperative Learning
![Page 74: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Cooperative Learning
Is a successful teaching strategy in which small teams (3 to 4 members) each with students of different levels of ability
(heterogeneous), use a variety of learning activities to improve their
understanding of a subject, each member of a team is responsible (individual
accountability) not only for learning what is taught but also for helping teammates learn,
thus creating an atmosphere of achievement within a specified time.

Why use Cooperative Learning?
Research has shown that cooperative learning techniques:
Promote student learning and academic achievement. Increase student retention. Enhance student satisfaction with their learning
experience. Help students develop skills in oral communication. Develop students’ social skills. Promote student self-esteem. Help to promote positive race relations.

5 Elements of Cooperative Learning
It is only under certain conditions that cooperative efforts may be expected to be more productive than competitive and individualistic efforts.
Those conditions are:

Positive Interdependence (sink or swim together)
Each group member’s efforts are required and indispensable for group success.
Each group member has a unique contribution to make to the joint effort because of his or her resources and/or role and task responsibilities.
![Page 78: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Face-to-Face Interaction(promote each other’s success)
Orally explaining how to solve problems. Teaching one’s knowledge to others. Checking for understanding. Discussing concepts being learned. Connecting present with past learning.
![Page 79: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Observing each group and recording the frequency with which each member-contributes to the group’s work.
Assigning one student in each group the role of checker. The checker asks other group members to explain the reasoning and rationale underlying group answers.
Having students teach what they learned to someone else.

Interpersonal & Small-Group Skills
Social skills must be taught:– Leadership– Decision-making– Trust-building– Communication– Conflict-management skills

Group Processing
Group members discuss how well they are achieving their goals and maintaining effective working relationships.
Describe what member actions are helpful and not helpful.
Make decisions about what behaviors to continue or change.

Class Activities that use Cooperative Learning
Most of these structures are developed by Dr. Spencer Kagan and his associates at Kagan Publishing and Professional Development. For resources and professional development information on Kagan Structures, please visit:

Jigsaw – Groups with five students are set up. Each group member is assigned some unique material to learn and then to teach to his group members. To help in the learning students across the class working on the same sub-section get together to decide what is important and how to teach it. After practice in these “expert” groups the original groups reform and students teach each other. (Wood, pg. 17) Tests or assessment follows.

Think-Pair-Share
Involves a three step cooperative structure. During the first step individuals think silently about a question posed by the instructor. Individuals pair up during the second step and exchange thoughts. In the third step, the pairs share their responses with other pairs, other teams, or the entire group.
![Page 85: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
RoundRobin Brainstorming
(Kagan)- Class is divided into small groups (4 to 6) with one person appointed as the recorder. A question is posed with many answers and students are given time to think about answers. After the “think time,” members of the team share responses with one another round robin style. The recorder writes down the answers of the group members. The person next to the recorder starts and each person in the group in order gives an answer until time is called.

Three-minute review
Teachers stop any time during a lecture or discussion and give teams three minutes to review what has been said, ask clarifying questions or answer questions.
![Page 87: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Team Pair Solo
(Kagan)- Students do problems first as a team, then with a partner, and finally on their own. It is designed to motivate students to tackle and succeed at problems which initially are beyond their ability. It is based on a simple notion of mediated learning. Students can do more things with help (mediation) than they can do alone. By allowing them to work on problems they could not do alone, first as a team and then with a partner, they progress to a point they can do alone that which at first they could do only with help.
![Page 88: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Circle the Sage
(Kagan)- First the teacher polls the class to see which students have a special knowledge to share. For example the teacher may ask who in the class was able to solve a difficult math homework question, who had visited Mexico, who knows the chemical reactions involved in how salting the streets help dissipate snow. Those students (the sages) stand and spread out in the room.
![Page 89: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
The teacher then has the rest of the classmates each surround a sage, with no two members of the same team going to the same sage. The sage explains what they know while the classmates listen, ask questions, and take notes. All students then return to their teams. Each in turn, explains what they learned. Because each one has gone to a different sage, they compare notes. If there is a disagreement, they stand up as a team. Finally, the disagreements are aired and resolved.

Partners
(Kagan)- The class is divided into teams of four. Partners move to one side of the room. Half of each team is given an assignment to master to be able to teach the other half. Partners work to learn and can consult with other partners working on the same material. Teams go back together with each set of partners teaching the other set. Partners quiz and tutor teammates. Team reviews how well they learned and taught and how they might improve and process.

Mastery Learning: Benjamin Bloom
First step is specific learning behavioral objectives. “Students will be able to….”
Students work at their own pace. Alignment between what is taught and what is
tested. Mastery is a student responsibility. All students can
learn. The role of teacher is to be a facilitator Teachers and students have positive attitudes
towards this approach.

Problem-Based Learning
Known as experience based, project based and real world learning (See examples on page 452)
Problem based learning fosters:- Leaner cooperation- Higher-order thinking- Cross-disciplinary work- Artifacts and exhibits
![Page 93: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Problem-Based Learning: Examples
How could we decrease the number of discipline referrals in our school?
How can we increase the writing achievement of our fourth grade students?
Given a budget of $500, develop a plan to improve the front of our school building?
Develop incentives that would ensure that students would stay in school.

Effective and Reflective Teaching
Reflection is the key to effective teaching Good teaching narrows what is taught but
develops it sufficiently so students can gain in-depth knowledge
Differentiated instruction is organized around needs of students, not around content standards. This is accomplished through a variety of teaching and learning modes.
![Page 96: Teacher Effectiveness](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032414/5681338f550346895d9a9953/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Effective and Reflective Teaching
Learning communities are utilized Looping promotes teachers with students Block scheduling increases student content
time

Effective and Reflective Teaching
Reflective teaching What did I do today? Was it effective? Can I
do better? Were my students engaged and motivated? How do I assess student learning today? How can I build on today for later classes?
