Introduction: Today’s classroom is filled with an array students whom each have individual strengths and limits. It is our responsibility as teachers to not only identify and celebrate their strengths, but to determine their areas of limitation so that we can aid in building up these areas. In the following case, Joe is a 2nd grader who attends a Title 1 tutor class while attending an elementary magnet school. As the tutor class begins while Joe’s reading class is still in session his teacher is collaborating with this tutor to find ways to adjust the assignments so that Joe can meet the nine week goals his teach has set.…
Why should someone be interested in this problem?(Why is it interesting to analyze this data set?)As students prepare for future semesters they typically want the most information they can get beforechoosing their courses. For some students having a good instructor is very important to them. Resourceslike RateMyProfessors.com offer students a way to “rate” their previous instructors, in order to provideuseful information for future students looking to take a course with that teacher. While it could be arguedthat the opinions of these students are subjective, and that the website could be augmented by non-students(outside the population of interest), the success of RateMyProfessors.com would imply a certain validity intheir model of perceived quality. Background information people need to know to understand to problem and/or data set.…

Each DBQ Project lesson is designed to teach critical subject area content through a constructivist approach. All lessons start with a driving question. To answer that question, students read, interpret and draw conclusions from a series of documents. The inquiry/constructive nature of our lessons, places teacher more in the role of facilitator that “sage on the stage.”…
Motivation is a complex construct, but in it’s simplest form motivation can be broken into two main components: intrinsic and extrinsic. When a person is intrinsically motivated to do something, the desire emanates from within. Extrinsic motivation, on the other hand, involves completing a task for an external reason. By encouraging children through rewards, their intrinsic motivation is destroyed. When the focus of an activity becomes gaining a reward, intrinsic motivation is reduced.…

I never knew that motivations had so many components to it. Inexperienced teachers wrongly assume that what motivated them as a kid will motivate their classes. Nope wrong. If you use the wrong motivation technique it can cause a kid to back off and to lose their spark. Teachers have great power, but need to recognize it and use it in a conscious, intentional way.…
2. Students who are discouraged can be kept engaged through activities that involve their own personal background knowledge (Universal Design for Learning Guidelines, nd). By allowing learning to build on what a student already know, students will be able to feel like they already have a strong base of understanding instead of “starting from scratch” with each lesson or content area. 3. I think hands on activities, small-scale experiments or games could be an effective way to engage students who are “turned off to studying (Universal Design for Learning Guidelines, nd).…
(Lang, par 10). On the surface, extrinsic motivation may seem like it helps students learn by giving them a goal to work towards, but in reality it is only hurting their education. Intrinsic motivation “leads to deep learning” and can help students retain information better (Lang, par 10). Students who learn because they are interested in the material and what they might get out of it are more likely to succeed than students who only learn for a good…
The fourth step in Smith and Ragan’s task analysis requires the instructor to determine the prerequisite the learners need to ensure that they are able to successfully complete the lesson. For example, the learners must know that a problem is a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved. The learners must also be aware that a solution is when the problem is solved. The final step in Smith and Ragan’s task analysis requires the instructor to construct learning objectives for the learning goal.…
Based on the two articles by Marzano that were assigned to read and this week’s content on adaptations for ELLs, in a word-processed document, write a summary of the significant elements of Practice, Homework and Identifying Similarities and Differences integrating concrete examples and/or non-examples from your teaching practice. Homework and practice go hand to hand when students are learning on their own and applying new concepts. As mentioned and described by Marzano, and according to the information provided in the two articles homework and practice are fundamental practices to enhance student achievement. Several elements are described to be involved when providing effective opportunities of practice. For instance, considering the…

The data recorded after the summative assessment on fossils showed that the students below level reading and ELLs that speak only Spanish at home both received a failing average. Students who are below reading level had an average of 65% and the ELLs that speak only Spanish at home received an average of 69%. This showed that these students did not know the vocabulary given or did not fully understand what was taught because of their low reading levels, lack of academic vocabulary and comprehension skills. The Non-ELLs students received an average of 87% which shows that they understood the concept on fossils but they had a few misunderstandings of the topic taught. The on level readers average scores were 92%, this showed an understanding of the concept taught along with information given.…
An instructor needs to look at a student’s “academic engagement” to get a more accurate determination of motivation (Ormrod, 2015). Academic engagement includes the following: behavioral, cognitive, and emotional engagement (Ormrod, 2015). Behavioral engagement is where motivation increases a student’s level of effort and determination in an activity that is relative to the student’s needs and goals (Ormrod, 2015). This can engage the student to tackle an assignment head on with enthusiasm or approach the assignment with apprehension. Behavioral engagement pushes a student to complete tasks when faced with challenges.…
