I believe that classrooms need to be universally designed in order to best meet the needs of all learners. Teaching explicit learning strategies to students and using these strategies universally in the classroom are so very important to ensure success for all learners.
Reflection is aspect of many macrostrategies (Marzano, 2007). As students reflect on their learning, they gain important assessment information about how they perceive the efficacy of their thinking (Costa & identify and record their areas of confusion not only enhances their learning, but also provides the teacher with valuable diagnostic information (Butler & Winne, 1995; Cross, 1998). I love having students reflect on their learning. I have found that when I build in student reflection to their assignments, engagement increases. I have found that when I ask students to reflect on their learning, students put more effort into the assigned tasks. Marzano (2007) states that at the …show more content…
Some students require chunking to understand more complex concepts and others require chunking for students to improve in certain areas of their understanding. Chunking of information is another strategy. I use the Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication-Handicapped Children (TEACCH) model in my classroom. TEACCH developed the intervention approach called “Structured
TEACCHing”, which is based on understanding the learning characteristics of individuals and the use of visual elements to promote meaning and independence in different environments (Schopler, Mesibov, & Hearsey, 1995). Based on the TEACCH approach, the students work from left to right and top to bottom. The students complete three tasks and then complete a reward activity. The tasks are different items we have worked on during the direct instruction. I find this approach provides formative data to drive my direct
