THIS IS IT! Of all the classroom instruction you perform on a given day, Tier One at grade level instruction should be your primary focus and your best practice. This is the time that you provide students with the knowledge and essential skills necessary for overall achievement and successful matriculation to the next grade and content level. Then, intentional and purposeful content teaching practice is required to bring the learning home.
During this webinar series we will make the case for the importance of Tier One instruction and why it must be our primary work of the day. We will present research proven “I Dos” (instructional practices), and the best “We Dos” (student practice strategies) compiled and organized in Dr. Pyle’s Notable Nine (Derived from Dr. John Hattie’s best Tier One strategies). We will introduce the skills required to execute “Explicit Instruction” and explore using these use these techniques during whole group instruction.
The training includes:
- Background information on current issues related to student behavior that inhibit learning and achievement and how to address these behaviors. One area to be reviewed is the use of “working memory” and how to “chunk” material to reduce students’ cognitive load.
- Identification and practice of procedures that create and sustain strong instructional planning and execution of lessons.
- A review of proven instructional practices and skills found through the use of Explicit Teaching that can produce marked academic improvement when practiced consistently.
- Time to discuss these skills and how they can be used the very next instructional opportunity.
