  6. THREADED DISCUSSION #1DEBRIEF • After you read about the Interactive-Compensatory Model and the creation of the “flexible reader”, what strategies did you discuss with your classmates about struggling readers? • What strategies did you provide to assist with word recognition? • Based on the fact that, if students do not have strong prior knowledge, they often struggle with context: • What remedies and/or strategies did you provide for this issue in your classroom? Benedictine University

  7. THREADED DISCUSSION #2DEBRIEF • Based on the information in Session 8 on the Matthew Effects in Readingand its Academic Consequences: • What examples did you discuss with your classmates about: • Situations in the classroom you have seen where students have exhibited the cycle? • Specific strategies can you employ in your classroom to assist students that are victims of this cycle? Benedictine University

Please review each slide and raise your hand to answer and provide a rationale for your answer to the question or statement! Ready…Set…GO! Benedictine University

  10. POST-TEST LITERACY WARM-UP Benedictine University

  11. TRUEORFALSESTUDENTS SHOULD ALWAYS LEAD CLASSROOM DISCUSSIONS QUESTION #1 Benedictine University

  12. FALSE It is stated in #8 of 10 Evidence-Based Best Practices for Comprehensive Literacy Instruction (Session 3) that we should: “Balance teacher and student led discussions of text” Discussions do not just “happen”- they occur because teachers plan for them and explicitly teach the skills required In peer-led discussion, students gain from peers’ insights and initial interpretations, while allowing students to share their background knowledge Following an effective peer-run discussion, students leave with new understandings as well as new tools for understanding Benedictine University

  13. WHAT THEORY EMPHASIZES EXERCISING THE MIND LIKE IT IS A MUSCLE? QUESTION #2 Benedictine University

  14. WHAT THEORY? MENTAL DISCIPLINE THEORY “Learning is a matter of strengthening, or disciplining, the faculties of the mind, which combine to produce intelligent behavior” (SESSION 2) Benedictine University

  15. According to _________ theory, people organize everything they know into _________, or knowledge structures ? ? QUESTION #3 Benedictine University

  16. WHATTHEORY? According to SCHEMAtheory, people organize everything they know into SCHEMAS, or knowledge structures (SESSION 4) In general, this constructivist theory strives to explain how knowledge is created and used by learners Important characteristics of Schema Theory are that everyone’s schemas are individualized and the more elaborate an individual’s schema for any topic is, the more easily he or she will be able to learn new information in that topic area Benedictine University

  17. TRUEORFALSESTUDENTS FROM PROFESSIONAL HOMES ARE EXPOSED TO MORE VOCABULARY TERMS THAN THOSE IN WORKING CLASS HOMES QUESTION #4 Benedictine University

  18. TRUE It is estimated that within a year’s time period, children fromprofessional homes are exposed to 11.2 million words, children from working-class homes are exposed to 6.5 million words, and children from welfare homes are exposed to 3.2 million words (Session 6) (Hart and Risley, (1995, 1999) Since vocabulary knowledge is essential for reading success, this discrepancy places preschool children from at-risk communities at a grave disadvantage and necessitates prolonged, multifaceted interventions Benedictine University

  19. One of the best ways to monitor children’s reading skills and development is to include ____ _____ instruction as part of a classroom literacy program ? ? QUESTION #5 Benedictine University

  20. GUIDED READING GUIDED READINGis one of the best ways to monitor children’s reading skills and development as part of a classroom literacy program (Session 6) Three characteristics that identify a reading activity as guided reading are: It takes place it a small group All of the students in the group must be of similar reading ability Students are provided with reading materials that are on their correct reading level Benedictine University

  21. Vygotsky(1978) believed thought and knowledge emerge from oral language that is embedded in________ ___________ ? ? QUESTION #6 Benedictine University

  22. SOCIAL INTERACTION Vygotsky(1978) believed thought and knowledge emerge from oral language that is embedded in social interaction This co-construction of meaning leads to learning Thus, when writing is a social act, it is often stronger because of interactions as students talk and create new meanings together Benedictine University

  23. ? ? ___________ ____________ refers to a child’s understanding that words are comprised of individual sounds QUESTION #7 Benedictine University

  24. PHONEMIC AWARENESS Phonemic Awareness refers to a child’s understanding that words are comprised of individual sounds (Session 8) Children who acquire this ability are able to hear rhyming words and can segment individual sounds out of words and blend them together again Phonemic awareness is developed over time and through practice (Juel, 1991) Phonemic awareness skills can be strengthened by listening to rhyming books and nursery rhymes, and playing rhyming games Benedictine University

  25. TRUEORFALSEEXPERT TEACHERS ARE MUCH LIKE COACHES, THEY TELL STUDENTS HOW TO BECOME BETTER READERS AND WRITERS QUESTION #8 Benedictine University

  26. FALSE Effective teachers are much like coaches. Instead of telling studentswhat they must do to become better readers and writers, they use discussion and inquiry to guide students in constructing meaning from text (Session 3) (Allington &Johnston, 2002; Malloy &Gambrell, 2010; Taylor, Pearson, Clark, &Walpole, 2000) Benedictine University

  27. According to best practice benchmarks for learning, we are moving from ________ absorption of information to ___________ construction of meaning ? ? QUESTION #9 Benedictine University

  28. PASSIVE TO ACTIVE According to benchmarks for learning and teaching, we are moving from PASSIVEabsorption of information to ACTIVEconstruction of meaning (Session 3) Earlier theories of learning viewed learning as a passive process, and much of school learning has been based on this premise Teachers have been expected to do most of the talking, and students have been directed to listen More recent theories of learning view learning as an active, constructive process Benedictine University

  29. TRUEORFALSEGOOD TEACHING REQUIRES TEACHERS TO CONSTRUCT AND RECONSTRUCT THEIR THEORIES CONTINUALLY QUESTION #10 Benedictine University

  30. TRUE All teachers operate according to theories about learning and teaching, some tacit and others explicit Good teaching requires teachers to construct and reconstruct their theories continually and to determine through systematic, careful inquiry whether their theories result in the kind of best teaching practices that will enable all of their students to meet high expectations for learning and achievement Benedictine University

  31. POST TEST DEBRIEF What is one prominent idea of theories and best practice that you will definitely be using in your literacy environment? What is one area of theory or best practice that still leaves you skeptical? How have your views on best practice changed as a result of this course? Benedictine University

  36. ARTICLE DEBRIEF What major points about theory and best practice in action have you taken away from this article share? Discuss how educational articles have a place in educational theory, research, and change in the U.S. classroom Benedictine University

  37. INTERVIEWREVIEW INTERVIEW SHARE Benedictine University

  38. INTERVIEW REVIEW Next Stop…. INTERVIEW REVIEW! Please get out your interview reflections and be ready to share your thoughts with the class On the next slide, you will see statements that we will use for our all-class “Interview Review” Benedictine University
