  1. Research-Based Literacy Instructional Strategies for Mathematics and Science Instruction Building Excellence in STEM Teaching Laveria F. Hutchison

  2. Introduction • Pre-Session Discussion • Presentation of Literacy Strategies • Post-Session Activity with Discussion • Questions/Responses

  3. State of Texas Data Hispanic population in Texas is 48.3% White population in Texas is 33.8% Black population in Texas is 11.8% Asian population in Texas is 3.4% Other (representation of various languages ) in Texas is 2.7% Source: U. S. Census 2010, P. L. 94-171.

  4. Note Taking Header (Student’s Name, Date, Subject, Topic, Pages covered from the textbook, Class Period and additional information) For six weeks, teacher provides a listing of discussion topics (Questions, Statements, Vocabulary related to the topic) Student provides responses Student writes a summary paragraph Peer Reflections and Edits

  5. Comprehension Monitoring (Brown and Palincsar, 1984) • Predicting from headings, illustrations and text-sources • Mental or Written Images • Link new information with prior knowledge • Verbalize confusing points (re-stating, questioning, seeking additional information) • Clarifying of Details (Re-reading, asking the teacher or peers, seeking new data) • Teacher-like Questions • Demonstrations, literacy walls and discussion • Peer Editing of Thinking • Summarizing

  6. Instructional Cycle for Learners • Preparation (objectives, usage of visual aids, lesson expectations and examples) • Instruction (background, vocabulary development, study guide, strategy usage, student/teacher interaction, hands-on materials and pacing/time consideration) • Review/Assessment (group interaction, feedback and continuous assessment practices)

  7. Scaffolding Strategies • Vocabulary Self-Selection • Selective Reading Guide (Page 389: Describe binary fission.) • Discussion Web (Considers relevant and irrelevant information in word problems) • Semantic Feature Analysis (Links background with new information)

  8. Teachers • Encourage students to think about text • Assist students with evaluating their predictions • Apply learning styles during instruction • Implement and model research-based literacy strategies • Provide opportunities for small group interaction Students • Take notes • Read actively (ask questions, locate responses and interact with peers)

  9. Going Forward Tutoring Professional Development Assessment Practices (Project-Based) Teacher/Action Research Community of Learners

  10. Questions/Discussion
