Provide step-by-step demonstrations 5. Use clear and concise language 6. Provide a range of examples and non-examples 7. Provide guided and supported practice 7 General Lesson Design • Opening • Attention • Review • Preview • Body • Closing • Review • Preview • Independent Work 8 General Lesson Design Lesson Opening - Attention Attention • Provide a verbal cue such as • “Listening” • “We are going to begin” • “Eyes and ears on me” • Follow the verbal cue with silence • Regain attention throughout the lesson 9 General Lesson Design Lesson Opening - Review Review • Review content of previous lessons • Review necessary prerequisite skills (preskills) for target skill being taught • Review background knowledge needed for today’s lesson • Review must be interactive • Request responses during review 10 General Lesson Design Lesson Opening - Review What are the benefits of an interactive review? Benefits to students Benefits to teacher 11 General Lesson Design Lesson Opening - Preview Preview • State goal of lesson • Use student-friendly language • Discuss relevance of target skill (or larger goal) 3 W’s • Where? • Why? • When? 12 General Lesson Design Lesson Opening • Attention • Provide a verbal _________such as “Listening” or “We are going to begin” • Follow the verbal cue with ____________________ • Review • • • • Review content of previous lessons Review necessary _____________________ for target skill being taught Review ___________ _______________ needed for today’s lesson Review must be ____________________________ • Preview • State _________________ of lesson • Discuss _______________ of target skill (or larger goal) • 3 W’s __________ ___________ ____________ 13 General Lesson Design Lesson Closing • Review • Review critical content • Review must be interactive • Preview • Preview content of next lesson • Independent Work • Assign independent work • Review assignments, quizzes, projects, performances due in future 14 General Lesson Design Lesson Closing • Review • Review _____________ content • Review must be _______________________ • Preview • Preview ______________ of next lesson • Independent Work • Assign __________________ work • Review assignments, quizzes, projects, performances due in the ____________ 15 General Lesson Design • Opening • Attention • Review • Preview • Body • Closing • Review • Preview • Independent Work 16 General Lesson Design Body of Lesson Varies across subjects and grades May include instruction on: • Skills and strategies (How to do something) • Vocabulary and concepts (What something is) • Rules (If ______ then ______ ) • Facts 17 General Lesson Design Are you teaching a: • • • • Skill or strategy Vocabulary or concept Rule Fact Students are preparing for reading a passage about the United Nations. 18 General Lesson Design The teacher: 1. ______________ introduces the meaning of humanitarian, disarmament, non-proliferation. 2. ______________ tells students that there are 193 member states in the United Nations. 3. ______________ demonstrates how to take Cornell notes on passage content. 4. ______________ introduces procedure for writing a summary on the passage. 19 Body - Skill or Strategy How to do something • Sound out word • • Determine meaning of word using context clues Take notes on information text* • Determine meaning of word using root and affixes Write a summary of content* • Write an opinion piece* • Spell an unknown word • Solve an equation • Determines cause and effect* • Write up a science experiment • Make Inferences* • *=aligns to Marzano’s research 20 Body - Skill or Strategy How to do something What are some of the skills or strategies that you teach? 21 Body - Skill or Strategy • The Three Components • Model I do it • Prompt We do it • Check You do it Anita Archer, 1977 22 Body - Skill or Strategy Simple skill or strategy • Model I do it • Prompt We do it • Check You do it Teacher performs Students watch Teacher performs Students perform Teacher watches Students perform 23 Body - Skill or Strategy Simple Examples Example A. Example B. Letter/sound association Counting by fives 1. Listen as I count by 5’s. 5, 10, 15, 20 1. (Writes letter m) This sound is /mmmmmm/ 2. Count by 5’s with me. 5, 10, 15, 20 2. Say the sound with me. /mmmmmmm/ 3.Again. 5, 10, 15, 20. Again. 5, 10, 15, ____. Again 5, 10, ___ ___. Again. 5, ___ ___ ___. 3. What sound? /mmmmm/ 4.Count by 5’s on your own. 5, 10, 15, 20 24 Body - Skill or Strategy Simple Examples Example C. Reading difficult to pronounce words Example D. Segmenting long word for spelling 1. When you spell a long word, it is useful to break the word into parts. Let’s practice that skill. My turn. The word is convention. I slow it down, and tap and say the parts. con ven tion 1. (Writes fastidious) This word is fastidious 2. Say the word with me. fastidious Again. fastidious 2. The next word is demonstrate. What word? Say and tap the parts with me. dem on strate (Do the following words with students: represent, lovely). 3. What word? /fastidious/ 3. Your turn. The word is unproductive. Say the parts. un pro duc tive 25 Body - Skill or Strategy I do it More complex skills and strategies Model (I do it) • Show (Demonstrating) • Proceed step-by-step • Exaggerate the steps • Tell (Describing) • Tell students what you are doing • Tell students what you are thinking • Gain Responses • Ask for responses • What they already know • What you have told them 26 Body - Skill or Strategy I do it More complex skills and strategies • The 3 C’s • The model should be: • Clear • Consistent • Concise 27 Body - Skill or Strategy I do it More complex skills and strategies Paragraph Shrinking 1. Name the who or what. (The main person, animal, or thing.) 2. Tell the most important thing about the who or what. 3. Say the main idea in 10 words or less.

Ask yourself, what are common errors that students might make? b. Precorrect those errors as you model. 31 Body - Skill or Strategy Video Activity I do it As you watch Grade 6 video “Pronunciation of Multisyllabic Words”, determine the potential errors that the teacher is anticipating. 32 Body - Skill or Strategy We do it More complex skills and strategies • Purposes of guided practice • Promote high level of success • Build confidence Types of prompts • Prompt physically • Prompt visually • Prompt verbally Step - do - Step - do - Step - do - Step - do Three C’s = clear, consistent, concise 33 Body - Skill or Strategy We do it More complex skills and strategies Levels of Prompts Tell them what to do Ask them what to do Remind them what to do Gradually fade prompts. 34 Body - Skill or Strategy We do it Video Activity Complete this activity independently or in a group at your school as a continuation of the video already previewed. Review the Social Studies video of Mrs. Lee and Class, part I.

What did you notice? 38 Final Thoughts Not a static procedure • Depends on what you are teaching (e.g., complexity, familiarity) • Depends on who you are teaching (e.g., prior knowledge, learning history) 39 Questions Special Education Statewide Technical Assistance (SESTA) Center for School Improvement & Policy Studies, BSU Gina Hopper Katie Bubak Director Coordinator [email protected] [email protected] Sydney Fox Program Manager [email protected] David Klungle Program Coordinator [email protected] Find the following on the ITC: • Statewide Calendar • Online Training Registration • Online Communities www.idahotc.com Cari Murphy Project Director Shawn Wright Webmaster/ISD • Webinars • Resource Links • In-service Credit Offerings Jesse Hewitt Web Specialist Ben Troka Web Specialist Email: [email protected] Housed at: Center on Disabilities and Human Development, University of Idaho Autism Supports Professional Development Barbara Broyles Robin Greenfield [email protected] [email protected] Idaho Training Clearinghouse Assistive Technology Technical Assistance Cari Murphy Janice Carson [email protected] [email protected]
