Instructional Stategies

I believe who want to learn are the ones who end up successful. As a teacher, it is my job to get the students in that mindset.

I think that an engaging and wide array of instructional strategies will create a learning environment where they want to come in and learn. Here are 2 of the ways I will teach to my students.

Stations

I love the idea of setting up several stations for students to learn the material, rehearse it, and explore more about the topic on their own. I would set up 3-4 stations: 1 with me where I would go over notes, 1 with a partner assignment to help them further know the concept, and the last station would be another assignment that is hands-on and engaging to be worked on independently. I think this is a great way for students to be interactive with me and other classmates while also learning at their own pace.

Group Teaching

For this strategy, I would split my class into groups and assign them a part of the lesson to read and take notes on. When they have completed that, it is their job to make a presentation and teach the rest of the class their section. During their work time I would make sure they are getting all the right material down. After they have presented to the class, we will have a discussion where I can add information if I want to and the students can ask questions and share comments about the topic. I think this is a great thing to do in high school classrooms because it teaches the students responsibility since they need to know the material and also helps their public speaking abilities.
