Today’s educators are faced with a new generation of…show more content… This report is based on information collected in 2010-2011 from technology plans submitted by schools and corporations across the state. The report shows that mindsets of schools are starting to shift with 46% of schools reporting that they have begun to virtualize their servers and 29% of schools reporting they are likely to do so in the future. In addition to this, many schools have begun to integrate one to one initiatives into their classrooms. This initiative provides a device, such as a laptop, to each student for their use at school or at home. Finally, according to a study done by the National Center for Educational Statistics, “American children between the ages of 9 and 17 use technology more than any other age group” (Gillard & Bailey, 2007, p.87). We, as educators of a new generation, must realize that we have students who have been raised with technology at their fingertips. Our students have grown up in a world immersed with technology. Many schools have been fighting against the use of technology in the classroom. However, schools are starting to recognize that our current generation of students who learn in a different
tailored for a rural setting to meet Australian Curriculum requirements using the backwards design model (Wiggins & McTighe 2005). Desired outcomes were planned in consultation with the Australian Curriculum, then acceptable evidence of learning and assessment determined. Learning experiences were then designed to utilise engaging and genuine real-world activities to relate shape and area to students’ lives outside school. Finally, the instruction was scaffolded to the students’ numeracy skills and
Differentiated instruction and the UDL principles
These two elements of classroom are intrinsically linked, as differentiated instruction is well suited to the three principles in UDL. By focusing on CAST’s three systems and appropriate teaching methods, particularly recognition, strategic and affective, the guide aims to identify ways in which differentiated instruction coordinates UDL theory. Varying theories have been proven to be affective in supporting different skills as students learn, from
Introductory
• In what ways does your curriculum program support student learning and achievement of mathematics?
Probing
• How have you organized your program to enable student learning of all grade-level curriculum expectations?
• How are your lessons designed for student learning of mathematical concepts, procedures/algorithms, and mental math strategies through problem solving?
• What ways are the mathematics process skills explicit in your lesson plans?
• In what ways are different mathematics
CHAPTER III:
METHODS
Introduction
Chapter two discussed how today’s learners are not changing but the way in which they learn is. Integrating 21st century skills into the media framework is one way to keep the curriculum relevant and engaging. This chapter outlines three projects that show how integrating 21st century skills in the elementary media framework can create authentic and meaningful learning experiences. Project one is the creation of a scope and sequence for the use of an elementary
emotional and social.
Thesis Statement
Language is both seen and heard by a child. Additionally, language begins off as standard when a child is born but as the child develops so does language in which becomes very diverse as shown by the Australian Curriculum. This is demonstrated by exploring the differing environments during both the early stages and the later stages of a child 's life.
Early Stages
The early stage is the most critical time for development of a child. From birth to the age of three
Cullman County Schools
DIRECTOR OF INSTRUCTION
PLAN
A leaders vision is embedded in all of their actions and thinking.
My VISION seeks to:
• Unify Cullman County Schools and its local schools with systemic goals and initiatives to improve instructional outcomes while advancing the strategic plan.
• Build human capital that will drive our school progress toward school goals by improving teacher and leader capacity.
• Promote growth by providing the means for people to stretch while addressing
Vasquez(2013) states, “that combining two or more of the disciplines helps students see the relatedness of the concepts tying together seemingly disjointed blocks of information”(p.22). The yearly pacing of science instruction shapes integration of the four disciplines. Science instruction occurs primarily during the third and fourth quarter. A brief unit on magnetism takes place at the beginning of the second quarter. Additionally, the emphasis on number sense and computation during this period is
materials design and development area is relatively little compared to the other realms within the ELT context. The terms materials cover defined by Tomlinson (2001, 66) as "anything which is deliberately used to increase the learners’ knowledge and experience of the language.” Additionally, he believes that materials play a prominent role in contributing to the success of any ELT instructions by providing not only variety of challenging and doable tasks, but also interesting content and appearance

respect to curriculum, teaching strategies and assessment. The effectiveness and appropriateness of the methods that teachers use to support students’ needs will also be evaluated. One academic need of students that teachers need to support is basic mathematics skills, in particular, money skills. Additionally, one essential non-academic need teachers must support is students’ social skills while in group situations. In relation to money skills, teachers can use a differentiated curriculum, show students
