Theories and or Research-Based Best Practices: Identify relevant research/theory to justify why learning tasks (or their application) are appropriate. How have you intentionally linked this to your instructional planning?
One theorist that influenced my planning is Jerome Bruner with his constructivst approach to learning. Bruner believed that children should become active learners through hands-on activities and instruction due to the importance of learning new concepts. By being an active learners, children are then able to build on their previous knowledge to construct new ideas about the information they are being exposed to. I have …show more content…
They will also be intellectually engaged through creating their own graph with multiple rows as a class. I will communicate my expectations for the student's behavior before each instruction is given and when the lesson is beginning. For example, when the students are being sent back to their desks to complete the “extra practice” worksheet, they will be told to get their pencils and math workbooks out and sit quietly at their desks. I will follow up on behavior expectations by allowing the students to fix their behavior for the activity if they are struggling. If students are unable to follow instructions and behave properly, they will be asked to take a break by the wall of the classroom. I believe I am engaging my learners well due to the hands-on activity that I have planned and by allowing different choices for them to chose for putting on the class
