Results: Pre-Assessment I used Excel to record HOW MANY people
self-evaluated at different levels (you can make graphs with Excel! FUN!)
Red, yellow & green areas I also identified who rated themselves
where in order to ask for assistance from folk who felt very comfortable in certain areas, and to ensure that I met the needs of those who DON’T feel comfortable!

Hierarchy of Needs (handout) Differentiation
◦ Bloom’s Taxonomy (handout)◦ Multiple Intelligences (we’ll discuss this today

Pre- & Post-Assessment: what’s challenging here?
The “Yellows” from the Self-Assessments

UbD (Understanding by Design) (Activity Later) Cooperative Learning (note slide) Multiple Intelligences (MI) (Activity Later!) (Zone of Proximal Development) ZPD Constructivism
◦ Constructivist teaching is based on the belief that learning occurs as learners are actively involved in a process of meaning and knowledge construction as opposed to passively receiving information. Learners are the makers of meaning and knowledge.

Handout: Burke p. Time: 5 minutes-
individual reflection) (Setting up a “Notes
Key” is a great way to scaffold for struggling (and non-struggling) readers!)
Re-read the strategies; mark them with the following key: Automatic A (I’d do this
without thinking) Logical L (Makes
sense, and I may or may not remember it)
D’oh! D (I should have thought of that, but I might not!)
Blecch! B (I do NOT like that idea!)

Happy Excel File for you? (It’s on my website)
Standards…

Find 3 commonalities Find 3 differences
Burke Chapter 10 (3rd) or 3 (4th) v Brandvik Chap 3: GRUDGE MATCH
17
Comparisons Concrete (but different)
lesson plan ideas Backwards Design Focus on classroom
management a li’l bit Outline a timeline (days,
weeks, units, course) Refer to specific works of
literature in examples Establish a clear
rationale and/or specific goals
Contrasts Burke has 4-year outline Burke has lots o’figures &
student work Brandvik has blank tools Burke was metacognitive…
discussed teacher’s progress in addition to students’ progress… talked about the positive side of failure
ELL students mentioned in Brandvik
Burke emphasized making connections, adding meaning to students’ lives via education huzzah!
