Summarizing and Note Taking
Non-Linguistic
Representations
Non-linguistic representations should elaborate on the pre-existing knowledge or the newly
introduced knowledge. A variety of activities to produce non-linguistic
representations should be used.
• Creating Graphic Representations• Making Physical Models• Generating Mental Pictures• Drawing Pictures and Pictographs• Engaging in Kinesthetic Activities
Generating and Testing Hypotheses
Hypotheses generation and testing can be approached in a more inductive or deductive
manner. Inductive-Use general rules to make a prediction about a specific
event. Deductive-Specific pieces of information lead to general
conclusion
Identify Similarities and Differences
Presenting students with explicit guidance in identifying similarities and differences
enhances students’ understanding of ability to use knowledge
Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback
Students should be encouraged to personalize the teacher’s goals, adapting them to their personal needs and desires.
Students can effectively provide some of their own feedback. Non-authoritative feedback produces significant gain.
Cooperative Learning
Cooperative learning should be applied consistently and systematically, yet not
overused. Organizing groups based on ability should be done sparingly.
Cues, Questions and Advance Organizers
Cues, questions and advanced organizers should focus on what is important, rather than
what is unusual.
Daily Curriculum Available
Reinforcing Efforts and Providing Recognition
Reward is most effective when it is contingent on the attainment of some
standard of performance.
Homework and Practice
The amount of homework should
vary from elementary, to middle, to high school. Parent involvement in
homework should be kept at a minimum.
