Three Types of Professional Practice

Automaticity: occurs with a tasked carried out with minimal mental effort, possibly without thought

• Ok for routines and management stuff 

• Not a great practice for instruction/learning 

• Examples that can occur in the classrooms: spelling, vocab, math facts, calling on students

Three Types of Professional Practice

Flow: engage in activities of which you are skilled at. The level of challenge perfectly matches the skills, training, strengths, and resources you possess. 

• high level of performance • often lose track of time 

Three Types of Professional Practice

Deliberate Practice: continually challenging yourself. You are on the edge of comfort and failure with the challenge. 

• engaging in constant pursuit of excellence and growth

SUPPORTING THE INSTRUCTIONAL FRAMEWORK

Supporting The Instructional Framework

Outcome: Build YOUR OWN understanding of the Instructional Framework Elements and start to visualize what this looks like in practice.

Supporting The Instructional Framework

Supporting The Instructional Framework

Generate a list of strategies/techniques that could be used for the element.

Brainstorm how these strategies/techniques could be used with our current resources.

Ideas are available in the Marzano books. “Teaching with Technology excerpt” is copied and stapled to your sheet.

Be specific – another pair will use your receive your sheet for the second part of the activity.

BREAKPLEASE BRING YOUR ELEMENT PACKET TO THE FRONT OF THE ROOM

Supporting The Instructional Framework

Choose a content area and lesson objective.

Using a strategy/technique from the front page – identify what this element could look like at the four levels.

Supporting The Instructional Framework

Thoughts to consider:The scale is vague – your work is thinking deeply about what does this actually look like in classroom at each level using a selected strategy/technique.

There is not a right or wrong answer. This is an exercise you and a teacher will eventually do together around his/her selected element.

It does not need to be a different strategy for each level.For example – Beginning: KWL, Developing: Anticipation Guide, Applying: Preview

Question. Instead think about how a KWL chart may be an example of all four levels – but it is how it is used that changes the level of implementation.

“Coaching Classroom Instruction” book provides examples at each level for every element.

Closing: Before Next Time

Before next time – capture a classroom video (maximum 3 minutes). Be prepared to discuss which element this video represents.
