Deepening Student Understanding TTYN - What would you do to help

students better understand a new word? Research suggests….

Say the word aloud ○ “valentimes”, “valevictorian”, “anenome”

Give a user friendly explanation and synonyms – link it to what kids know

Provide many examples and nonexamplesHave students generate examples and

connect it to their experiences

Simple Routine – Word Map

What is the CMR?

A research-validated instructional routine. Created to deepen diverse groups of

students’ understanding of concepts. It is used to describe concepts and clarify

student understanding of them. Do NOT use this tool to explain sequences

(e.g., long division) or to compare and contrast ideas (e.g., animal vs. plant cell).

What is a Concept? Concepts are unique types of vocabulary

words. They represent categories or classes into

which other ideas fit. They have characteristics that make them

different from other ideas. Examples – quadratic equation, democracy,

symbolism, isotope Nonexamples – ax2 + bx + c = 0, the U.S.

House, Uranium 238

Concept Latter or Pyramid Is Epic Hero a concept?

Concept Latter or Pyramid Is City State a concept?

Concept Ladder or Pyramid TTYN – Try to identify other concepts.

When is the CMR used?

This routine can be used to introduce a concept.

It can be used to clarify initial instruction on a concept.

Using this routine helps to clarify, refine, and deepen students understanding of concepts.

Where is the CMR used?

This routine can be used in:General education classroomsCo-taught classroomsAcademic support classroomsSpecial education classrooms

Cue-Do-Review Instructional Sequence Cue - Prior to using a Concept Diagram,

discuss with students:what you are going to do, why you are going to do it, and how you are going to do it.

Cue-Do-Review Instructional Sequence Do - Interactively construct a Concept

Diagram with students by: using Choral Responding using Question Bouncing using Response Cards or Slates using Think-Pair-Share

Cue-Do-Review Instructional Sequence Review - Ask questions of students to

make sure that they understand the concept taught.

What is the impact of the Concept Mastery Routine? Validation Study (Bulgren et al., 1993)

Students with disabilities improved 22 percentage points from pretest to posttest on concept acquisition, and students without disabilities improved 34 percentage points.

Compared to unit test scores when not used,

students with disabilities improved 11 percentage points on unit tests when then routine was used, and students without disabilities improved 15 percentage points.
