Instructional strategies can be used to engage all learners from a variety of backgrounds and learning styles. I plan to incorporate instructional strategies that are supported by evidence-based research. It has been proven that using these instructional strategies reduces inappropriate behavior. These instructional strategies will be incorporated into my classroom management plan in order to reduce these challenging behaviors even more. The instructional strategies I will use are listed below!
1. Direct Instruction
1. Direct Instruction
- Provides clear instruction for ELL students that include visuals
- Step-by-step instruction provide students will disabilities simple steps to achieve a desired task
- Teach appropriate behavior
- Model classroom procedures
- Includes students in general education setting
- Draws on students strengths
- Encourages the development of socail skills
- Provides struggling students with more individualized time with the teacher
- Hands-on learning for students that learn kinesthetically
- Keep students that are easily distracted engaged on a task
- Within a larger group, I can differentiate tasks to meet students needs. For example, when teaching a third-grade math lesson, I provided students with multiple avenues to reach the same goal within a larger group. We were working on writing fractions. Students were able to look at the visual and write down the fraction. Some students manipulated it using mini pizza cut outs. Other students preferred to explain aloud what the fraction represented.
