Something that I learned in NTI this Summer was how to effectively write an objective and complete a task analysis for upcoming units and demonstrations. This helped me in the sense that it taught/allowed me to completely dissect the steps that needed to be covered in an orderly and coherent fashion. In doing so, I was able to pinpoint specific areas that need more focus and very clear, basic instruction. As a result, I've noticed it has helped slow my teaching pace down so that all students fully comprehend the lesson, and no student is left behind!
Hello James,
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great learning strategy. I hope to implement this too as soon as my kids start using the equipment in the next few weeks.

James the events of instructions I haven't implemented but I surely need to
ReplyDeleteI have to remember to do that for labs.
ReplyDeleteThis is great, James. As the experts in our fields it is so easy to miss a step and lose the students. It's too easy to forget that we have a great deal of pre requisite knowledge and that makes us make assumptions of what students know. I appreciate you taking this to heart. Joi and Anna are both correct that this helps with lab teaching and equipment teaching.
