The questions that poultrymen face as they raise

chickens from incubation to adult life are not easy to

answer. Both farmers and merchants can become

concerned when health problems such as

coccidiosis arise any time after the egg

stage to later life. Experts recommend that young

chicks should have plenty of sunshine and

Nutritious food for healthy growth. Banties and geese

should not share the same barnyard or even sleep in the

same roost.

Objectives(learning targets, outcomes, learning goals, benchmarks, goals, purpose)

Aligned with district standards and indicators Express what students should know (declarative) or

be able to do (procedural) at the end of a learning episode describes learner following instruction specifies what is to be learned, to what level, and

the behavior that will provide evidence describes conditions necessary for the objective to

be met and expected performance level

Write – Pair - Share

Write Record “sharing objectives” on your craft knowledge

record (name it, describe it, say why it’s good).

Pair Find your 3:00 partner

Share Compare your descriptions, check for accuracy and

thoroughness, revise as necessary

What will I do to help students effectively interact with new knowledge?

What do I typically do to identify critical information?(MRL, “Teacher’s Guide to Reflective Practice”, p. 7)

Curriculum

Has my district articulated curriculum? Am I to use specific materials? To Consider

Are some standards more important than others? Must I use certain materials? Can I supplement? Is there a pacing guide or timeline? Are district assessments administered at a particular

time?

Page 12: Boosting Retention E ffective I nstruction S eries 2011-12 Brain Basics

Curriculum

Identify important skills and strategies, content rules and concepts, vocabulary

Make a clear target. Essential? Worthy? Nice to Know?

What is the evidence that you will accept, to what level of mastery?

Page 13: Boosting Retention E ffective I nstruction S eries 2011-12 Brain Basics

Objectives(learning targets, learning goals, benchmarks, goals, purpose)

Stated explicitly very early in the lesson Feedback tied closely to objectives Clear purpose explained to students

relevance to students previous or future learning, current experience (sense & meaning)

(Sharer, Anastasio, & Perry, 2007, p. 62)

Information Processing Model

(Sousa, How the Brain Learns, 2007, p. 39)

Page 17: Boosting Retention E ffective I nstruction S eries 2011-12 Brain Basics

The learning brain asks two questions before it stores info.

Does this new learning make

sense?

Does this new learning have

meaning?

Importance of Processing Time

The brain needs time to create connections and pathways to create long term memories.

The hippocampus can only hold so much example of glass of water Too much, too fast, it won’t Last.

Primacy-Recency Effect

“During a learning episode we remember best that which comes first, second best that which comes last and least that which comes just past the middle” (Sousa, 90).

VAKMatch to what you’re teaching!

Visual Primary source of input More developed in digital natives

Auditory Both listening and speaking E.g., choral response

Kinesthetic Can be “small” movement E.g., solid, liquid, gas example

Page 30: Boosting Retention E ffective I nstruction S eries 2011-12 Brain Basics

Closure(summarization, generalization, terminal closure)

Sense and meaning attached to new learning Occurs at end of lesson or after sequence of

instruction for an objective (3-7 minutes) Directly involves learner processing Relates directly to objective

(Sharer, Anastasio, & Perry, 2007, p. 120)

ClosureTalk a Mile a Minute / Name that Concept

Goal: Successfully communicate all items in one minute.

Partner A: Provide clues to your partner without using the actual

words, derivatives, or rhymes. definitions, examples, descriptions, contexts

Partner B: Name the concept or component or say “pass” to move on

to the next item.
