Instructional Strategies
Teacher approach to helping students achieve the learning objectives and meet their needs.
The teacher will provide many opportunities to respond to ensure student engagement. The teacher will
use technology to present the lesson to reach the iKid generationTeacher will get student feedback to
ensure that students needs will be met if they have not been after the lesson. Students will discuss and
learn what they have in common with those around them by doing a fun up-and-moving activity. Students
will have a chance to play with and explore the materials.
Learning Activities
Opportunities provided for students to develop knowledge and skills of the learning objectives.
Teacher will have students write one word and draw a picture in the middle of an artist journal
page that represents a large part of their identity such as family, god, friends, pets, etc. Students
will take a marker choosing a color that represents them and walk around the room signing any
of the pages that are a large part of their identity. Then, they will reflect on the activity.
Students will compare two students artworks looking for commonalities and
differences and how they both show identity.
Students will be instructed to play and experiment with new art materials and will
be required to present their findings to the class.
Students will fill out an exit slip before leaving class answering the question: What
was one thing you learned while experimenting that you would like to share with
the class?
Classroom Management
Strategies consistent with the learning needs of the lesson that also meet student
behavior needs to help keep the students on task and actively engaged.
Teacher has the students enter while using TUMS to set a positive environment for the classroom (Touch
them, Use their name, Make eye contact, Smile). Teacher has taught behavior expectations at the
beginning of the year so students know what is expected. Classroom expectations are also posted on
the wall as a reminder. There are seats placed away from other students in case the student needs to be
separated from class for behavioral reasons. Teacher will use a 4 to 1 ratio for positives versus
negatives. Teacher provides many opportunities to respond to keep students engaged.
Extensions
Activities for early finishers that extend the students understanding of and thinking about
the learning objectives by applying their new knowledge in a different way.
Students will collaborate on a class portrait to learn about and understand group identities.
Teacher will require an exit slip for students to leave the class. They will respond to the following
prompts: What did you learn about the materials you worked with today that you would like to share with
the class? The students will hand these to the teacher completed as they walk out of the room. The
teacher will have the students share next time they come to class.
