Document Summary

Knowledge for teaching: expert teachers have elaborate systems of knowledge for understanding problems in teaching. Working with other teachers and sharing ideas is one of best experiences in teaching: there is no one model for planning. Objectives for learning: many provinces developing standards that provide more specific descriptions of how students will demonstrate progress toward attainment of grand goals. Flexible and creative plans using taxonomies: bloom and colleagues developed a taxonomy, or classification system, of educational objectives divided into 3 domains: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Planning from a constructivist perspective: constructivist approaches planning is shared and negotiated, student and teacher make decisions together about content, activities, and approaches. Success rate should be about 95% : review weekly and monthly to consolidate learning. Independent classroom-desk work: should follow up a lesson and give students supervised practice, should see connection between seatwork and homework and the lesson.
