MASTER TECHNOLOGY TEACHER CERTIFICATION PROGRAM Education Service Center Region XI Home	Pam Willis Instructional and Learning Strategies. Analyzing the student learners targeted in the instructional design being developed is a means to identify the learner characteristics that will likely impact the process and outcomes of the learning experience. Aspect 1: The Syntax Learning Goals Instructional Strageties Instructional Actions Students Activities Incorporate TEKS into LessonPlanner software Demonstrate Demonstration Steps: Open up lesson planner software go to the "Maintenance" menu Choose the class Choose TEKS Find the subject and select Learner will watch and take notes if necessary. Active Learning Have the participants: Open up lesson planner software go to the "Maintenance" menu Choose the class Choose TEKS Find the subject and select Learner will repeat the steps demonstrated. They may use any notes taken. Other students will watch and learn from students mistakes and successes. Create a lesson in the lesson planner Demonstration Show how to start the lesson process Show the different areas that must be entered Show how to save the information Show how the lesson planner can link to gradebook Learners will watch, ask questions and take notes if needed. Active Learning Practice the start the lesson process Practice the different areas that must be entered Practice saving the information Practice linking lesson planner to the gradebook Learners will try this on their own and ask questions or use their notes as needed. Link the lesson to other classes of the same subject Demonstration Show how to choose more than one class Show how to link the classes together Show how you must put the TEKS in separately for each class Learners will watch, ask questions and take notes if needed. Active Learning Try to choose more than one class Try to link the classes together Learners will try this on their own and ask questions or use their notes as needed. Evaluate the needs of diverse learners. Discussion What are the learning styles of the class? Will the strategies of the lesson meet the needs of all the learners? If not, what other strategies can be used to make certain that all learners are successfull?   Become comfortable with the mentoring process. Reflection Did the participant seem comfortable with the subject? Did the participant have trouble with the steps? Did the participant have all of their questions answered? Was the particpant comfortable asking questions about things they did not understand?   Aspect 2: The Social System Describe the interpersonal structure of the instructional experience. The department heads will be taught the software in groups of two or one-on-one during their off period or after school. The other teachers will be taught by departments on the in-service day with the mentor(me) doing the instruction and the department head present for support. Aspect 3: The role of the instructor Describe your general instructional role. For example, will you present material, guide students as they research their own issues, etc? The mentor (me) will teach the lesson to the entire faculty. We will do this in small groups and have guided practice. There will also be handouts (cheat sheets) for them to use and notetaking is encouraged. Aspect 4: The support system Describe the types and amount of instructional, technical, and other resource support required for the instruction (e.g., instructional materials, communication capabilities). I entend to encourage them to find a buddy in their department so they can help each other. The Lynx software, where the lesson planner software is housed needs to be in working order all over the campus. We will need to install the software on the computers of the lab that we will be using that day. I will need my laptop and data projector.
