Instructional and Learning Strategies.

Aspect 1: The Syntax
Student Learning Goals	Instructional Strategies	Instructor Actions	Student Activities
Research two forms of energy	Brainstorming	Determine students' prior knowledge Set up KWL on whiteboard using Mimio. Brainstorm what students know about energy in regards to light, heat, electrical and solar. Fill out KW. Print for student folders.	Students will respond to brainstorming questions. Draw on prior knowledge.
	Brainstorming	Create and display a consensogram to assess students' individual knowledge of energy.	Students will evaluate their knowledge of specific energy topics.
	Discussion/ Questioning	Show UnitedStreaming video clip Energy is the Ability to Do Work Question students: -Is there anything we need to add to the KWL? -What is energy? -What forms of energy are we studying?	Students will take notes in journal.
	Demonstration and Guided Practice	In Computer lab: Determine Internet site on energy to use for demonstration. (Prior to class time) Discuss copyright issues and bibliographies Demonstrate how to use Notestar Add Notestar Icon to Links menu Demonstrate taking a note from determined site Discuss Internet search techniques (keyword search) Share Teacher created Web links page. Explain expectations for research on Internet. Prepare and share Rubric	Observe Practice using Notestar Practice keyword search on the Internet
	Group Collaboration	Group Internet Research Allow time for students to work in groups to research two forms of energy. Students work in pairs on the computers but share findings with their group partners. Observe and monitor group behavior and progress. Use a checklist or rubric for assessment.	Use the Internet to research two forms of energy. Use keyword searches Use Notestar to take notes and create bibliography. Collaborate with group.
	Demonstration Guided Practice	UnitedStreaming Demonstration Demonstrate how to use UnitedStreaming to find videos on Forms of Energy. (Back-up plan:--save energy clips to CD for student use) Login Playlist Streaming clips Downloading clips	Observe Practice using UnitedStreaming
	Group Collaboration	Group UnitedStreaming Research Allow time for students to work in groups to research two forms of energy. Students work in pairs on the computers but share findings with their group partners.	Use UnitedStreaming to locate and download video clips. Download a video clip for presentation.
Prepare and present research findings	Demonstration and Guided Practice	Storyboard Preparation for PowerPoint Discuss and demonstrate storyboards Provide storyboard sheet Allow time for students to create a storyboard of their group PowerPoint Prepare and share Rubric Prepare template in Kidspiration for AT needs	Create storyboard to prepare for PowerPoint AT version: Use Kidspiration to create a layout of the PowerPoint
	Demonstration	Review and demonstrate using PowerPoint Backgrounds Inserting graphics Inserting video Creating links Inserting text	Follow directions to practice.
	Group Project	Create a multimedia PowerPoint Presentation Allow time for students to work in groups to create their PowerPoint presentations. Observe and monitor group behavior and progress. Use a checklist or rubric for assessment.	Create PowerPoint AT: Use computer equipped with Co-Writer Allow Special needs student to manipulate the mouse.
	Discussion/ Questioning	Prepare for presentation Discuss and model proper presentation skills Prepare and share Rubric	Be attentive Participate in discussion
	Group Presentation	Present findings to class Review expectations for audience and presenters Allow time for presentations Monitor class and complete rubrics	Listen attentively Present appropriately Participate with group
Differentiate among forms of energy including light, heat, electrical, sound, and solar energy	Independent Work	Create a Kidspiration File that shows differences and similarities among two forms of energy. Review use of Kidspiration Instruct students to create a Kidspiration file to compare and contrast two forms of energy of their choice Create and share a rubric for assessment.	Create a Kidspiration file to compare and contrast two forms of energy of their choice. Print file. Turn in to teacher.


	Discussion/ Questioning	Finish KWL chart	Complete KWL chart in folder. Contribute to the KWL chart through discussion.
	Discussion/ Questioning	Complete consensogram using different color	Students will evaluate the growth of their knowledge of specific energy topics.
Teacher Learning Goals	Instructional Strategies	Instructor Actions	Student Activities
Increase the amount of technology included in lesson plans that address considerations for classroom management.	Direct Instruction Coaching/ Questioning Guided Practice	Teach PowerPoint, Notestar, Co-Writer Use coaching, questioning skills to guide teacher in creating lessons as described. Guide teacher in practicing learned skills	Learn Create lesson plan Reflect Practice
Professional Learning Goals	Instructional Strategies	Things I will do to accomplish these goals
Improve abilities to coach teachers to reflect and think about their lesson objectives	Independent study Guided Practice Reflection	Read material from class and own research Participate in the on-line class activities Talk to experts in our district Practice skills with peers and teacher being mentored Ask for feedback from peers and mentored teacher Reflect on progress
Improve abilities to guide a teacher or group of teachers to create a technology rich unit, on the topic of their choice, which addresses the needs of diverse learners.	Independent study Guided Practice Reflection	Read material from class, own research and from AT team member.

	Independent study Guided Practice Reflection
Aspect 2: The social system
Describe the interpersonal structure of the instructional experience. This unit will be taught at the end of a FOSS kit on Solar energy and that unit will provide a great deal of the background information they will need. Students will work in collaborative groups to research, create a presentation, and present findings to class. Each group will be responsible for fully understanding at least two forms of energy and how they can be compared and contrasted. While students will study and work together to learn, they will be required to complete a comparison individually.
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? Present material, monitor students' research, assess students' research with the aid of a rubric, assess students' with the aid of rubrics as students create their PowerPoint presentations.
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). Coaching support: One-on-one meetings between coach and teacher Feedback- both directions Student lesson support: Data Projector for demonstrations Demonstration computer with speakers Internet access Computers in lab or wireless laptops in classroom Kidspiration PowerPoint Storyboard sheet Prepared Hotlist of web sites CD with UnitedStreaming Videos in case of Internet failure UnitedStreaming student logins Notestar student accounts Autism student will need: Co-Writer Kidspiration instead of a storyboard Step-by-step list for NoteStar use For oral presentation, allow for use of Write Out Loud or note cards with keywords and picture prompts
