Contextual Aspects
In a 1 page paper, demonstrate your understanding of contextual aspects and their connection to the characteristics of reflective teachers and the myriad decisions they must make. Your introduction should clearly articulate the topic of this response, and subsequent paragraphs should illustrate the contextual aspects, drawing from
both the readings and your own experiences to support your ideas.
2.
After reviewing the various learning theories or perspectives (developmental,behavioral, and cognitive), you may realize that the model you utilize for instruction reflects an eclectic approach.
In a 1 page paper , explain how these theories or perspectives influence the various components of your instructional plan. Be explicit in defining the various theories, and incorporate a balance of texts to support statements.
3.
Diversity is a complex term that includes race, ethnicity, and disabilities. As a teacher
,you are faced with meeting the needs of the entire population of your class. Although
this is an overwhelming challenge, teachers do make a difference because they can affect change on a personal level. In a 1 page paper
,discuss key instructional practices that would ensure instructional equity for all. Insights from your own experiences may be included!

The authors of Pathways to Understanding
suggest a metaphor of “teacher as weaver.”
Use another metaphor or analogy relating the teacher to another job or role to
demonstrate the interrelationship of the eight patterns described. Create and link your metaphor to teaching and learning in a 1 page paper.
Relate the attributes of the new job or role with the attributes of learning. Be sure to focus on each of the eight learning patterns.
5.
Instructional strategies are tools that must be utilized appropriately to be effective.
Understanding research helps educators better understand the potential of various instructional techniques. After reading Chapter 1 in the text
Classroom Instruction that Works, explain the importance of meta-analysis and effect size for studies. If you were reading about Strategy X and it had an effect size of .88, what would that
mean with regard to the potential achievement impact of the strategy?
(The Conversion Table on page 160 will be helpful.)
Why do you suppose identifying similarities and differences has the potential to increase student achievement? In a 1 page paper, demonstrate your understanding of effect size and its potential
for increasing student achievement. Specifically reference the potential for demonstrating increased student achievement by using identifying similarities and differences as an instructional technique.
