  1. Hi, my name is Brittany Williams.
  2. And today in this presentation I will be talking
  3. about the different teaching techniques that will benefit our students
  4. and I will correlate this with what we have learned in our modules from our class.
  5. So let's get started.
  6. There are two different learning techniques that
  7. we will explore in this presentation.
  8. The first one is differentiated instruction
  9. And the 2nd 1 is personalized instruction.
  10. We will look at the effectiveness of these learning techniques
  11. and correlated with module 12 from our class this semester
  12. and how to promote a looking inward to the best practices for teaching.
  13. Here's our table of Contents. We will start with module 12
  14. so that we will have a little bit of insight on why I think that these
  15. two different teaching techniques will benefit us.
  16. We will then move into differentiated instruction,
  17. we will look at the background
  18. in a case study.
  19. We would then move to personalize learning,
  20. we will look at its background
  21. and the information and case studies for it.
  22. Now, we will start with module 12
  23. Sociology of Education.
  24. We read chapter 25
  25. Promise and peril
  26. charter schools,
  27. Urban school reform and the Obama administration by Pain and knowledge.
  28. We also read chapter 26
  29. effects of inequality and poverty versus
  30. teachers and schooling on America's youth by
  31. Berliner
  32. and the articles that are seen in the previous slide
  33. pain and knowledge believe that if the right amount of
  34. funding and oversight is put into a charter school,
  35. they can sufficiently impact schooling
  36. to increase test wars
  37. which seems to be the gold standard
  38. and evaluating
  39. charter schools and public schools these days.
  40. But this is a direct contradiction of the other article,
  41. Chapter 26 by the author Berliner,
  42. he believes that America simply cannot test its way out
  43. of its educational problem,
  44. which is true,
  45. ignoring the issue, doesn't get rid of it or solve it,
  46. it buries it. But then it becomes a big thing Again,
  47. I don't think that schooling should be based on just testing,
  48. which is the reason that pain and knowledge believe
  49. they're throwing funding
  50. at the school will solve the issues.
  51. I don't think that it will increase test scores all around.
  52. I do think that it will help some schools and I do think that resources and funding
  53. is a big issue,
  54. but I think that it would still be burying the real problem
  55. of our education system.
  56. It won't be getting to the root of the issue, which is what Berliner is trying to say.
  57. When he says that we can test our way out of our educational problems,
  58. we put so much emphasis on
  59. testing
  60. that we're not even noticing that
  61. putting this much influences on it is giving students anxiety,
  62. it is causing other issues.
  63. We are leaving students behind and it is causing self esteem issues.
  64. When our goal is to
  65. help these kids
  66. be successful.
  67. It's not to leave them behind because they didn't understand because
  68. when they don't understand it means that we didn't do our job
  69. efficiently.
  70. So
  71. I believe that we should take
  72. the emphasis off of testing as much. I'm not saying don't test,
  73. but don't hold it to the gold standard.
  74. We have O G. T. S. If you don't pass Euro GTs, you fail,
  75. you don't get to graduate.
  76. If you don't pass the test in your class, you fail, you get help back
  77. now, you are considered
  78. the non smart student among your peers.
  79. So I think that if we utilize different teaching methods,
  80. it would benefit the students in their success.
  81. Better teaching practices will better situate our students and our learners
  82. for success among all schools
  83. differentiated instruction.
  84. What is differentiated instruction?
  85. It is modifying the learner's needs for different groups of students,
  86. creating lesson plans based on the learning needs of the different groups,
  87. having a variety of lesson plans for different groups of learners
  88. utilizing technology in different resources to support learning strategies
  89. and the needs of the learners.
  90. Learners are dependent on the teacher In this
  91. situation,
  92. the teacher monitors and analyzes the students through assessments.
  93. In order to create more instruction and lesson plans.
  94. It is teachers center and this is because the teacher provides instructions
  95. to the group of learners and then they all have the same common goal
  96. according to the article differentiating instruction
  97. to include all students differentiated instruction
  98. integrates what we know about constructivist learning theory,
  99. learning styles and brain development.
  100. With empirical research on influencing factors of learners
  101. readiness interests and intelligent preferences towards student motivation,
  102. engagement and academic growth in schools.
  103. A very important component was mentioned in the article
  104. practical ways to guide teachers towards differentiation and evaluation tool
  105. and that is
  106. more students grasp information and adapt to it when they're learning styles,
  107. intelligences and interests are engaged.
  108. So students are more likely to excel and improve in their academic performance,
  109. which would lead us to an increase in student success,
  110. which is the ultimate goal for teachers
  111. by teachers, differentiating lesson plans,
  112. their process and assessments based on the level of readiness of their students,
  113. the student's interests and their preferences.
  114. It is expected that all students will start to show proficiency
  115. and the knowledge and the skills established.
  116. Generally differentiated instruction allows a proactive qualitative
  117. and a student centered approach towards teaching
  118. here. We'll talk about the important elements.
  119. One of the important elements of differentiated instruction
  120. is that it supplies the factor of choice,
  121. flexibility,
  122. continuous assessment and creativity that results
  123. in differentiating the lesson plans being taught
  124. or how students are understanding the concepts and skills
  125. or the way in which they will display that they have learned it
  126. before teachers start planning.
  127. It would be beneficial if they
  128. before implementing or they start planning.
  129. It is important to know
  130. what the goal is for each lesson or overall what your goal is for your students.
  131. This will make it a lot easier to implement and find a place to start so that
  132. a teacher isn't all over the place for losing sight of their goal.
  133. Now we will look at a case study.
  134. Ah This case study was completed on
  135. A Group of 6th Graders in an Algebra Class.
  136. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect
  137. of a differentiated teaching approach on 6th Grade Mathematics Lessons
  138. and algebra
  139. and two
  140. figure out
  141. if they had any academic success.
  142. The students that were chosen and the method that was used to
  143. pick these kids were completely random.
  144. They were all of lower socio
  145. socio economic level.
  146. They were from a school in Sarah cam County in Adana
  147. And 57 students were chosen.
  148. The only commonalities that these students have
  149. where their final grades in their genders.
  150. This study showed us that differentiated teaching approach
  151. in the 6th grade Algebra class was successful.
  152. The students had an increase in their grade
  153. and show positive cognitive and effective developments,
  154. which means that overall
  155. they started to understand our drama better
  156. and it reflected in their grade,
  157. they understood the assignments instead of just taking tests and moving forward.
  158. Sure,
  159. Now we will go to personalized learning.
  160. Yes.
  161. In this section,
  162. we will look at what personalized learning is.
  163. A short video clip and a comparison between personalized learning standards
  164. of practice in Georgia and those of a few different organizations.
  165. Personalized learning doesn't have just one simple definition.
  166. The more and more educators and research begins explore personal
  167. personalized learning. The more they figure out
  168. about the technique and figure out how it needs to
  169. be implemented in the best way is for it.
  170. Here we will look at a short clip of personalized learning that is explained.
  171. Personalized learning connects students and learning with their interest,
  172. talents and passions.
  173. The students get to actively participate in their own learning,
  174. which is a big deal.
  175. Students have a voice and a choice in their learning
  176. which gets them more engaged and want to learn.
  177. The learner drives their own learning.
  178. Georgia's standards of practice
  179. and the Professional standard Commission in Georgia
  180. outlines a set of standards for teachers
  181. and the preparation for
  182. personalized learning and their endorsement.
  183. The purpose of this program was to provide learners
  184. with a foundational understanding of what personalized learning is
  185. and the competencies necessary to effectively personalize a
  186. classroom or a course for a student.
  187. There were 10 standards of practice,
  188. prioritize executive function,
  189. learner, agency,
  190. asset based dispositions,
  191. growth and mastery, mindset,
  192. authentic and adaptive assessments,
  193. flexible educational resources,
  194. individualized path,
  195. dynamic communication,
  196. expanded collaboration
  197. and lastly, lifelong professional learning.
  198. We will now look at the strengths and weaknesses of this program. Study
  199. the strengths were that it spelled out the expectation and requirements that it had
  200. for educators in Georgia who would use this method and obtain the endorsement.
  201. It defined what personalized learning was
  202. and it also explained how teachers and coaches, Coaches would meet the standards,
  203. the weaknesses of this program was,
  204. it didn't explain the expectations of the students and the standards
  205. that would be set for our parents and the students.
  206. It didn't give any supporting data on how well it
  207. worked for all of the students that were involved.
  208. And it didn't get any specific examples for the teachers
  209. which left everything up to the teachers interpretation.
  210. It talked a lot about getting the endorsement instead of strictly
  211. on personalized learning which would have benefited a lot more.
  212. Now we will move on to charleston County School district.
  213. Charleston County School District is another place
  214. that participated in personalized learning.
  215. They were given 19.4 million to implement personalized learning in their schools.
  216. Students run through their lesson plans at their own
  217. pace by moving on to the next part.
  218. Once mastery is shown on each lesson,
  219. the students also got the chance to choose what they would learn
  220. and how they would learn it.
  221. This component outlined the different components of personalized learning.
  222. What does she look like in the classroom
  223. and what the goal for personalized learning is.
  224. The weaknesses of this study.
  225. Where that
  226. there wasn't any update on if the goals were met or
  227. if they expanded the program to the entire school district,
  228. we just have the initial they implemented it
  229. because they thought it would be a great idea to help their students
  230. succeed.
  231. We will now move on to the U. S.
  232. Department of Education's Office of Educational Technology.
  233. The U.
  234. S Department of Education's Office of
  235. Educational Technology defines personalized learning as
  236. instruction in which the pace of learning and the instructional
  237. approach are optimized for the needs of each learner.
  238. Lerner learning objectives,
  239. instructional approaches and instructional content
  240. and its sequencing may all vary based on the learners need.
  241. In addition,
  242. learning activities are meaningful and relevant to the learner,
  243. driven by their interests and often self initiated.
  244. The rodeo foundation of Delaware
  245. is a.
