Models of Teaching: Connecting Student Learning With Standards features classic and contemporary models of teaching appropriate to elementary and secondary settings. Authors Jeanine M. Dell′Olio and Tony Donk use detailed case studies to discuss 10 models of teaching and demonstrate how the models can incorporate state content standards and benchmarks, as well as technology standards. This book provides students with a theoretical and practical understanding of how to use models of teaching to both meet and exceed the growing expectations for research-based instructional practices and student achievement.
Key Features
- Shows how each model looks and sounds in classrooms at all levels: Each model is illustrated with two detailed case studies (elementary and secondary) and post-lesson reflections.
- Offers detailed descriptions of the phases of each model: Each model is accompanied by a detailed chart and discussion of the steps of the model.
- Applies technology standards and performance indicators: Each chapter addresses how the particular model can be implemented to meet technology standards and performance indicators.
- Connects philosophies of curriculum and instruction: This book connects each model to a philosophy of curriculum and instruction that undergirds that model so teachers understand both how to teach and why.
- Promotes student interaction with the text: Exercises at the end of each chapter provide the opportunity for beginning teachers to work directly with core curricula from their own state, and/or local school district curricula.
