Kathleen Khuu EDS 190 3-2-1 Reading Response #1 18 October 2013 3 Big Ideas from the reading 1.

There are seven-step effective techniques for teaching procedures and routines. They include (1) say what you will model and why, (2) model the behavior, (3) ask students what they noticed, (4) invite one or more students to model, (5) again, ask students what they noticed, (6) have all students practice, and (7) provide feedback. Interactive Modeling not only tells children how to do something, but it shows students exactly how to do what teachers expect. 2. It is important to take the time to plan and reflect what teachers want the students to model. Take the time to plan each lesson by thinking through what you, as the teacher, will do and say so that the children will have a mental image of what you expect from them. In addition, this will allow you to keep on track and avoid spontaneous additions. 3. Planning out how a routine will look, sound and feel is important in a classroom. There are different routines that students will have to learn such as bathroom, cafeteria, independent and whole group work time, and recess routines. It is important to model by breaking the routines into manageable steps on how these routines look like. 2 Connections 1. Last week at my placement, my CT introduced the kindergarteners on how to use individual whiteboards with markers, alphabet letters, and erasers to write words. It was their first time learning words and using whiteboards. She used Interactive Modeling to teach and show the children how the routine works. First, she told and showed the children where they were placed. Next, she modeled on how to get the materials and use the materials. After, she picked a student to model the correct way for the class to see. Then, she picked another student to model the incorrect way to use the materials and not what to do. Finally, all of the students were able to follow the routine on how to use the whiteboards. The students were attentive to the Interactive Modeling and were able to visually see how the routine works. 2. This reminded me of when I learned how to play the piano. I would see my piano teacher play a song, but it not the same as actually doing it on my own. I can follow her by seeing what notes she plays and while looking at her fingers and looking at the piano notes. However, it is important for me to practice what my piano teacher modeled. In addition, given effective feedback was helpful in order to improve. 1 Question 1. Interactive Modeling seems to take a lot of time during the school day. However, while observing the classroom schedule at my placement, I noticed that time is limited. How can a teacher use Interactive Modeling for all routines and plans effectively without feeling pressed on time?
