Synopsis

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 they can be connected to state content standards and benchmarks, as well as technology standards. This book provides readers with the theoretical and practical understandings of how to use models of teaching to both meet and exceed the growing expectations for research based instructional practices and student achievement.

About this title

Review

“The models approach provides a way of connecting theory and practice in ways that other approaches do not. Some of the texts that I have used discuss theory separately from application, and it's always a challenge for students to grasp the connection and figure out how they could use the knowledge in practice. I have seen the models approach used with a graduate level course in instructional technology that I used years back. It's good to see that applied to an undergrad course. I have ongoing concerns about starting with technology. I would much rather focus on the teaching and then figure out the technology. Using a models approach has the potential to give students a stronger conceptual base into which they can think about technology.” (Kedmon Hungwe 2007-10-01)

"It is a good textbook for teacher-educators as well as for teachers who are facing evolutionary changes in the pedagogy of classroom instruction and how this classroom instruction could be supplemented by ICT―web-based student study site...This publication is a good case for useful contemporary reference." (V.P. Garg Journal of Educational Planning and Administration 2008-08-14)

Synopsis

'This textbook will be a great asset for beginning teachers having to integrate their pre-service training with the standards-based curricula in schools' - Amany Saleh, Arkansas State University '[This is] a practical text focusing on current practices in education and how various models of teaching can address the national standards' - Marsha Zenanko, Jacksonville State University 'This text provides a visual understanding using excellent case studies so students can "see" models of teaching in the classroom' - Margaret M. Ferrara, University of Nevada, Reno Models of Teaching: Connecting Student Learning with Standards presents models of teaching as they relate to content standards and benchmarks and the creative process of original curriculum development. These topics are treated in both conceptual and practical ways. Whether it is in the explanation of the standards and benchmarks or in the descriptions of the models themselves, the tone of this text is conversational.It illustrates ten models of teaching, introduces philosophical approaches to curriculum and instruction, and provides a process for curriculum development that addresses content standards, benchmarks, and grade level expectations.

Key Features: A detailed case study is at centerpiece of each of the models chapter, followed by a thorough discussion of the stages of that model. These complete case studies provide a true sense of the movement of lessons based on the models of teaching. Teachers' post-teaching reflections that follow the case studies provide scaffolding for deliberation and reflection in preservice teachers' practice. Post-teaching reflection in these sections relate very specifically to student responses and teacher actions that took place during the lessons. Each chapter promotes student interaction with the text, with questions for class discussion at the end of each one. These exercises are authentic assessments that will provide the opportunity for beginning teachers to work directly with core curricula from their own state, and // or local school district curricula.
