SCRIPTS for Teaching Concepts/Vocabulary

Spring 2013

We have ONE huge assignment---designing curriculum and instruction, from state objectives all the way down to the wording of lessons, for a grade level.

Here are the working copies.

12:30 M/W class

2:00 T/Th class

 

All of the resources to do this are found in hot links within the main document that we will fill out.

Most of the material you use for the content of a curriculum will be in textbooks that your school supplies, and from additional sources that YOU get from the internet and other materials.  But sometimes, in addition to textbooks and internet docs, you will use PROGRAMS---that is, materials that are already organized as lessons with scripts that help you to communicate effectively.  Still, you need to know how to evaluate, select or reject, and improve programs. So, as PART of developing curriculum and instruction for a grade level, we will evaluate and improve a program.

 

Here a  few docs to get you started.

What is reality?

What is knowledge?

How is knowledge constructed?

 Here’s a glossary.

Teacher proficiency.  You need a comprehensive stock of useful knowledge from which all teaching practices----curriculum, instruction, assessment---are derived.
