The Four Part Lesson TEEP Whats that then Teacher Technologies. Yesterday I started writing a blog post in response to several thoughtsquestions that Ive heard mumbled around me. I addressed the first of these see below in some detail and would like to thank all of the practising teachers out there who supported me and our profession with their responses on Twitter, Facebook and the post itself. Teachers in the field dont plan lessons so why am I doing a lesson plan. Now, the audience I still have in mind has an assessment due very soon and in it they have been given the Four Part Lesson Plan to work with. Hopefully yesterdays blog post has done something to help them understand why were planning a lesson so lets move on to the purpose of that particular planning frame and how to use it with an IWB Ready to put your TPACK hats onI dont really get what the four part lesson plan is all about. How do I use an IWB in a four part lesson Am I making a notebook lesson What is this Four Part Lesson all about The framework youve been given to work with comes from the idea of the Accelerated learning Cycle. It came from the TEEP Teacher Effectiveness Enhancement Program There are some excellent ideas there about planning and what makes a good teacher Its free to sign up too. One of the 5 underpinning elements of TEEP is the accelerated learning cycle. Accelerated learning is the term that the TEEP model uses to describe the techniques and strategies that we use to actively engage learners in learning. It is based on research of brain function, student motivation and multiple intelligences and provides a platform for life long learning by promoting the importance of understanding how we learn as much as what we learn. The key ideas of accelerated learning can be briefly summarised as Making connections with prior knowledge and experiences. Experiencing the content of the curriculum through the senses. Supporting students to take risks in their learning. I am trying to install a program from a shared network drive. Here is the code I am putting into the command prompt. ComJasonRMEasiteach.

Regular review of learningWhats supposed to happen in each part So how do the dot points above translate into the planning frame youve been givenHeres another useful diagram I was given when I was teaching with this cycle at Shenley Academy. Descriptions of each stage of The Four Part Accelerated Learning CycleTheres a great little tool here to help fill in ideas whilst youre brainstorming. Now, as you know, with the help of my colleagues back at Shenley, Im currently putting together a list of different types of activity that could fit under each of these headings but in the meantime what could I suggest Connection The connection phase is all about helping your students to see the big picture. What do they already know have the already experienced and what will they know have experienced by the end of the lesson. Its also about creating a moment for students to connect with your learning environment. So, if weve just come in from P.

Dont forget theres not too much new learning going on here Bear that in mind when deciding how much time to spend connecting Some practical ideas Everything should be ready to go when they get there.

Activation Now. Weve got the big picture, were settled, ready to learn. Our students are in an environment where they feel safe, supported and ready to go. So lets get started In the activation phase we need to help students begin their journey with their new knowledge. Traditionally this might have been seen as the bit where the Teacher Led TL discussion happens, the explicit teaching. In this model however, the challenge is to let the students engage with the new ideas themselves. Can you create a situation in which they explore content until they make conclusions of their own Youre going to need to know your students really well. What are the barriers that will be in their way How can you help them to remove themselves Some Practical Ideas. Create a problem pose a question and scaffold the task so that they can answer it themselves by exploring. Model a technique and ask students to raise questions ideas as they go. Immerse them in the topic. Solidworks Product Activation Crack here. Give them a head of data and ask them what they think it represents. If creative writing have the sounds of the place theyre writing about playing, let them eat the food that the might be tasting in the description, touch the objects that would be around them etc. Make them passionate about the topic by relating it to real life. Demonstrate Phase. The most important thing to understand here is that this is NOT referring to the teacher demonstrating anything. The people demonstrating here are your students. This one of the most exciting and important moments. Its the moment where the ideas the students have activated in their minds are beginning to form their conclusions. Its where they start to share their new knowledge and help each other to improve and develop it as we head towards that deeper learning. Some Practical ideas. Ask them to critique a work sample and pull out whats going well and what needs to be developed Assessment for learning it neednt be someone from their classes work but its nice if it is Two stars positives and one wish target is a nice way of ensuring positivity. Model this first against the success criteria on the IWBEach one teach one Ask them to explain what theyve discoveredlearned to someone else in the group and see how its the samedifferent to someone elses ideas. IWB You could use a document camera and ask students to explain to the class what theyre doing with their own work on the big screen. Group Presentation. Consolidate Phase. So if weve already demonstrated what we know then whats this fourth bit about then This is the part where students reflect on what theyve learnt. Its where we given them more time to look at their new knowledge and evaluate it. Its the most important part of the lesson and, because its at the end, its often the bit thats rushed Check your lesson pace to make sure that doesnt happen. Students need the opportunity to think about what theyve learnt otherwise they might not retain the new information. They need chance to consider How did they get this knowledge How well did they do Its the part where they start to make connections to the content and what they might do with it elsewhere in other subjects or in real life. Some Practical ideas. At the very least use your questioning skills and the lesson objectives to tease out some of this much needed reflection perhaps have some pre prepared questions hidden on the IWB as prompts Provide them with a A Review Triangle . Ask them to list the three most important things they learnt today.
