  3. Inquiry Direct Instruction Two Approaches to Student Learning

  4. Direct Instruction Inquiry Our Dilemma What commonalities do they have? EDI 5E’s How do they compliment each other?

  5. 5E EDI • Lesson Objective • Activate Prior Knowledge • Concept Development • Importance • Skill Development • Guided Practice • Closure • Independent Practice • Engage • Explore • Explain • Evaluate Throughout • Extend

  6. 5E/EDI Connections

  7. 5E Lesson Plan Initiates the learning task. The activity should make connections between past and present learning experience and anticipate activities and organize students’ thinking toward the learning outcomes and current activities. Provides students with a common base of experiences within which current concepts, processes, and skills are identified and developed. Focuses students’ attention on a particular aspect of their engagement and exploration experiences; provides opportunities to demonstrate their conceptual understanding, process skills, or behaviors. This phase also provides opportunities for teachers to introduce a concept, process, or skill. Challenges and extends students’ conceptual understanding and skills. Through new experiences, the students develop deeper and broader understanding, more information, and adequate skills.

  9. 5E/EDI Lesson Cycle

  10. Summary • EDI components should be a part of every lesson. • 5E should only be used if sufficient content knowledge is present or provided prior to the lesson. • EDI components are used in 5E lessons. • 5E and EDI have different places in the lesson cycle. • 5E and EDI are compatible teaching strategies.

  11. First Steps • Teacher • Training • 5E’s/EDI Connections • 5E’s/EDI Lesson Cycle • Collaboration – TLC (Lesson Study) • Feedback – TLC (Lesson Study) • Administration • Training • 5E’s/EDI Connections • 5E’s/EDI Lesson Cycle • Communication

  12. Next Steps • Post lessons on District website • Incorporate Inquiry based checkmarks into District walkthrough forms • Continued communication/training with Administration • Continued dialogue/training with teachers regarding 5E/EDI instruction
