  2. 6 T’s - Characteristics of an effective Literacy Teacher

  3. Differentiating instruction • Good teaching= connecting kids and content • Doing what it takes to adapt how we teach so what we teach takes hold in the lives and minds of students • Diverse learners prevent one lesson plans from fitting all a class’s needs; thus teachers are responsible for modifying each lesson to fit a range of individual needs. • All students need ‘emotional safety, appropriate challenges, and environments in which they can construct meaning based on their previous knowledge. Pg. 24

  4. Enriched environment has… • Teachers that provide positive support • Encourage risk taking without fear of ridicule • Allow social interaction • Provide challenging but attainable tasks • Foster an atmosphere of experimentation and discovery • Give students choices • Expect students to become active rather than passive learners

  5. Teachers should Motivate their students • Motivation that is temporary and superficial between learning that is permanent and internalized. • The failure to align school curricula with students’ interests ad outside-of-school competencies is though to be behind the general erosion of engagement in reading and learning.

  6. Why do students who enter school so eager to learn lose that desire only three or four years later? Reasons for the decline in the motivation to read Recommendations to fix the issues Make sure all students are reading text that are not too difficult for them, especially in front of others. Avoid having children read in front of the whole class too frequently. Instead divide them up into small groups and tailor your teaching strategy to the needs of the group in order to increase their reading proficiency Choral or Buddy Reading • Self-consciousness about reading proficiency • Emphasis on competition • Lack of interest in assigned reading

  7. Why do students who enter school so eager to learn lose that desire only three or four years later?

  8. Why do students who enter school so eager to learn lose that desire only three or four years later? Reasons for the decline in the motivation to read Recommendations to fix the issues Give more choice of text early in their reading experience; if given certain texts make sure t expands their knowledge on topics of interest. Encourage them to share the knowledge they have just acquired. Children enjoy telling others about their new information.
