Planning and Conducting Instruction Prepared By. Jasmine Malone and Gaberiel Ecby
Focus Question • Define the term activity and what are some types of activities you will implement into your class room?
Defining Activity • According to Emmer and Evertson (2009), an activity describes organized behavior that the teacher and students engage in for a common purpose (88).
Types of Activities • Opening the period-helps students make an orderly transition into the classroom and be ready for the rest of the period. • Checking classwork or homework-students check their own work. • Recitation-this activity is a question-and-answer sequence in which the teacher ask questions. • Content development-new information is presented or old information is elaborated on. • Discussion-encourages students to evaluate topics. • Seatwork-students engage in assignments that build on previously presented material. • Small group work-promotes greater comprehension. • Student presentations- demonstrate a procedure or skill. • Closing-brings the period to an end in an orderly fashion.
Things to Remember When Planning Activities • Objectives for daily lessons will help you decide what activities to use. • Know what skills or concepts must be learned to reach the objectives. • Know what tasks and activities will help students the most.
Common Sequence of Activities • Opening routine • Checking • Content development • Seatwork, group work, or discussion • Closing

Managing Behavior While Conducting • According to Kounin understanding TWO important concepts can help limitbehaviordisruptions. • Withitness-the degree to which the teacher corrects misbehavior before it intensifies or spreads and also targets the correct student • Overlapping-refers to how the teacher handles two or more simultaneous events.
Managing Movement While Conducting • Momentum-refers to pacing and it effective when lessons move along quickly. • Smoothness-refers to staying on track with the lesson; avoiding digressions and diversions that can lead to confusion
Checkpoint #1 • After watching the short video give two examples (relating to information covered thus far) on how the instructor could have handled the disruption better.

Managing Group Focus • Group Alerting-taking action to engage the attention of the whole class while individuals are responding • Encourage accountability-occurs when the teacher lets students know that their performance will be observed and evaluated in some manner.
Checkpoint #2 • Which of the two techniques were mentioned in the second video?
Applying Content to Real Life Situations • Students talk loudly at the beginning of the period. The teacher is interrupted while checking attendance, and the start of content activities is delayed.
Applying Content to the PPR • Chapter 5 covers all of domain I which embodies the following competencies: 001, 002, 003, and 004. • Domain I is approximately 34% of the exam.
What Do the Experts Say? • According to Fred Wood and Frank McQuarrie Jr. (1999), the best way to learn how to plan and conduct lessons effectively is not as student but with on the job training through team planning and team teaching (3).
Review • In order to effectively plan and conduct instruction the following must be done: • Plan according to objectives. • Present new content clearly. • Manage transitions. • Check for understanding. • Domain I: Competencies 1, 2, 3, and 4 must be used.
Closure Activity • Rate the presenters on the following: • Whether effective planning was visible. • The ability to present content clearly • The ability to manage transitions. • The ability to check for understanding.
