  10. Try reading this... The man leaned against the current as he waded, waist-deep, upstream. His hands steadied either end of the FURNWUNCH balanced across his shoulders. He had moved about 90 yards from the DNUP where he had entered the stream. A few yards ahead, a part of the wooded bank had been replaced by an ACNRID FRUD. He came abreast of it, and with effort, pressed the FURNWUNCH up and over his head, and then set it on top of the FRUD. He placed his hands on his hips, pulled his elbows back, and arched his back in an attempt to stretch out muscles that were knotted from long exertion. He relaxed somewhat and began a visual inspection of the FRUD. He moved close to it and reached under the water to explore its surface. Moving slowly, he started the search from the downstream end. At about the RONDTIP he stopped and probed one area intently. Satisfied that he had located a GRUNDLE, he continued to the upstream end. There was only one GRUNDLE to contend with. He retrieved the FURNWUNCH and cradled the heavy implement as he made his way back to the RONDTIP. He gingerly lowered the FURNWUNCH, holding it perpendicular to the FRUN. When it reached the GRUNDLE he slid it in its full length. He held it in place with one hand and turned the expansion lock handle until the instrument was seated tightly in place. His mission accomplished, he was clearly relieved. He waded easily downstream to the DNUP. From: Hargis, C. H. Curriculum Based Assessment: A Primer

  21. Independent Practice

  22. Independent Practice • Independent level • The students try to apply learning on their own • Teacher builds on the students’ competence and strengths

  23. Independent Practice Examples • Independent Reading and Writing • Informal Conferences • Homework and Assignments

  24. Balanced Literacy Instruction • Celebrate everything the learner does well • Raise expectations for all learners • Teach and assess more effectively and efficiently • Collaborate

  25. “The beating heart provides a good visual metaphor for instructional delivery in classrooms, where the balance between modeling instruction and guided practice pulses back and forth. Gathering kids in front for instruction, releasing them to practice, and then bringing them back to share their thinking represents the steady flow that is the heart of effective teaching and learning.” Balanced Literacy Instruction Strategies That Work Harvey & Goudvis
