9 Ways to Differentiate Your Whole Group Instruction Differentiating your instruction can be overwhelming. I get it. When you hear the word "differentiation" do you automatically start breaking your class into small groups? Or maybe you start scouring Pinterest for ways to differentiate the task students will do after you teach a lesson. Ten books every teacher should read Plato’s Republic, Rousseau’s Émile and Dewey’s Democracy and Education – there’s a strong case to be made, as Dennis Hayes has, that these are the only books on education that teachers need to read. But if I was about to enter the classroom as a teacher for the first time or was looking to improve my practice, I would probably want to read something with more practical advice on what I should be doing and, more importantly, on what I shouldn’t. Much of what happens in a classroom is highly variable and hard to define, but over the last 10 years a wealth of books has sought to draw together evidence from other fields and provide a series of “best bets” on what might have the greatest impact on student learning. Here are just a few of them.

[livre] L’essentiel de la pédagogie Nous avons ici même parfois égratigné Alain Bentolila, dont nous n’avions pas spécialement apprécié les dernières publications et interventions. Mais ici, on ne peut que saluer la démarche consistant à demander à d’éminents spécialistes et experts de nous donner quelques clés pour entrer pleinement dans la pédagogie dans tous ses états. Cet ouvrage sera fort utile pour préparer un concours mais aussi pour réfléchir à ce que nous pouvons faire pour donner du sens et de l’efficacité aux pratiques d’enseignement.

Making Failure Harder Work Than Passing Chemistry seems to inspire a D mentality: A significant number of students just want to pass the class to meet their graduation requirement, and do it with as little effort as possible. Take Evelyn, for example. A junior in my chemistry class in the spring of 2015, Evelyn was bright, but she didn’t see chemistry as relevant to her present or future, so she kept her head low, didn’t engage with the material, missed about 20 percent of the class, and seemed to target a grade of 60 percent. That was at the beginning of the year.

Thriving in Your First Years as a Teacher It is a universal truth that early career teachers are overwhelmed. Between classroom management issues, lesson plans, and grading, we’re oftentimes drowning. With all the pressure to simply survive our first few years of teaching, doing anything else in the name of improvement may seem impossible.

La confiance à l’épreuve des rencontres parents-professeurs Quand on est professeur, on rencontre des gens, beaucoup. Des braves gens souvent, des parents d’élèves qui viennent avec leurs questions, leurs angoisses, leurs désirs d’avenir – pour la majorité d’entre eux. Le désir d’un avenir réussi pour leurs enfants. Les rencontres entre parents (ou responsables légaux) et professeurs font partie du rituel scolaire, elles sont l’un des grands rendez-vous de l’année. Et c’est souvent lors de ces rencontres que la question de la confiance – question d’actualité semble-t-il – se pose avec le plus d’acuité : c’est à cette occasion que nous nous devons à la fois d’inspirer et de donner confiance.

Framing Difficult Feedback for Parents A standard approach is the praise sandwich or feedback sandwich, which attempts to sidestep blame, conflict, and hurt feelings by surrounding negative feedback with positive statements. After opening with praise (“Johnny is so energetic”), the teacher brings up a specific critique (“With all that energy, he can become quite disruptive in class”), and closes on a positive note (“But he adds so much to our learning community”). While this tactic remains popular, it’s not always effective: Since people tend to remember the first and last things they hear, they focus on the praise at the ends and not the critique in the middle.

Premier poste : dix conseils pour entrer dans le métier Dix conseils pour entrer dans le métier : • Restez vous-même. • Gardez une vie culturelle personnelle. • Ce que vous enseignez vous passionne ? N’hésitez pas à le montrer ! Sample Report Card Comments for Any Teaching Situation Effective parent-teacher communication is a cornerstone to effective parent involvement. Each progress report and report card provides an opportunity for teachers to give parents insight into their child’s performance beyond a letter or numerical grade for conduct or academics. Parents want to know how their child is doing, but they also want to know that their teacher gets their child. Report cards also let students learn what they are doing well … as well as areas for improvement. Teachers can do their part by writing thoughtful, engaging comments.
