From my personal experience as a substitute teacher, I can confirm that I consider all of these points when I address my students, as a whole, in groups and individually. They are in fact the basis upon which I choose how to help students learn the concepts their regular teachers offer. I believe they are essential or fundamental to how we teach; everyone considers them to varying depths. It is nice to see the teaching unpacked this way though.<br /><br />For the most part, I ask and answer these questions in a few seconds, making use of the tools I have available to me. If I were planning lessons, I would research tools and methods and likely get different, perhaps better, results.<br /><br />I think you need to also add a knowledge of your students, both of their abilities and willingness to learn specific topics from you at specific times; knowledge of the content (and beyond); and knowledge of the mechanics of the tools you decide to use.<br /><br />Interesting concept: developing understanding instead of making sense. I glean a bit of what it means, but I am not sure I quite understand it. I guess that means I am in the "making sense" phase of the statement.<br /><br />I particularly like your question about providing purpose to one's instructional choices. And the last question, about worthiness of doing, definitely has to take student readiness and willingness in account.<br /><br />ShawnShawn Urbanhttp://bit.ly/stefdigsubnoreply@blogger.com
