How many students need to know the content before we move on??
*What is the BIG idea? If truly relevant to life of child, must have 100% knowing. If 100% of students are not going to learn it, what's the point of teaching it?
EX: Bread Mold- be wise on what to buy, what molds and what doesn't, be aware of food quality, etc.
IF students are stubborn to their one notion of understanding, let them explore as long as it takes them to reach the level/area of understanding that you're requesting.
Take the time to actually teach students the information that way you're actually using time wisely vs. touching on basics year after year after year.
Powerpoint:
Slide 1- Misconceptions, Alternative Frameworks
Can happen right along with right or correct conceptions
Can simply be a mix up of two concepts or facts and only need clarification
Stick around because it is easiest to add to rather than rid of
Assessment Strategies (Keeley article)
3 Stages:
1. Pre-Formative= Diagnostic- to find out students' existing ideas-> Elicitation Stage
2. Formative= monitor student learning and/or to provide feedback to students on their learning ->Exploration and Concept Development Stage
3. Summative= to measure extent to which students have achieved learning goal-> Application stage
Keeley's book gives a few lessons with topics & probes! Differentiation too.
