Study Notes

Learning Strategies and Methods

  • Inquiry-based learning occurs when students conduct experiments before observing results.
  • Activate prior knowledge before a lesson for better engagement and understanding.
  • Provide graphic organizers to ELL students to enhance reading comprehension and support detailed identification.

Teacher Interactions and Collaboration

  • Teachers should collaborate with ESOL and special education (SPED) teachers to assist ELL and learning-disabled students respectively.

Classroom Management and Assessment

  • Teachers must maintain confidentiality regarding any health information they possess about a student.
  • Observations are preferred over test scores to assess student proficiency, recognizing that some students may not perform well on exams.
