This is a check list I use to remind myself to incorporate educational psychology or“how students learn” into lesson design and my teaching methodology. I hope you find it useful.
STRUCTURE OF LESSONS
Clear Goals – specific learning outcomes for this lesson
Warm Up
Presentation
Controlled Practice
Freer Practice
Follow-up
WARM UP
activate schemata
what do students already know?
a two to five minute introduction to a learning goal or theme
INDUCTIVE vs DEDUCTIVE LEARNING
let the students figure it out
then present the rule
TALK TIME
increase student talk time
decrease teacher talk time
work in pairs
work in groups
MULTI-SENSORY TEACHING / LEARNING
use all the senses in lessons whenever possible:
seeing, hearing, speaking, smell, taste, touch, emotion
visual aids, realia, videos, music, reading, speaking, games, moving around, not sitting all day, cooking...
Happy teaching !!!
