Name:_____________________________Date:___________
You are the coach of a soccer team. The team has a star player who wins many games for the team. The other players on the team love to play, but they are not very good. Is it better to win most of your games by letting the star player play all the time, or is it better to let all team members play in every game even though the team may lose many games? State your decision and explain your reasons for thinking the way you do.
CAREER TEACHER HANDBOOK: PIC DESCRIPTOR #3 The ability to model the use of new
information and the teacher’s expectations for student performance is one of the most important descriptors for this indicator. Effective modeling is not merely explaining or telling students about the strategy or new learning or about how to do it. Modeling requires thoughtful planning and the inclusion of a think-aloud that will give students the experience of the strategy so that they can better understand the thought process behind each step of the new learning.
