Summarizing and Note TakingTo effectively summarize, students must delete some information, substitute some information

and keep some information.

Summarizing and Note Taking

Summarizing and Note Taking

Non-Linguistic

Representations

Non-linguistic representations should elaborate on the pre-existing knowledge or the newly

introduced knowledge. A variety of activities to produce non-linguistic

representations should be used.

• Creating Graphic Representations• Making Physical Models• Generating Mental Pictures• Drawing Pictures and Pictographs• Engaging in Kinesthetic Activities

Generating and Testing Hypotheses

Hypotheses generation and testing can be approached in a more inductive or deductive

manner. Inductive-Use general rules to make a prediction about a specific

event. Deductive-Specific pieces of information lead to general

conclusion

Identify Similarities and Differences

Presenting students with explicit guidance in identifying similarities and differences

enhances students’ understanding of ability to use knowledge

Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback

Students should be encouraged to personalize the teacher’s goals, adapting them to their personal needs and desires.

Students can effectively provide some of their own feedback. Non-authoritative feedback produces significant gain.

Cooperative Learning

Cooperative learning should be applied consistently and systematically, yet not

overused. Organizing groups based on ability should be done sparingly.

Cues, Questions and Advance Organizers

Cues, questions and advanced organizers should focus on what is important, rather than

what is unusual.

Daily Curriculum Available

Reinforcing Efforts and Providing Recognition

Reward is most effective when it is contingent on the attainment of some

standard of performance.

Homework and Practice

The amount of homework should

vary from elementary, to middle, to high school. Parent involvement in

homework should be kept at a minimum.
