CEI with Different Texts
Claim, Evidence, Interpretation
Compacting
Great for AIG students
Students skip parts of the curriculum they have mastered
3-step process
CompactingTeacher assesses the students to determine level of knowledge
Teacher creates plan for what the student needs to know and excuses the student from what he/she already knows
Teacher develops plans for enriched study
Entry Points
Students explore a topic in five ways based on Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory:
Narrative entry points: story
Logical-Quantitative entry points: use numbers or scientific approaches
Entry Points
Foundational entry points: examine the philosophy and vocabulary
Aesthetic entry points: focus on sensory features of the topic
Experiential entry points: use a hands on approach
Learning Contracts
Another good AIG strategy
Written agreement between teacher and student that will result in students working independently.
