Clear Instructions: When assigning work, I break down tasks into clear, manageable steps. I also explain the purpose of each assignment, so students understand the skills or knowledge they’re developing.
Modeling: I model what a high-quality response or piece of writing looks like. For instance, in English, I might walk through analyzing a text or writing an introduction, so students have a concrete example.
Differentiation: Not all students learn the same way. I provide various ways to approach assignments, offering both visual and textual aids, and allowing students to demonstrate understanding in different formats (e.g., written, oral presentations, or creative projects).
Feedback Loops: I emphasize the importance of feedback. After an assignment, I provide constructive, specific feedback that students can use to improve. For English, this could involve pointing out areas of strength in argumentation or analysis and suggesting improvements for clarity or grammar.
Scaffolded Learning: Especially in English, I scaffold assignments, starting with simpler tasks (like sentence construction or paragraph development) and gradually moving to more complex assignments (like essays or research papers). This builds confidence and skills progressively.
Interactive Sessions: I create space for discussion and peer review. For English assignments, I encourage students to share their work and receive feedback from classmates, helping them view writing as a process that involves revision and growth.
