Using an Effective Instructional Cycle to Leverage Student Learning Across All Tiers of Instruction
As educators, we all have the same goal – to see students succeed. In their book, Research into Practice, Hofmeister and Lubke (1990) state that when effective teachers teach well-structured subjects, they have the following elements in their lesson planning: review, objective statement, new materials in small steps with clear and detailed instruction, active practice, and continual monitoring of student understanding. A good lesson can be ineffective when not presented in a way that leads to student acquisition of the concept or skill. An effective instructional cycle includes criteria to gauge the student’s level of knowledge before moving to the next step. This ongoing assessment determines the teacher actions to be taken to meet the needs of all students. Each of the three tiers of instruction require the same steps. The Effective Instructional Cycle addressed in this session includes elements that are consistent with the theoretical recommendations of current research.
- By the end of the session, participants will articulate what a learning objective is and how it works within an effective instructional cycle.
- By the end of the session, participants will be able to state each element of an effective instructional cycle.
- By the end of the session, participants will be able to relate the importance of each effective instructional cycle element on student learning.
