Participants of the Teaching Fundamentals Academy will be guided through the process of content acquisition for students and how to help students make connections.
Participants will take part in a demonstration lesson and break down the activities and strategies used to make connections for students. This will include, but is not limited to:
- Identifying Concepts
- Use of Vocabulary
- Bringing an awareness to Misconceptions
- Scaffolding from where students are to the knowledge and skills the teacher wants them to attain
Participants will also work on how to create a lesson, or mini-lesson, to incorporate these components.
