Teaching Goals, Methods, and Procedures
Teaching goals, methods, and procedures is one of the three
related elements of classroom instruction.
These elements, I believe are the most important for creating the
foundation of the classroom. Goals are reasons the information is being taught.
Many ideas are discussed but unless there is a goal to what the teacher wants
the students to learn, there is no foundation. Once there is a foundation, the
teacher can figure out the methods to which the information is conveyed. As
teachers decide the method, they can also decide what technology they can use
or the students can use. The content can be passed on through creative writing,
activities in groups, journals, simulations, online tutoring and many others. I
feel this is important and an idea I would use in my future endeavors. Once the
methods are decided on the procedures can be made. These are made through
scheduling and grouping of students and then how much time will be used on each
lesson. Through the goals/ reasons, methods/ strategies, and procedures is an
important element a part of teaching.
Test Assessments
With norm-referenced tests which compare student’s
performance with their peers, I feel that tests should not decide what a
student receives as a grade. According to our book the results tend to follow a
bell-shaped curve. IQ tests are considered norm-referenced assessments.
Criterion-referenced tests are exams which compare a student’s performance to a
specific objective or standard. There is not a curve which means students can
do very well or poorly on the exam. Another type of assessments is the
standard-based assessment are created to see if the students are at the
expected level they are supposed to be at. The assessment can be local,
district, state or even national levels.

Your Piktochart definitely helps to clarify the primary concepts in lesson planning in a visual way - good to see. There are many aspects to lesson planning and determining how to best help students learn. Although many think that once a lesson is created, it is good for re-use, I would guess that most effective instruction involves at the minimum 'tweaking' and often a 'major overhaul' thus making it a continuous process.
