Differentiated Instruction

In this first article it mentions how we could use different strategies to teach ELL students
mathematics. This article explains the importance of classroom communication and how to
eliminate obstacles effectively. I can use this article in my classroom to differentiate my
instructions often because they will benefit all of the students.

In this article, it talks about how choose curriculum with features that are associated with
improved learning. It explains the many reasons of why choosing the correct curriculum is
challenging because of how important it and how the content builds on top of eachother. I can
use this article effectively in my classroom by ensuring the curriculum offers students
differentiated instructions such as guided readings, small groups, etc.

Collaboration

In this article, the authors explore relationships between curriculum collaboration and department
chairs and faculty and how they tie together, along with themes in the departments associated
with curriculum collaboration. Another thing this article does a good job of explaining the
studies of faculty and department chairs descriptions of collaboration. This is something that I
use towards my own teaching, by offering to have curriculum collaboration. This could be a
good idea for similar subjects, such as math and science.

Instructional Practices

In this article, the authors implies multiple different teaching strategies that improves algebra
knowledge in the middle and high schools. This guide offers students to get a better grasp of
algebra, by offering deeper understandings. I will incorporate this article into my own teaching,
by making sure that the students can deeply understand a concept to the point where they’ve
mastered it.

Inquiry Based Learning

In this article, the author offers inquiry based learning through the environment. I think this is a
great idea to incorporate more into current lessons. This way the students will benefit in learning
in different environments to expand their learning possibilities.

Discourse Discussion Material

In this article, I got to discover different ideas practices that I could incorporate into my own
teaching. I find this to be very useful, especially as a first-year educator. These practices brought
many instructional ideas into mind while I was reading. I will definitely use these practices in the
future.

Technology in the Classroom

In these articles, I was able to discover how to use technology for educational purposes. I was
able to practice using these websites to actually try to use them for immediate feedback. Using
these websites, I figured that I could incorporate them to introduce new sections or as examples
to do in class. Personally, I believe that technology in the classroom will become more and more
popular as we progress, so becoming familiar with technology sooner than later will be more
beneficial.
