Question 1:
True or False: If students are able to replicate steps in the
procedure with limited guidance or prompting, the teacher
should move to Guided Practice.
Answer: True
Explanation: When students demonstrate the ability to
replicate steps with limited guidance, they are ready to
transition from the modeling phase to guided practice. This
indicates they have acquired sufficient understanding to begin
practicing with teacher support .
Question 2:
True or False: To maintain a brisk pace, the teacher always
limits the amount of feedback provided to the student to save
time.
Answer: False
Explanation: While maintaining a brisk pace is important in
explicit instruction, teachers should not limit feedback to save
,time. Immediate, specific feedback is a critical component of
effective instruction and should not be sacrificed for pace .
Part 2: Analyzing Instructional Scenarios
Scenario A: Reading Lesson with Prefixes
Mr. L is a 2nd-grade special educator teaching a reading lesson
about decoding. The learning outcome is that students will be
able to decode words with the common prefixes *re-* and *un-
*.
T: "Today we will learn how to read words with prefixes re- and
un-. Who can remind me what a prefix is?" [S: "a group of letters
that come before a root word."] T: "Right!"
T: "This is the prefix re-. When re- appears at the beginning of a
word, it usually means again." Point to the word replay. "Louis,
read the word." [S: "relay"]
T: Point to the word redo. "Alec, read the word." [S: "red"]
T: Point to the word resize. "Aby, read the word." [S: Well, I think
this word means to do it again because it has re…]
T: "Now it's your turn to read words with a partner."
Question 3:
True or False: The teacher moves to Guided Practice when
students are ready.
,Answer: True
Explanation: The teacher transitions students to partner work
(a form of guided practice) after providing modeling and initial
practice opportunities. This follows the gradual release of
responsibility model where students practice with support
before independent work .
Question 4:
True or False: The teacher moves to Independent Practice
when students are ready.
Answer: False
Explanation: The teacher moves to partner work (guided
practice) rather than independent practice. Students have not
yet demonstrated mastery through multiple practice
opportunities with teacher support before moving to
independent work .
Question 5:
True or False: The teacher elicits frequent responses.
Answer: True
Explanation: The teacher calls on multiple students (Louis, Alec,
Aby) throughout the lesson to respond, ensuring frequent
student engagement and checking for understanding .
, Question 6:
True or False: The teacher provides immediate, specific
feedback.
Answer: False
Explanation: The teacher does not provide corrective feedback
when Louis reads "replay" as "relay" or when Alec reads "redo"
as "red." Immediate, specific feedback would involve correcting
the error and providing the correct pronunciation .
Scenario B: Mathematics Lesson with Parentheses
Ms. B is a 6th-grade special educator teaching a lesson about
evaluating numerical expressions using algebraic thinking. The
learning outcome is that students will accurately evaluate
expressions that use parentheses.
T: "Today we will learn about how to evaluate expressions that
contain parentheses. Who can tell me, according to PEMDAS,
expressions within _____ should be evaluated first? Larissa?" [S:
"parentheses" T: "You're right, we evaluate expressions in
parentheses first."]
T: "So, if we have the expression 2 + (5 – 1) x 3, we would
compute (5 – 1) first because it's inside the parentheses. Why
would we compute (5 – 1) first, everyone? [S: "because it's inside
the parentheses."] T: "That's right! We first compute what's inside
the parentheses."
T: "Let's take a look at this expression: 4 x (1 + 1). Who can tell
me the first step in evaluating this expression?" [S: "1+1"] T:
"Good work!"
