Questions W
Constructivism - __100% correct answer as This puts the child at the center of the
learning process, so that they can build and construct their own knowledge through
critical thinking and writing, inquiry, and discovery practices, such as read to learn and
write to learn. This is contrasted from more traditional methods of 'drill & kill' and rote
memorization. Constructivism values creating deeper connections to the content.
Guided Instruction - __100% correct answer as This part of the instructional process
follows presentation procedures and modeling. During guided instruction, the teacher
works with the students actively to support them in the development of a skill or strategy
or to complete a task. For example, during guided instruction, the teacher and students

teacher could then display that paragraph on an anchor chart to serve as an example
for when students are released into independent practice.
Co-shaping/Re-Voicing - __100% correct answer as This is a strategy used to reframe
student contributions to assist them in bridging the gap between what they are saying

guaranteed, nor can the quality or educational value counted upon.
Schema - __100% correct answer as This is the ordered background knowledge
students have on a particular topic, people, places, things, and events. . Tapping into a

Graphic Organizers - __100% correct answer as Visual devices designed to help the
reader note relationships between key concepts, main points, basic steps, or major
events in a selection. (After Strategy)
Reading workshop - __100% correct answer as Readers workshop is dedicated time in
the classroom to support reading skill development. It has multiple components to it,
including whole class (or small group) mini-lesson to focus on one skill, strategy, or
reading behavior. Then students shift to workshop time where they self-select a book to
practice the skill. Share time (conferencing) can happen in groups or 1-1. Based on
individual needs of students.
Guided Reading - __100% correct answer as Teacher meets with a small group of
students on same reading ability level and guides students through the reading passage
selected by the teacher. Mini-lesson focuses on a reading skill selected by the teacher.
Guided reading is part of "Readers Workshop". When other students are reading
independently, teacher is conducting GR.
Culturally responsive teaching practices - __100% correct answer as Pedagogy that
recognizes the importance of including students' cultural references in all aspects of
learning. Includes positive perspectives on parents and families, communication of high
expectations, learning within the context of culture, student-centered instruction,
culturally mediated instruction, reshaping the curriculum, teacher as faciliator.
Lexile - __100% correct answer as The level of a book is determined from the use of an
algorithm that measure how difficult the text is based on aspects such as the length and
complexity of words, sentences, and paragraphs. Teachers can look up lexile scores for
core literature to determine if the book is leveled appropriately for the class or a
particular student.
cross curricular - __100% correct answer as This teaching and learning fosters
connections among content areas. For example, reading a set of poems about
nocturnal animals and then studying the animals in science.
