Instructional Delivery

Teachers of science effectively engage students in learning by using a variety of instructional strategies in order to meet individual learning needs.

The purpose of the instructional delivery standard is ensure that teachers tailor learning strategies to include a wide diversity of learning styles through group and individual activities.  The primary goal of the standard is to encourage teachers to demonstrate critical analysis during scientific inquiry so that students may develop inquiry skills through classroom examples.  The central objective of the standard is to support teachers in building lessons which utilize a variety of multiple intelligences in the development of higher cognitive study of content.

Lessons to reach every student

Each individual student learns best through different types of activities, therefore strong lessons must provide an assortment of approaches to the content.  Classroom activities that combine movement, writing, collaboration, drawing, and independent exploration such as the Virus Study Guide create opportunities for students to connect to new content based on varied manipulatives that address multiple learning styles.
