• Individualized instruction consists of
student-based activities, lessons and tests. That is, the teacher forms teachings around individual students' strengths, passions and interests. Each student would have curriculum designed with input from the student, his parents and teacher. Individualized education caters to each student so he can receive a personalized and better education. It is not without controversy and extra work. Individualized education is a driving force in education today. Learning Centers
• A learning center is typically a designated
area within the classroom that provides students with exciting and interesting experiences to practice, enrich, reteach, and enhance their learning. These types of centers are filled with manipulative, art materials, books, and other instructional tools. Art Center
• The art center allows children to visually express
themselves. Children also learn how to critically evaluate their artwork, as well as the artwork of others, helping them to practice and develop their cognitive skills, language skills, and aesthetics. Art also offers many opportunities for core subject integration, especially in regard to science, social studies, or language arts. Discovery Center
• A place where children can explore
the answers to questions driven by their natural curiosity. Science is a special subject in discovery, as gives children the chance to explore life, earth, and the laws of nature Dramatic Play Centers
• "Dramatic play" centers promote social
interaction , role exploration, and abstract thinking. Children are given the opportunity to deeply explore roles of people in their family and community. Pretending is an important part developing abstract thought, such as connecting symbols with real objects and events. Role Play Visual Aids
• Graphic organizers are a great tool for
visual learners. Various forms of graphic organizers can be printed out from the Web or can be found on computer programs like “Inspiration”. When comparing two topics, students can create a Venn Diagram to see how the topics overlap. Venn Diagram • Maps are also an essential item in a social studies learning center. Encourage students to use pushpins on wall maps to locate places they are studying, to draw trade routes across land and water, or to make relief maps showing geographical features. • Have colored paper and scissors handy so students can make shapes representing such things as trade items, and have students place these items in the appropriate locations on maps. Remembering Details (Clash Card) • For students who grasp the narrative of a topic but are having trouble remembering details, flashcards, word searches and crossword puzzles are invaluable. Encouraging students to make their own gives them an extra level of familiarity with the facts as well as a sense of ownership of the information, which can help boost their confidence Flash Cards Writing
• For essays and other written work,
encourage peer review as much as possible. Provide students a list of questions or a rubric to guide them in their reviews, and make sure they always give constructive criticism. Games • Games are a great way for students to manipulate information. Board games on some topics already exist; Diplomacy, in which students take on the roles of various European countries before World War I, is one example. You may also be able to find three-dimensional models of things like medieval European villages, monasteries, and Viking settlements. Daghang Salamat sa Pagpaminaw nako …..
