ExpertRating Online Teaching Course (Guided Reading) Coverage (6 weeks program)

Week One

Wednesday - Lesson 01

Have you ever wished you had a good way to reach your struggling readers? If so, you're probably ready to discover the secret that thousands of teachers are already using to transform their reading instruction: differentiated instruction combined with guided reading. This first lesson will take a first look at it, and will explain how blending these techniques will help you build a balanced literary framework that helps your students negotiate a variety of texts with success.

Friday - Lesson 02

The first step in helping your students is getting to know who they are and how their minds work. In this lesson, you'll learn how to evaluate your students' readiness, interests, learning profiles, and social elements. Then you can use this information to drive meaningful, focused instruction that will help them see reading as a pleasure rather than a chore.

Week Two

Wednesday - Lesson 03

Assessment is at the heart of differentiated instruction because you have to know where your students are before you take them somewhere new. In this lesson, learn how to plan quality pre-, ongoing, and summative assessments that will give you a clear picture of student learning. The best part of assessing students at multiple intervals is that you can tell what is working and what isn't, adjusting teaching strategies as you go.

Friday - Lesson 04

This lesson will discuss flexible groups, which are a mainstay in the differentiated classroom because they allow you to combine students for different reasons on different days. Sometimes you'll combine students based on interests and other times based on readiness or learning profile. However you use flexible groups, you'll appreciate the way this technique lets you accommodate a diversity of students.

Week Three

Wednesday - Lesson 05-

When it comes to selecting the texts you'll teach, there are literally thousands of options. However, you can narrow them down considerably by understanding the criteria of good fiction and nonfiction texts. You'll be picking the right texts the first time after this lesson finishes.

Friday - Lesson 06

Did you know that a lot of the learning process hinges on what you do to prepare students before they actually start reading? That's what will be discussed in this lesson. It's easy to just introduce a text and let students have at it, but if you plan the time before reading with activities that build anticipation and ground the text in prior learning, you'll be amazed by the results.

Week Four

Wednesday - Lesson 07

How students read a text is a highly personal matter, but in the classroom, you have to direct reading to get the greatest results. In this lesson, you'll learn how to teach students the right way to read, to comprehend what they've just read, and to make inferences. The ultimate goal is helping your students have truly meaningful interactions with the text, and this lesson has got just the tricks to help you through.

Friday - Lesson 08

Does learning end when students put a book down? Hope not! The time to really help students process the text and extend their learning in new avenues is after students finish reading and have the chance to start thinking for themselves. This lesson will go over the after-reading framework, where you'll teach students to turn information into ideas as they go beyond the text and into the world.

Week Five

Wednesday - Lesson 09

If you think of your classroom as a ladder, you'll realize that you have a lot of students on a lot of different rungs. This lesson will explore tiering, which is a concept that helps you separate students based on their readiness, interests, or learning profiles. The trick is doing so without making students feel like they're more or less competent than others. Are you eager for the secrets? You'll master them in no time!

Friday - Lesson 10

What do you do with those extra 10 or 15 minutes at the end of a lesson or a school day? An increasingly popular idea is to anchor your students to the material they've learned by extending learning in new avenues. You can do this with games, writing prompts, or any number of other fun, creative activities. This lesson will explore lots of great ideas.

Week Six

Wednesday - Lesson 11

Your ultimate goal with the balanced literary framework is to create independent readers who are confident and capable of negotiating new texts with ease. In this lesson, you'll learn the basics of curriculum compacting, learning contracts, and individual projects, strategies to help your students transition to independence. You'll be amazed by how well students learn when they work more independently.

Friday - Lesson 12

This course will finish up in this lesson by discussing the foundation that you build for classroom learning. Your attitude is everything. (That almost bears repeating!) Beyond that, you need to be able to encourage struggling readers and help parents extend the learning at home. Once your foundation is strong, you'll notice that both students and parents take the initiative to build positive reading experiences.
