  • By Janine Breen, Brandy Brevi, Jennifer Rumore
    and Erica Walsh

LOOK.
3
THINK.
  • What words came to mind when you were looking at
    the pictures in the previous slide?
  • In the bike riding pictures, what do you think
    the adult did before the child got on the bike?

PONDER.
  • An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of
    preaching. Mahatma
    Gandhi
  • Practice is the means of inviting the perfection
    desired. Martha

  • Use your gifts faithfully, and they shall be
    enlarged practice what you know, and you shall
    attain to higher knowledge. Matthew Arnold

5
What You Will Learn
  • What is Guided Practice?
  • How it works.
  • What is Re-Teaching?
  • Some examples of GP.
  • The importance of GP.
  • Some GP strategies.

6
Why is Guided Practice Important to Me?
  • As a teacher you should be committed to teaching
    students how to work independently.
  • Guided Practice provides sufficient practice
    of all content that students will be asked to do
    independently

7
Guided Practice
  • What It Is.
  • Very active, important stage of Direct
    Instruction lesson.
  • 1st time teacher assesses individual student
    understanding.
  • Students practice under close teacher
    supervision.
  • One-on-One remediation is provided.
  • Re-teaching (to individual or small groups) as
    needed.

8
Guided Practice
  • How it Works.
  • In Initial Practice, students are given a few
    problems to answer that are
  • Aligned with objectives.
  • Structured like those in Independent Practice.
  • Teacher circulates around classroom.
  • Students alert teacher when they are done.
  • Teacher reviews work.
  • If correct, dismiss students one by one.
  • If incorrect, re-teach the skill.

9
Guided Practice
  • More Support Scenario.
  • Students are given problems to answer one at a
    time.
  • Teacher checks student work more frequently.

10
Guided Practice
  • Re-Teaching.
  • Revisit content presentation and modeling part
    of lesson.
  • Provide time for student think-alouds.
  • Recheck their understanding.
  • Give additional practice.
  • Dismiss students 1-by-1 as they demonstrate
    knowledge/skill successfully.
  • Re-teach another way if necessary consider
    peer tutoring.

11
Guided Practice
  • Examples of GP Activities.
  • Student reads a paragraph aloud in a reading
    group.
  • Student solves a few Math problems.
  • Student completes an exercise on the board while
    other students do the same exercise in their
    seats.

In all cases, teacher closely monitors student
work.
12
Guided Practice
  • Why so important?

Corrective Feedback
During GP, the teacher
Assesses students progress
Analyzes errors
Addresses needs one-on-one
It is always more difficult to re-teach skills
that have been practiced incorrectly than to
provide careful practice the first time around.

13
Guided Practice
  • Techniques.
  • Praise, Prompt and Leave. (Fred Jones)
  • Drill Practice.
  • Decontextualize Learning.

14
Guided Practice
  • PRAISE, PROMPT, LEAVE
  • Teacher moves quickly from student to student and
    gives clear, corrective feedback in the shortest
    amount of time possible.
  • Praise Tell student what he/she has done
    correctly.
  • Prompt Tell student what he/she should do
    next.
  • Leave Leave student to work on the problem
    alone.
  • But always return to check on student progress!

15
Guided Practice
  • Drill Practice
  • Promotes acquisition of knowledge or skill
    through repetitive practice.
  • Skills become foundation for more meaningful
    learning.
  • Benefits beginning learners students with
    learning problems.
  • Helps learners master materials at their own
    pace.

The structured, repetitive review of previously
learned concepts to a predetermined level of
mastery. (Saskatchewan Education

tml )
16
Guided Practice
  • Computer-Based Drill Practice Systems
  • Good software
  • Provides feedback explains how to get the
    correct answer.
  • Offers various levels of difficulty.
  • Contains a management system to keep track of
    progress.
  • Reinforces specific skills in a certain subject
    area.
  • Has gaming scenarios colorful, animated
    graphics.

17
Guided Practice
  • Decontextualize Learning
  • Transfer of knowledge/skills to real life .
  • Must provide varied and spaced practice.

It is important that we present and re-represent
the material to be learned in as many
ways/contexts as we can.and at the higher levels
of Blooms Taxonomy of Educational Objectives.

18
Guided Practice
  • At the end of Guided Practice.
  • Students develop adequate proficiency.
  • For new concepts and skills, they have made
    correct responses at least 80 the time in GP.
  • What comes next?
  • Students proficiency is confirmed during
    closure.
  • They are ready to tackle tasks independently!

19
Guided Practice Activity
20
