Tier 1 begins with essential instructions that adequately addresses the needs of most of the students. The systematic and clear instructions will help students stay engage in the class and get more clear understanding. Instructions can be reinforced by the use of charts, formulas, and sequential temporal instruction which help student stay focused. Peer groups can help students increase participation in the class and learn from each other. A teacher can plan an active approach in teaching so that all kinds of children find it easy to learn. For example, the angles can be taught by making angles with tape on the table and floor. Probability can be taught by using colorful m&m chocolates. Sometimes teachers find students not completing their homework. If a teacher can show some practical applications of the learning in the class then students will be motivated and would see the value of the lessons.
Classroom behavior can be set by clearly discussed and well-designed rules. Students would know what is expected of them and how they can abide in those behaviors. Positive reinforcement strategies can also be used to meet the desired goal. A positive relationship between students and a teacher is very important. A teacher should be calm and confident while teaching in the class. Teacher should keep updating parents about class activities and their child’s performance. Parents’ active involvement would also benefit their child’s success.
Students not showing improvements are moved to Tier 2.
I loved how you incorporated how not only the different activities to help get students more involved in class for Tier 1, but incorporated how the teacher plays his or her roles in Tier 1 as well.
