Teaching Strategy

Student Talk

Student Talk is a strategy to get students to talk through concepts and practices.  Student talk will be useful when they are introduced to the concept of using Design Thinking.  Students will be expected to contribute to their teams by allowing them to empathize, define, and ideate, which would allow them to create a prototype, and eventually test their innovative idea.

Reciprocal Teaching

Reciprocal Teaching is a strategy where the student becomes a teacher.  In one of the activities, students will create a product that would help improve the health of their families through a nutritional education or physical activity.  Students will use their product to inform first and seconds graders about the importance of a healthy diet or the importance of physical activities.  Their product will be a result of what they learned about nutrition and physical activity.  It could be in the form of a poster, a PowerPoint, or other multimedia of their choosing.

Scientific Method

The Scientific Method is a process or method of research that identifies the problem.  What’s more, the students gather information about the problem.  Using the information gathered, students form a hypothesis or question they want to explore.  The next step, the students design an experiment to test the hypothesis.  Finally, the students analyze the experiment and draw a conclusion.
