93). He finds that "changing the medium of instruction places increased organisational and cognitive demands on both educators and students" (Mehisto, 2008, p. 94). The introduction of any new instructional method requires significant thought and effort on the part of the teacher. Mehisto (2008) describes a study of the implementation of a CLIL program in the former Soviet republic of Estonia begun incrementally in 2000 (p. 95). Mehisto (2008) notes, "a multiple focus calling for the integration of content and language is widely accepted as essential to bilingual education and the CLIL approach" (p. 96). The problem with this approach is, as Mehisto (2008) finds, "Teachers are often not in the habit of integrating both content and language, and as a consequence neither are students" (p. 98). Mehisto (2008) analyzes the Estonia study and concludes that in "approximately half of the lessons observed, teachers were seen to focus on both language and content learning" (p. 98). Conversely,...
The problem, as Mehisto (2008) has observed, is that "students in the observed lessons were not being made aware of what is expected of them both in reference to content and language learning. Consequently, students are less likely to maintain a consistent, dual focus on language and content" (p. 99). Mehisto (2008) concludes, "The articulation of learning outcomes that pertain both to language and content could support students maintaining a dual focus on both language and content" (p. 99).
CLIL has the potential to be a highly effective methodology for language instruction in the primary and secondary levels. This method is made less effective by teacher disjuncture from it. As Mehisto (2008) has found, when teachers teach in a way that illustrates complete commitment to the methodology, as evidenced by the articulation of and adherence to learning goals and outcomes, the disjuncture decreases and…

Teaching Strategies Mainstreaming involves placing special education students in regular classrooms as much as possible, and using resource rooms where the student receives special tutoring, review and instruction. Inclusion, which is considered a goal of mainstreaming is the total integration of special education students and services into the general education classroom where special education teachers collaborate with general education teachers to teach the entire class. There is still debate in education
Teaching Strategies Problems Long Division Area Perimeter and Volume Ratio Proportion Percentages Strategic teaching describes an instructional process that focus on student's thinking capabilities and goes well beyond that. Strategic learning is correlated with strategic teaching. A strategic teacher should have an understanding of variables regarding instruction and he is required to be aware of the cognitive requirements of learning like sense of timing and a style of management. He should be a thinker
Teaching Strategy for Special Ed Special Education Standard Direct instruction is the most widely-used teaching strategy, although it has become controversial in recent years. Critics argue that it limits the creativity of good teachers and provides a crutch for poor ones (What is direct instruction? 2011). It is a teacher-centered approach that relies on structured lesson plans, offering little or no variation and no opportunity for discussion or active participation. The effectiveness
As such students at similar levels in both categories were grouped together to ensure optimal benefits for all participants. When evaluated on a practical level, it was found that communicating the benefits of the program to refugee communities was critical to success. Parents in these communities needed to understand that the program offers a pathway for their children towards success and employment, as well as an effective future in the
Teaching Strategies for Students With ADHD The article by authors Kiuhara, O'Neill, Hawken, & Graham discuss ways to improve persuasive writing in high school students. They stress the importance of persuasive writing because students with ADHD had difficulty planning and drafting text. Any teaching strategy that dealt with these weaknesses could improve the writing ability of a student with ADHD. "Intervention studies with younger, middle school students with disabilities shows that
Education A sad reality in the world today is that many school children suffer academically not so much because of a lack of prowess as because of the various social and economic challenges they face. Countless children suffer economic pressures at home and have little time or energy left to pay attention to school world. More often than not, parental support for school children in these circumstances is minimal at best
