Webb, Rodman B.; And Others
Florida Educational Research and Development Council, Inc. Research Bulletin, v17 n2 Fall 1983
This manual presents a program of instruction, the Basic Skills Instructional System, which coordinates a number of teaching strategies into a single instructional system. Section 1 describes the organizational phase of the system: (1) teacher expectation; (2) resistance from low achieving students; (3) avoiding confrontations; (4) management of class time; and (5) effective teaching behaviors. In the second section, the development phase of instruction is described. During this phase, new concepts or basic skills are introduced to the class. Ways in which materials are presented to ensure that all students achieve a basic understanding of what is expected of them are outlined. Section 3 is devoted to a description of the seatwork phase of instruction; the aim of this phase is to consolidate learning and to increase students' proficiency in a specific, narrow area. The fourth section provides a description of effective practices in planning, assigning, and evaluating homework. In the final section, effective techniques are outlined for reviewing critical materials so that students can retain knowledge and consolidate learned skills. (JD)
