Chapter 5: Conducting Knowledge Application Lessons
"Element 13: Providing Resources and Guidance
This category of strategies involves actions teachers take to help students as they engage in their cognitively complex tasks. During such tasks, the teacher's role shifts from providing new content (which is his or her role during direct instruction) or orchestrating the ways students are analyzing content (which is his or her role during practicing and deepening lessons) to providing support as students work with some relative independence on knowledge application tasks. The strategies associated with this element appear in table 5.2. There is certainly no implied sequence to the strategies in the table. As they observe students engaging in their complex tasks, teachers utilize those strategies that fit the needs of individual students, small groups, and the whole class. When the strategies in this element produce the desired effects, teachers will observe the following behaviors in students.
- Students seek out the teacher for advice regarding their projects.
- Students can explain how the teacher's actions help them with their projects.
- Students are actively working on their complex tasks, making adaptations as they do so."
