NEE Indicator 2.5
2.5 Builds on students' prior experiences, learning strengths
and needs
The teacher communicates an awareness of students’ prior knowledge and almost always begins learning activities by activating prior knowledge (or considers the prior knowledge of almost all the students). The teacher clearly builds on prior knowledge to create a strong web of knowledge with many connections.
In the classroom, this might look like:
Teacher activates prior knowledge of almost all students
Teacher makes many connections to knowledge web
Teacher refers strongly and repeatedly to content from other lessons or units
Teacher builds on the experiences of each student and adapts lessons as needed
In the early childhood classroom, the teacher consistently builds on learners’ prior knowledge and experience
