Use novel studies to teach reading. Making use of novels to teach reading rather than textbooks enables you to tailor questions and activities to the ability of your trainees at each grade levels. You can also generate tiny literature circles subject to reading levels that could have members from both grades in them. Inside these literature circles each student has a role, and while groups are meeting you could circulate from group to group, checking in & questioning trainees on their reading.
Differentiate instruction. In the event you have a student in a younger grade who is performing above grade level, let him join in the older grade's activities. In the event you have a student in the older grade who might use some additional practice, have her teach a concept to the younger grade. In this way she is getting practice at her level without being embarrassed. Develop contracts in science or social studies where trainees across both grades work together dependant upon interests to produce enrichment lessons.
Learn the standards for both grade levels & incorporate them whenever probable. Previous to the start of the university year, compare the standards between the 2 grades you will be teaching & make lessons that will permit you to address similar standards in 1 entire group lesson. For instance, a writing regular in 4th grade could expect trainees to write sentences of varying length, while a 5th grade standard may anticipate trainees to write straightforward, compound & convoluted sentences. Pupils can learn all of these skills in one meticulously planned lesson.Â
Following the session, mentors must encourage the new teacher to brainstorm a list of issues that might be troublesome or challenging. By going over them together, the mentor can encourage the new teacher to explore answers to these questions. Encourage new teachers to explore using a dialogue journal where the mentor provides feedback dependent on his/her reflections. Teacher mentors can also give a checklist (similar to the list below) to serve as a guide for building his/her own self-awareness.Â
