The school has its own instructional model which was developed through actively testing what works for its students and multiple staff discussions related to
effective pedagogical practice over a period of many months.
My research interests include: using e-readers to improve literacy in 9 — 12 grade science courses, improving assessment with new technologies in the science classroom, increasing
effective pedagogical practices with technology integration.
In an effort to improve teaching and learning, TKG's instructional coaches target the following components of an effective classroom, as identified by the most prevalent research
on effective pedagogical practices: instructional planning and procedures, instructional delivery, instructional environment, assessment, and instructional materials.
One such effort comes from the Marzano Research Laboratory (MRL), whose experts conducted A Study of Best Practices in Edmentum Online Solutions, looking at Edmentum's online solutions in various settings to evaluate the relationship between student learning and
effective pedagogical practices with respect to the use of online instruction.
Educators should select appropriate instructional activities and materials, including technology, based on factors such as curriculum standards, students» needs, preferences, prior knowledge, and skill levels, and
effective pedagogical practices and contextual factors such as time and available resources (Harris & Hofer, 2009; Kennedy & Deshler, 2010; King - Sears & Emenova, 2007).
They used their knowledge of
these effective pedagogical practices, while using technology, to identify and address gaps in the students» content knowledge.
