Demonstrating Knowledge of Resources
What is component 1D?
Teachers should use resources in the classroom to help aid learning. Teachers should be able to use discretion when selecting resources, so that these resources are helping students learn instead of causing confusion or distraction. The different types of resources are those used in class by students, ones used outside of the classroom, those teachers use to advance as a profession, and those used for noninstructional aid. These resources can come in a lot of different forms.
Why do you need it?
Student learning and engagement can be increase by a teacher's wise use of resources. These resources can make content more exciting and relevant if used correctly.
What are the elements?
Resources for classroom use: Materials that teachers introduce to students that will help in reaching learning outcomes. They often correlate to a lesson being taught in class, and are used in the classroom.
Resources to extend content knowledge and pedagogy: Resources that teachers use to advance as professionals. Although they are not used by the student, the student benefits from having a well-equipped teacher.
Resources for students: Resources are at a level that challenges students, but is still within their zone of proximal development. If the class has varying ability levels, if possible the teacher should have different resources that are usable by each level.
In the classroom:
*When teaching about the Vietnam War, a history teacher has a veteran come in and talk to the class about the experiences.
*To develop as a profession, a teacher creates a Twitter account and begins participating in education chats.
*A teacher wants students do read an article about the Progressive era, but the class has varying reading levels. To accommodate this, the teacher finds several articles that cover the same information, but use more or less complex terminology.
