TOOLS FOR THE 21ST
CENTURY TEACHER

3. 1. Innovative Strategies in
improving communication,
critical thinking, creativity,
and collaboration- Explicit
Teaching

4. Explicit Teaching is an instruction that is systematic, direct,
engaging, and success oriented. It has proven to be very helpful for
normally progressing students. It is essential for students with
learning challenges. Explicit instruction is absolutely necessary in
teaching content that students could not otherwise discover. It is
called explicit because it is an unambiguous and direct approach to
teaching that includes both instructional design and delivery
procedures.
Explicit instruction is characterized by a series of scaffolds,
whereby students are guided through the learning process with clear
statements about the purpose and rationale for learning the new
skill, clear explanations and demonstrations of the instructional
target, and supported practice with feedback until independent
mastery has been achieved. Rosenshine (1987) described this form
of instruction as “a systematic method of teaching with emphasis on
proceeding in small steps, checking for student understanding, and
achieving active and successful participation by all students.

5. General Model of Explicit Instruction
Includes the steps of introduction, modeling, prompted or
guided practice, and unprompted practice (referred to as I do it.
We do it. You do it.) It is introduced and applied to the teaching of
skills and strategies in which students perform some behaviour.
Elements of Explicit Teaching
1. A clear goal
2.Some show and tell
3.Plenty of Practice (Guided Practice & Group Practice)
4.Independent Practice

6.  Eight Essential Components of Explicit Teaching
1. Concept/skill is broken down into critical features/elements.
2.Teacher clearly describes concept/skill.
3.Teacher clearly models concept/skill.
4.Multi-sensory instruction (visual, auditory, tactile, kinesthetic)
5.Teacher thinks aloud as she/he models.
6.Teacher models examples and non-examples.
7.Cueing
8.High levels of teacher-student interaction
How Do I Implement the Strategy?
-Ensure that your students have the prerequisite skills to perform
the skill.
-Break down the skill into logical and learnable parts (Ask yourself,
"what do -I do and what do I think as I perform the skill?").
-Provide a meaningful context for the skill (e.g. word or story
problem suited to the age & interests of your students).

7. -Provide visual, auditory, kinesthetic (movement), and tactile means
for illustrating important aspects of the concept/skill (e.g. visually
display word problem and equation, orally cue students by varying
vocal intonations, point, circle, highlight computation signs or
important information in story problems).
-"Think aloud" as you perform each step of the skill (i.e. say aloud
what you are thinking as you problem-solve).
-Link each step of the problem-solving process (e.g. restate what
you did in the previous step, what you are going to do in the next
step, and why the next step is important to the previous step).
-Periodically check student understanding with questions,
remodeling steps when there is confusion.
-Maintain a lively pace while being conscious of student information
processing difficulties (e.g. need additional time to process
questions).
-Model a concept/skill at least three times before beginning to
scaffold your instruction

8. Explicit Teaching in a Nutshell
-Be clear about what you want your students to know and be able to do by
the end of each lesson
-Tell children what they need to know and show them how to do what they
need to do.
-Give your students time to practice what they have learnt.
“Building a learning culture entails putting learning at the center of classroom
interactions. Explicit instruction is a strong tool for creating a classroom climate that not
only values but also demonstrates that learning is at the center of the conversation in
classroom literacy classes. It empowers students to direct and monitor their own
learning by linking them to it through concentrated conversation. Effective teachers act
in the knowledge of their students and respond to their contributions and learning needs
genuinely. Furthermore, explicit teaching actively allows students' new learning to be
informed by what they already know, boosting skill transfer and application across
important curriculum areas. Teachers and students can then act in the knowledge of
what they are doing and why in order to achieve mutually beneficial teaching and
learning.”

10. TOOLS FOR THE
21ST CENTURY
TEACHER

11. “Technology will never replace great teachers, but in the
hands of great teachers, it’s transformational.”
– George Couros

12. Education is paramount to our children’s future and
living standards in the modern world. Innovative and effective
teaching tools that teachers can use online at home or school
can make learning effective and accessible.
Teaching tools are vitally important for a teacher when teaching
a class. These tools help you be more organized and make your
style easier to understand. Many tools may help teachers by
providing great information, free access, or making homework
easier.

13. Tools Every 21st
Century Teacher
Should Be Able To Use

14. 1. Quizlet
Quizlet has been around for a long time but only recently
became popular. It allows you to share your sets with other users
through a web interface or email for them to use them as well.
Users can create their own sets or import existing ones from other
sources (such as flashcards). It also supports multiple languages
and has an iOS app available on the App store.

15. 2. Discovery Education
This is an excellent website for teachers. It has so many
resources for science, social studies, language arts, math, and
more. You can create interactive activities for your students
online, or you can just have them watch videos about different
topics you are covering in class.

16. 3. LearnZillion
They have so many free resources for teachers. From lesson
plans to videos that teach different skills. Assessments are built
into each lesson plan, making review easy for both teachers and
students.

17. 4. Plickers
Students answer multiple-choice questions by scanning cards
with their phones or tablets. The teacher’s phone or tablet then
collects all of their answers, which they can use later in class
discussions or share via email with parents and other educators
interested in seeing how kids are doing on specific subjects like
math, science, or reading comprehension levels.

18. 5. Youtube
YouTube is an obvious choice for audiovisual design learning
teaching tools. Teachers can use the video platform to show their
students documentaries, lectures, and even music videos that
correspond to their lesson plans.

19. 6. Duolingo
It is a free language teaching tool that works great on mobile
devices and the web. The best part is that it has games to keep
students interested and engaged while they’re learning vocabulary
and grammar skills for the language of their choice.

20. 7. Pear Deck
is a digital whiteboard that allows teachers and students to
interact in a whole new way. It’s as easy as PPT but far more
engaging. This tool will enable teachers to share their PowerPoints
or Google Slides with students by adding interactive slides. Pear
Deck also allows students to answer questions on their own
devices and share ideas with the entire class.

21. 8. OneNote
OneNote is a handy tool for teachers to use in the classroom.
You can create lessons, take notes, and share them with your
students. It is also effortless to collaborate with other teachers
and share resources. This is an excellent tool for teachers who
want to teach online or have a virtual classroom online. It is free,
so there is no reason not to try it out if you are unsure what type of
classroom environment you will be teaching in.

22. 9. Socrative
Socrative is an innovative student response system that helps
teachers engage students and monitor their comprehension
throughout the lesson. It works by gathering data from
smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Teachers use Socrative to pose
questions during lectures and formative assessments (i.e., exit
tickets) that allow students to respond via multiple-choice, short
answer, or true/false answers. As soon as students submit their
responses, teachers receive feedback on their performance —
which informs them on what concepts need more improvement.

23. 10. Book Trailers
Teachers can use book trailers to introduce books that their
students may be reading in class or for independent reading
assignments for students who want more guidance on what book
to read next. Book Trailers on YouTube is one website that has
thousands of book trailers available for teachers or students to
use.
