In the primary grades I have felt that there are many processes that can be used in the classroom. In the cognitive process that I notice in my students is attention and engagement. Being a kindergarten teacher, the process is vital to keeping the attention of 5/6 year old therefore “Feasibility suggests that classroom teachers can work to the benefit of many more students by implementing patterns of instruction likely to serve multiple needs”. (Tomlinson & MacTighe, 2006) Many of my classroom process build upon routine and structure otherwise it could become chaotic in seconds. For my students the routine is done by doing small groups daily and in those small groups I can teach in multiple ways. This process of routine is set for students to understand the patterns on instruction. Each small group is based of the learning abilities and developmentally appropriate levels. The second process that I have witnessed in students is engagement, without this pull in factor in a lesson the next part of instructional design goes downhill fast. In my classroom setting music, songs, and movement is my daily introduction to most of my reading and math lessons. For example, when we are reviewing sight words, we do a sight word rap where students spell out words and have movements that go with each word, then at the very end I cold call 2-3 students to use the words in a sentence. After a 2-3 years using this method, I have noticed the assessment grades improve more than in my beginning years of teacher where we just practiced sight words through repetition and memorization. As an educator I feel that every year I must change my instructional practices based on the group of students I serve that year. I feel that learning and understanding my students allow me to influence their learning instead of sticking to the “one sizes fits all” idea. Reference: Tomlinson, C. A., & MacTighe, J. (2006).
