This is one of many PowerPoint lessons that I usewith my students. I selected a PowerPoint sample because it's an easy way to show the typical structure and chunking of my lessons. Though of course not all my lessons are donewith PowerPoint,this lesson still follows the exact model I usefor all direct instruction lessons.

Visit Whole Brain Teacher of America's website to get a better understanding of the unique teaching style that I use and that is shown in my classroom video. Power Teaching is a teaching reform movement that is spreading like wildfire across the world. I am a proud member of the Board of Directorsfor Power Teachers of America, and, under the direction of Chris Biffle (founder of Power Teaching) piloted and helped fine-tune 'Industrial Strength Power Teaching'--for the most challenging students we encounter in our classrooms.

Results!

 

Results speak for themselves! View a comparison report of our most recent benchmarks to see how the students are growing and improving. The first chart shows the class average and how they improved from the first benchmark to the second. The second chart shows individual student progress and improvement (no names are included). You may also click here to see a comparison of how the students performed in comparison to the rest of the 7th graders at the school. These are intervention students, so the main goal is to get these students on the same level as the rest of the 7th graders, then to focus on getting them to proficient levels.
