Inauthentic Teaching & Item Teaching (IT)

The work students do does not allow them to use their minds well. The work has no intrinsic meaning or value to students beyond achieving success in school.

to the lesson.

author's thinking

Text

message.

message.

  • Create new

representation.

Transformation

student thinking visible.

Read & List

List-Group-Label is typically used as a BEFORE reading strategy. Students do not always have the background knowledge to brainstorm words that are relevant to an unfamiliar topic. We modified the strategy to incorporate reading of introductory text (Civil Rights poetry) as a source of words for the List phase of the

  • strategy. In this way, the strategy became a DURING and AFTER reading

strategy that had students examining text for powerful words and grouping words according to important themes.

If NOT item teaching, then WHAT?

  • 1. Read extensively during instruction.
  • 2. Provide many opportunities for unsupported reading and response.
  • 3. Include texts “rich in content and sufficiently challenging.”
  • 4. Require students to justify responses with text evidence.
  • 5. Engage students in responding to text beyond multiple-choice

questions, especially through writing.
