Instruction
Classroom
instruction is one of the essential elements necessary to
meet our mission of providing an exemplary
education that inspires and prepares all DoDEA students for
success in a dynamic global environment as it
includes the methods and strategies used to teach the curriculum.
We are dedicated to supporting all students in their achievement
of the DoDEA academic standards. DDESS students are
taught in ways that respond to their needs. Teachers
prepare lessons that are standards-based and are developmentally
appropriate. The
following are indicators of quality instruction:
- Teaching practices reflect high expectations for student
achievement of the standards.
- Students are meaningfully engaged throughout the learning
process.
- Students have multiple and varied opportunities to meet/exceed
the standards.
- Varied questioning strategies are used to support student
learning.
- Varied and flexible groupings are used to assist students
in achieving/exceeding the standards.
- Varied teaching strategies are used to support inquiry,
higher order thinking, and problem solving.
- Technology is meaningfully integrated throughout instruction
to support student achievement of the standards.
