Elements of Component 2c are:
Indicators include:
Component 2c: Artifact List
- Management of instructional groups: Teachers help students to develop the skills to work purposefully and cooperatively in groups, with little supervision from the teacher
- Management of transitions: Many lessons engage students in different types of activities - large group, small group, independent work. It's important that little time is lost as students move from one activity to another; students know the "drill" and execute it seamlessly
- Management of materials and supplies: Experienced teachers have all necessary materials to hand, and have taught students to implement routines for distribution and collection of materials with a minimum of disruption to the flow of instruction
- Performance of non-instructional duties: Overall, little instructional time is lost in activities such as taking attendance, recording the lunch count or the return of permission slips for a class trip
Indicators include:
- Smooth functioning of all routines
- Little or no loss of instructional time
- Students playing an important role in carrying out the routines
- Students know what to do, where to move
