Though exploring Nature is a science content site, we strive to fulfill successful teaching models.
We support the high yield teaching strategy developed by Jane E. Pollock called GANAG lesson planning, described simply below:
G GOAL/standard or objective stage
Set objectives and provide feedback.
Recognize effort and provide recognition.
A ACCESS PRIOR KNOWLEDGE stage
Identify similarities and differences.
Use nonlinguistic representations.
Use cooperative learning.
Use questions, cues, and advance organizers.
N NEW INFORMATION stage
Summarize and take notes.
Provide practice.
Use cooperative learning.
Use questions, cues, and advance organizers.
A APPLY stage
Identify similarities and differences.
Provide practice.
Generate and test hypotheses.
Use questions, cues, and advance organizers.
G GOAL REVIEW or summarize stage
Set objectives and provide feedback. Recognize effort and provide recognition.
***Look for ways to fufill this model with each of Exploring Nature's topics.
