[quote=Anonymous]Whole group direct instruction is something that I've found works for me and my students. I feel a lot of pressure (internally and from colleagues) to do more small group work (also a lot of direct instruction, though hands on, usually). But honestly, I can't get through what I need to get through with so much small group. Plus, while I know other teachers who can manage to keep the kids who aren't in the small group on task doing something meaningful, this is something I've never excelled at. Don't get me wrong, I still do small group work, but not a lot of it. But one question I've gotten from admins that sticks with me is this: What's more important, teaching or learning? Learning is more important. I can have a great lesson that people love, but it only matters if the kids learn. Period.[/quote]
