This week we learned about the 5E Instructional Model. The 5E's are engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate. I really like how this model fits into inquiry based learning. It starts by engaging the learner with a topic that interests the students. It then leads students into exploration about the topic. One important link in the evaluation part. As with any lesson, it is important to evaluate student progress throughout the entirety of the lesson.
I really like inquiry based learning. Pair that with the 5E model, teachers have a great guide to work with. Also, Discovery Education is awesome when it comes to the 5E's because each Techbook lesson has the 5E's embedded into it. This month, in my district, we are having the Discovery Education Battle of the Brackets. I'm going to make it a point to share the 5E's with the teachers in my building and encourage them to use this model in their instruction.
