3. Instructional Delivery and Facilitation

Instructional delivery is the human interactive skills that promote or facilitate learning in face-to-face instruction, as well as those skills in using various forms of instructional delivery mechanisms. Face-to-face instruction classrooms are known as the traditional classrooms; it involves things such as giving organized presentations, motivating students, generating enthusiasm, and communicating effectively. Another instruction method is online, or interactive video instruction; this may also require skills in using forms of computer equipment. Facilitation is actually "the action of facilitating something", but what this really means is that the lesson is being made easier for students. When a teacher is facilitating a lesson, they are making it easier for the students to understand. It is very important for teachers to know
this, because if your students do not understand when you explain the lesson in a certain way, you will need to facilitate it.
  


 The effective educator consistently utilizes a deep and comprehensive  knowledge of the subject taught to:



a. Deliver engaging and challenging lessons;


b. Deepen and enrich students’ understanding through content area literacy strategies, verbalization of
thought, and application of the subject matter;



c. Identify gaps in students’ subject matter knowledge;


d. Modify instruction to respond to preconceptions or misconceptions;


e. Relate and integrate the subject matter with other disciplines and life experiences;



f. Employ higher-order questioning techniques;


g. Apply varied instructional strategies and resources, including appropriate technology, provide comprehensive instruction, and to teach for student understanding;                                                                                                                                                              
 

h. Differentiate instruction based  on an assessment of student learning needs and recognition of individual differences in students;
 

i. Support, encourage, and provide immediate and specific feedback to students to promote student achievement; and
 


j. Utilize student feedback to monitor instructional needs and to adjust instruction.
