eMINTS instructional Model
Authentic Learning
Inquiry-based learning and constructivist theories put into practice in a classroom, provide students with opportunities for authentic learning. Real-world projects and scenarios allow students to navigate their own learning while becoming problem-solvers, creators, and critical thinkers. Students begin to question and think about concepts in new and different ways.
High-Quality Lesson Design
Students thrive in a classroom that promotes self-directed learning. When teachers create lessons with high-quality instructional strategies and assessments, students with a variety of learning needs can be reached, engaged, and motivated. Students are trained to be self-directed learners. Teachers use data for varied assessments and also provide multiple opportunities for students to demonstrate their learning.
Community of Learners
An individual's creativity and lifelong learning can flourish in a community of peers. Students and teachers find success in a safe environment where they feel free to share, take risks, respect, and challenge each other. Providing a community of learners is essential for interest and engagement in deep content.
Powered by Technology
Technology adds excitement and motivation in the classroom for students and teachers. It also provides and allows for differentiated learning to take place. By implementing technology tools and resources seamlessly, learning and experiences are not contained within the walls of the classroom, but expanded to reach the world.
Assessments and ongoing evaluations are infiltrated throughout each component of the model. Assessments and evaluations should drive instruction and guide teachers to content. Under each practice, evaluations are encouraged - for teachers and students - to produce the best possible outcomes and results.
