Using the Instructive-Collaborative-Facilitative Framework<\/h2>\n

As classroom teachers, we are used to talking to our students and very comfortable giving direct instructions. With adults, however, the same approach may not be well received. \u201cTelling\u201d adults what to do tends to be less effective than helping them find their own answers. So, instead, we suggest using the Instructive-Collaborative-Facilitative (I-C-F) framework as a guide for conversation with your teacher candidate.<\/p>\n

Instructive:<\/strong>\u00a0Flow of information is mainly from the cooperating teacher to the teacher candidate<\/p>\n

Collaborative:<\/strong>\u00a0Flow of information is relatively equal between the cooperating teacher and teacher candidate<\/p>\n

Facilitative:<\/strong>\u00a0Flow of information is mainly from the teacher candidate to the cooperating teacher<\/p>\n

The I-C-F framework in action<\/h3>\n

The videos below show examples of using instructive, collaborative, and instructive stances. As you watch the videos, listen for language the cooperating teacher uses to support each stance.<\/p>\n

Shifting along the continuum<\/h3>\n

Although it\u2019s the \u201cInstructive-Collaborative-Facilitative\u201d framework, we recommend starting with the facilitative stance and moving to the collaborative or instructive stances only when needed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why?<\/em> Ultimately, your teacher candidate will have to be able to manage their own classroom and their own students without you for guidance and support. Providing opportunities for your teacher candidate to practice this independence will help them become\u00a0autonomous teachers.<\/p>\n

Facilitative<\/h4>\n

Whenever possible, remain in the facilitative stance<\/strong> and help the teacher candidate develop their own solutions.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.7″ custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|true|true” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”top” animation_duration=”750ms” animation_delay=”100ms” animation_intensity_slide=”10%” hover_enabled=”0″ custom_css_after=”content: %222%22;” border_width_all=”2px” border_color_all=”#db7a2a” header_4_text_color=”#db7a2a”]<\/p>\n

Collaborative<\/h4>\n

If facilitating isn\u2019t possible, shift to the collaborative stance<\/strong> and co-construct solutions.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.7″ custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|true|true” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”top” animation_duration=”750ms” animation_delay=”200ms” animation_intensity_slide=”10%” hover_enabled=”0″ custom_css_after=”content: %223%22;” border_width_all=”2px” border_color_all=”#db7a2a” header_4_text_color=”#db7a2a”]<\/p>\n

Instructive<\/h4>\n

When necessary, be prepared to be direct and give specific instructions in the instructive stance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As you become more comfortable with the I-C-F approach, you will find yourself moving fluidly from one stance to another and back again as the situation and conversation warrants.<\/p>\n

Depending on the context, the same topic might be approached using the facilitative, collaborative, or instructive stance.<\/p>\n

For example, let’s say your teacher candidate is explaining a lesson plan…<\/strong><\/p>\n

How Teaching Adults is Different<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Characteristics of Young Versus Adult Learners” _builder_version=”4.4.7″ animation_style=”fade”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Introduction” _builder_version=”4.4.7″]<\/p>\n

Understanding the differences between young learners and adult learners is critical for helping your teacher candidate learn.<\/p>\n

An adult learner is someone who has achieved the concept of being responsible for their own life. Although some teacher candidates might not yet have this concept of themselves, most probably will.<\/p>\n

The idea that adult learners are different from young learners was sparked when researcher and educator Malcolm Knowles suggested that the same methods for teaching children does not apply to adults. Knowles pushed for the idea of \u201candragogy,\u201d or the science of helping adults learn (though it’s still typically called “pedagogy”).<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.7″ custom_css_main_element=”display: none;”]<\/p>\n

Characteristics of young versus adult learners<\/h3>\n

As part of his Adult Learning Theory, Knowles determined there were several general assumptions, or characteristics, of adult learners that differentiated them from young learners.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.7″]<\/p>\n

Tips for teaching adults<\/h3>\n

Based on Knowles\u2019 Adult Learning Theory, we suggest considering the following three tips when working with your teacher candidate.<\/p>\n

Tip #1: Wait for the teachable moment<\/h4>\n

If your teacher candidate is not ready to learn something, no matter how hard you may try, it just won\u2019t work. Look and listen for clues that might indicate your teacher candidate is ready for a next step.<\/p>\n

Tip #3: Recognize and use life experience<\/h4>\n

As adult learners, teacher candidates bring a wealth of life experience with them to your classroom. They will learn best and most willingly when allowed to make use of this experience.<\/p>\n

Try to stay mindful of high expectations.<\/strong> In the hands of an experienced educator, teaching often looks easy. This can be disconcerting to a student teacher who tries to replicate what the cooperating teacher is doing only to find that things don’t go nearly as well.<\/p>\n

Many novice educators have very high expectations for themselves and are devastated by their early results in the classroom. It is also possible for us, the experienced teachers, to set our expectations too high for someone just beginning in the classroom.<\/p>\n

It is important to remember that student teachers have a lot to learn during their time with you.<\/p>\n

Providing Feedback<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Feedback” _builder_version=”4.4.7″ animation_style=”fade” collapsed=”off”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Introduction” _builder_version=”4.4.7″]<\/p>\n

Providing feedback is an important aspect of observation and evaluation, but it can also be one of the most difficult tasks for cooperating teachers. You want to give developing educators a fair understanding of their current level of performance without crushing their spirits or dampening their enthusiasm. Fortunately, providing this kind of feedback is a skill you can improve over time.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Effective Feedback” _builder_version=”4.4.7″]<\/p>\n

What makes feedback effective?<\/h3>\n

Generally, effective feedback is:<\/p>\n

Specific and actionable<\/h4>\n

Provide tangible examples of the behavior in question, not vague, \u201cdrive by\u201d feedback like, \u201cYou could improve on classroom management.\u201d Comments like that leave your teacher candidate confused and in the dark about what exactly needs to be improved. Instead, make sure you both know what needs to be done to improve the situation. The main message should be that you care and want to help the teacher candidate grow and develop.<\/p>\n

Focused on performance, not personality<\/h4>\n

Focus on teacher candidate\u2019 behaviors (what they do) rather than on their personality traits (what they\u2019re like). For example, \u201cWhen you interrupt me in front of the class, it causes a problem\u201d (behavior) will probably be heard better than…\u201cYour over-confidence is causing a problem\u201d(personality trait).<\/p>\n

Limited in scope<\/h4>\n

Ideally, an informal feedback session should discuss no more than two issues. Any more than that and you risk the teacher candidate feeling attacked and demoralized.<\/p>\n

Ongoing<\/h4>\n

Feedback is a process that requires constant attention. When something needs to be said, say it. The Teacher Candidate will know where they stand all the time and there will be fewer surprises. Also, problems don’t get out of hand. It’s not a once-a-term event, though this may be the timing of formal feedback. Informal, simple feedback should be given much more often than this \u2013 possibly daily, depending on your Teacher Candidate. By providing frequent, informal feedback like this, nothing said during the formal feedback sessions should be unexpected, surprising or particularly difficult.<\/p>\n

Feedback language tips<\/h3>\n

Your Teacher Candidate wants your feedback. They know that if they listen to, and take action on, clear and constructive feedback, their overall performance will improve. And when feedback is given in the right way and with the right intentions, it can lead to outstanding performance. For your teacher candidate to really hear your thoughts and suggestions, though, that feedback has to be delivered in the right way. Listed below are three tips with language examples for providing feedback that is powerful and positive.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Mirroring” _builder_version=”4.4.7″ custom_padding=”||20px||false|false” animation_style=”fade” collapsed=”off”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Mirroring” _builder_version=”4.4.7″ custom_css_main_element=”margin-bottom: 20px !important;”]<\/p>\n

Tip #1: Practice mirroring<\/h4>\n

Mirroring involves repeating what you have heard in your own words until you are sure that you have indeed heard it fully and accurately. It also includes asking your teacher candidate if they have been heard. This process is also called reflective listening. Mirroring is a good habit because it shows empathy and respect, allows for the most accurate information exchange, and, most importantly, encourages you to stay in a stance where the answers come from the Teacher Candidate<\/p>\n

Examples of mirroring with words<\/h5>\n
    \n
  • From what you’re saying…<\/li>\n
  • It sounds like…<\/li>\n
  • What I hear you saying is…<\/li>\n
  • Let me see if I understand…<\/li>\n
  • So you’re primarily concerned with…<\/li>\n
  • Would you tell me a little more about…?<\/li>\n
  • What do you mean by…?<\/li>\n
  • There are several key points you’re bringing up…<\/li>\n
  • So you’re suggesting…?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Tip #2: Use \u201chow\u201d and \u201cwhat\u201d instead of \u201cwhy\u201d<\/h4>\n

    \u201cWhy\u201d often implies judgement. As adult learners, your teacher candidate is able to self-assess and will often recognize and correct missteps on their own. In many cases, simply making some non-judgemental responses helps the teacher candidate come to the \u201csolution\u201d on their own. Additionally, non-judgemental responses help communicate that you are open-minded, encouraging, and interested.<\/p>\n

      Tip #3: Ask mediational questions<\/h4>\n

      Mediational questions help bring about a new understanding by posing questions that extend thinking, learning, and planning. They help the teacher candidate make hypotheses and think outside the box.<\/p>\n
