Disaggregate Instruction Classroom Experiment

Disaggregate Teaching in a Flash

In this clip, you will see a brief ‘documentary-style’ overview of how science instruction can potentially be disaggregated into two components.

This 4-phase instructional approach attempts to separate the lesson into content-focused and language learning-focused components. The initial instruction is conducted without a great deal of academic language use, while the second two phases of the lesson use assessment methods to foster students’ use of science language. The video is approximately 16 minutes long. Please give the web server time to download the entire video clip.

Samples
We are currently exploring the impact of Disaggregate Instruction in contemporary classrooms. To do this, we are working with a variety schools across the country. These project partners teach Disaggregate Lessons in their classrooms to test it’s effectiveness. We are currently looking for project partners to conduct the disaggregate instruction experiment. If you are a credentialed teacher interested in engaging in our experiment, please review the materials below. We are moving towards collecting a number of classroom based experiments and need as many participants as possible to increase our statistical power. Please contact Dr. Brown at brbrown@stanford.edu for more details.
