Answer to Question 1
Answer: Responses should address using best practices to promote good teaching. Teachers and students benefit from clear goals and quality instruction. Lessons need to be differentiated based upon student needs. Ideal teaching situations allow students to practice to master new objectives in supportive manners.
Answer to Question 2
Answer: Five factors impacting oral language development include 1) the variety of words used, 2) positive feedback tone, 3) elaboration on topics, 4) giving children choices as they engage in verbal interactions, and 5) listening to and responding to the children. Given this type of background, students enter school with considerably different levels of oral language. How teachers approach these disparities impacts students, as research suggests these differences alone do not impact school success.
