In comparison to the self-contained model, models of ECS allow teachers to focus on fewer content areas.
To this end, a self-contained model is developed that describes the ignition and combustion process by considering the interaction between turbulence, detailed reaction chemistry, and wall heat loss effects.
Because this research focuses on alternatives to the traditional, self-contained model of elementary instruction, we exclude in the following sections research related to teacher mentoring models of content coaches and intervention specialists and focus instead on full-time classroom teachers who teach two or more classes of students in either mathematics or science.
What affordances and constraints exist in relation to ECS and ECS models, in comparison to a self-contained model? .
Changes to the traditional, self-contained model of elementary instruction have various and interrelated impacts on factors related to instruction.
Of all of the team teaching models, students in model A are exposed to what is closest to the traditional self-contained model of elementary instruction.
The self-contained model requires no additional between-classroom transitions, other than the ones typically required for lunch, recess, and specials.
These continua of factors may support teachers and administrators in their decision-making as they consider alternative instructional arrangements to the traditional, self-contained model.
These continua of factors may support educators in their decision-making as they consider alternative instructional arrangements to the traditional, self-contained model.
Version folders contain their own copy of the training series and of other files storing the model results (not directly accessible to the end-users), thus constituting a completely self-contained model package.
In our discussion of the affordances and constraints, we use both qualitative and quantitative data to characterize and describe the factors associated with ECS models and the traditional, self-contained model.
