follow along, and fill in the notes as written. This strategy can be adapted to be beneficial for all
students.
Expanded Description
Guided note-taking is a strategy the presents an outline from a teacher to their students
while addressing the needs of the students. This strategy can help all students regardless of
subject during a teacher directed activity or lecture. Historically this approach produced greater
gains on tests.
Guided notes first started out in a middle school setting where it worked well. Then
guided notes where adapted for all grade levels from elementary through college level courses.
This strategy was intended to help students with and without disabilities. Guided Notes help
learners follow a lecture, identify its important points, develop a foundation of content to study,
distinguish between main versus secondary points, and examples versus digressions.
Guided Notes provide a handout to students that have spaces available for them to write
down lesson concepts and allows the student opportunities to demonstrate appropriate classroom
behavior. Notes that are reviewed by the teacher can provide positive reinforcement. Guided
Notes can be adapted to any instructional level and altered for students with specific skill
deficits. Guided Notes are inexpensive and efficient. They also allow teachers to exhibit their
own style and are often preferred over “regular” notes by both teachers and students.

Essential Components/ “How to” Information Materials Needed:  Paper  Pencil or Computer (based on the student’s individual needs)  Textbook/Readings (if applicable)  Materials for lecture (If necessary)  Powerpoints, Smartboard activities, supplementary handouts

Steps:  Step 1: Develop an outline of the lesson/assigned reading. This outline should include the key concepts of the area being taught or read.  Step 2: Create a handout/outline that allows the students to write in specific details regarding the lecture/assigned reading. This handout should at least include the topic and main ideas. Depending on the academic level, the teacher can adapt the outline to be as thorough as filling in one word to complete a detail or idea.  Step 3: Pass out the guided notes to the students prior to the lecture/reading and instruct them to fill out the notes during the lecture/reading assignment.  Step 4: Have the student read over the guided notes before starting the lecture/reading to get an idea for what they need to be listening to or looking for.  Step 5: Have students complete the guided notes as lecture is going on or as they read the assigned passage(s).  Step 6: Collect the finished guided notes from the students to make sure they are accurately taking notes.  Step 7: The student will look over the key phrases on the handout/ outline.  Step 8: The teacher will have written a review/ quiz of the information on the guided notes with the covered key topics. Implications for Practice  Guided notes give students the ability to identify important information during a fast paced lecture or activity.  Guided notes keep the students on task and engaged for a longer period of time during a lecture.  Research has proven that when students were trained to use the guided notes, they gained a higher grade and answer more questions during testing.  Guided notes give students a greater time to focus on what they are taking notes on rather that just writing what they hear in a lecture. Possible Adaptations/Modifications  Making the blanks shorter so the students are required to write fewer words
