What do you do in your classroom to improve student learning? How do you know?
What is the evidence? Where is the data to demonstrate improvement?
Teachers don't have time to work on things that are not proven/research based.
Thinking Activities to use in staff workshops
1st word, last word strategy ( a bit like reciprocal reading)
1. Read the material. Highlight 3-4 ideas, phrases, things to clarify
2. 1st person states a phrase or statement
3. 2nd, 3rd people clarifies, questions the statement made by the 1st person
4. The 4th person adds their statement, reflections etc, then synthesises the groups ideas.
5. Rotation begins again with 2nd person and follows the above.
This is a really useful way of quickly clarifying a group reading.
