Next Steps                 

Pick one task for tonight's work. Move to grade level breakout room (for support/ collaboration to discuss ideas).

Task 1- Reflect on formative assessment in planning

  1. How will you communicate student learning expectations for this lesson?
  2. When and how will students receive feedback for their contributions? How/ when will students provide you feedback?
  3. What responsibilities do you students have for assessing each others’ learning?
  4. How will formative assessment be used to monitor student progress?
  5. How will formative assessment be used to determine the effectiveness of the lesson?

Think small shifts: How can I think of assessment as an everyday component of what I do to plan and teach? 

Task 2- Implement a Formative 5 technique 

  1. Questions to guide your planning
    1. What technique will you try? 
    2. What are the different ways students might respond?
    3. When will you implement the technique?
    4. How will you leverage your students’ thinking?
    5. How will you provide feedback?

Task 1- Examine your Instructional approaches

  1. This task involves some honest reflection. Consider how your current practices may or may not support productive struggle In your classroom. What could you shift or try this week?
  2. Think small shifts: direct instruction to part cooperative learning groups? Gradual release style to whole group task

Task 2- Modify Tasks for Productive Struggle

  1. Look at your upcoming week or unit. How can you modify tasks to support productive struggle? The goal Is to Increase student thinking!
  2. Start small: look at some questions for your next lesson, can you modify one problem? How will that affect your classroom discussion? How will that compliment our teaching practices?
