Beautiful problem solving! Differentiated using varying DOK levels; being able to solve problems and create their own. Step by step modeling, using prior knowledge, making connections, and scaffolding to build student confidence and mastery. Using small groups, manipulatives.

Concrete (e.g. students working in small groups with manipulatives)

Representational (transitioning from hands-on to modeling on paper - models, tables, number lines...)

Abstract

Students collaborating and rotating among groups/stations. Perseverance!

# data[].attributes.body
It looks like students working together in collaborative groups to master the learning target.  Focused conversation is taking place among all students using AKS aligned vocabulary, citing evidence, using context clues. Students are defending and debating in an appropriate and supportive manner for growth. Consensus is made and respect is developed. Students are writing by citing evidence and explaining their thought process through their writing. Teacher mini-lesson is small portion of class and student work time makes up largest portion of class. Peer and teacher relationships are developed and positive interactions are evident. Teachers are moving around the classroom and facilitating, and/or conferring.

Collaboration; sharing strategies and solutions. Modeling think aloud strategies while problem solving. Enlightenment; the light bulb goes off! A positive learning and working environment. Students coaching and questioning each other using speaking/reading/writing/listening strategies (i.e. summarizing learning, respectfully disagreeing). Feedback between student and teacher and student and student.

Conversations: student to student and teacher to student

Students are asking questions, communicating effectively while using the vocabulary of the AKS, and sharing information/ideas with one another.

Think aloud

Teacher models what a "think aloud" looks like for the students.

Students practice on a consistent basis.

Students moving from one area to another

Exchanging information, making decisions, formative assessments (ex. Four Corners, Stick Notes) which provides feedback to teachers

Differientated workstations based and on choice (learning style) and academic needs,

Excitement! Engagement! Realistic!  Relevant!
Goal setting and growth mindset; encouraging students to go further than "just passing."
Purposeful in choosing the problems students work on. Comfortable, safe, and confident with sharing solutions. Students feel ambitious and accomplished. They see mistakes as a growth opportunity. Self-actualization.

Not quiet - Students respond to questions in groups (opinions and facts).

Safe and inviting, environment, students are free to express themselves with opinions and statements related topic. Everyone has a part (pairs, zigsaw, circle of knowledge, etc.)

Safe learning environment

Students can express their ideas without judegment. Student don't feel intimidated for anwsering a question incorrectly.

Collaborative/Small Groups

Working together as as unit on a common goals: student centered labs/projects (Plan and Carry Out an Investigation)

Real world (problem solving) Phenomenon

Teacher serves as facilitator

Stimulating, inviting, supportive, engaging. A safe place to ask questions, to debate, and to clarify misunderstandings. A place students want to be. A place students enjoy learning.
