I use the Summit 7 to purposefully guide instructional planning in the PLC. Having the Summit 7 available during planning leads to more meaningful conversations in the classroom.

Using the Summit 7 in the classroom ensures access to the curriculum for all students and grants access in various styles to meet the needs of all learners.

Using the Summit 7 increases engagement and learning. (Formative assessments, keep students on task, review, fun)

I utilize popsicle sticks and a roll sheets for calling on students. It keeps students on their toes knowing they may be next. To make sure they stay on their toes, I return their sticks back to the pile afterward.

I also combine structured reading and writing with sentence stems to ensure that I am getting the best possible written responses with their CERs.

Not necessarily a question but I’d like to get really solid at three of the seven and then add in more steps.

On an individual basis to tailor each students education, so that I can ensure I am having engaging and meaningful interactions on a daily basis. My main four principles are 1, 2, 4 and 5. I want to learn how to implement 3, 6 and 7.

I am accustomed to cold calling with the name wheel. It provides a level of accountability and allows different students to speak in class. I have used total response when introducing a concept which gives students a chance to self-assess which I think is important in the learning process. CERs with sentence stems also gives students the chance to think deeply about a concept beyond memorization.

The summit 7 provides a baseline to work with even for the most novice of educators. It helps to keep everyone on the same page whilst providing consistency for the students.

Visuals and Vocabulary- preteach, clarify concepts, make connections to prior learning, phenomena

Do you have other strategies that you can provide for structured conversations? I am still trying to find the right fit for my teaching style.

These strategies increase the rigor in the classroom and allow communication and collaboration among the students and teacher. These strategies are student centered and help the teacher be a facilitator to drive learning instead of simply providing instruction.

Some positives I have seen from the summit 7 are increased verbal ques, nonverbal ques, improvement in vocabulary/ vocalization, improved transitions, more engagement from staff within the class when students independently communicate their needs.

I try to include at least 3 per lesson, especially in an ESL classroom. Clear instruction is critical.

#1- examples are always written on a side whiteboard for all to see

#2- sentence stems are crucial, included in slides where students can use or create their own

#3- I use the wheelofnames website works great

#4- whiteboards are always kept under desks

#5- videos/pictures to see vocabulary and concepts

#6 & #7- vary by lesson depending on which language domain we are focusing on

Principles 3 and 6 are hard for me to scaffold, what are some ways in which I can use these while still meeting my students where they are at?

I will have to familiarize myself with the phrase poster. Are word walls required to fulfill strategy 5? Are sentence stems required for all assignments?

If a structured routine is used, students can get used to and build/gain confidence from the steps. They know what to do, how to use it, and even on an off day can still participate. Example- whiteboards under desks to answer individually or using the ‘what to say when you don’t know what to say’ complete sentences given to them.

No questions, but I would like a menu of options for each strategy. :)

No real questions, just understanding how to use them for each individual students takes time and knowledge of your students’ learning habits.
