I would first ask the teacher to explain the current expectation and procedures for completing a TRF. Together we could create a T chart to diagram the Glows and Grows of the current process. Then, we could work together to turn grows into glows.

How can I get my students to go back to their focused notes to review and use as a study tool?

I would start with questions aroudn process the note-taking within the classroom.
• How often do you have students take notes in your classroom? What do the notes look like and sound like? Do you have students process their notes as a bell ringer?
• Then, I would ask the teacher to show me examples of the notes in the classroom and speak to how he/she/them finds evidence of learning through the notes.
• Last, I would share out my observations and we would discuss the next steps and set some goals around the expectations of how FNT will look, sound, feel like during instruction moving forward.

I am really struggling with getting my kids to complete their TRFs.
Do you think they struggle with what to write? Have you thought about giving your students a few minutes the day before they are do to brainstorm their TRFs? You know, discuss the classes they share and where they all might be struggling with a concept?

How can I get my students to go back to their focused notes to review and use as a study tool?

I would guide the educator in thinking about the importance of the focused notes process and the benefit of their use with review and use as a study tool. I would ask the instructor why the notes are important to the learning - what aspects of the note taking process are useful to the lesson? Also, I would ask the educator what aspects of the note taking process deepen the learning of content. I would encourage the educator to reflect and think about the use of the entire process and how it impacts the learning objectives and overall goal of the lesson. Then, I would ask the educator how they could guide students in learning to connect the note taking process with their learning. Ask the educator how they can support the use of the note taking process in the scaffolding of the learning. I might offer suggestions, but ultimately, I would like the educator to own the process.

Most of my class just failed the last test, and I am already far behind the rest of the teachers. What should I do?
I understand your concern about falling more behind but lets try come up with some before school and after school and even during lunch time solutions that would take less in class time to ensure mastery learning.

Also consider how lack of understanding in this unit might impact the next one? Maybe think about the key concepts needed as a foundation for the next unit?

How can I get my students to go back to their focused notes to review and use as a study tool?

I had great success when I gave students an assignment without providing any instructions regarding FNT.  Then I provided a set of comprehensive FNT's and connected them to an assignment that required students to use the notes to complete the assignment.  Later, I pointed out how easy it was to do the assignment because of the notes.  Sometimes the grappling process is a better teacher than telling students to take notes.  FNT has obvious benefits for us but sometimes you have to narrow the lens of understanding so that students are forced to see the value of FNT. Then I provide a refresher on FNT and practice modeling FNT with the students.

I’ve got this great idea for tomorrow’s lesson, but I just can’t figure out how to scaffold it for my Excel students.
HI ___,
I have had that happen more than once to me. Why don't your walk me through the idea for your lesson and let's talk about the places your Excel students might struggle with and brainstorm ideas to support them.

I really want to have my students practice more collaborative inquiry activities in learning groups, but I'm afraid that they just can’t handle working on their own.
Beginning with the current use of collaborative inquiry would allow the teacher to share what has been used previously, how students have engaged (strengths and challenges). Allowing the teacher to share first and then providing examples of how I have taught collaboration with adults even, and maybe share together examples of how we both have experienced collaborative sessions. Focusing on what the teacher wants to have happen and how our own lwarning experiences were used, allows us to collaborate for next steps.

Do you have a WICORized lesson on cells ready for my science class that I could use tomorrow?

Although I think we can really take this situation and make it fit in any of these. I would like to see questioning of what they have done in the past? of what we have gone over could you see any of these ideas fitting into that lesson? What is the best part of this topic, which is the hardest for the students? where do you need to add scaffolds?

1. What have you tried so far?... Of the ideas that have worked that you shared, what commonalities do they share?
2. Why do you want students to use their FNT as a study tool? How have you shared the relevance and the "why" with your students? Could students be helpful in brainstorming the why?
3. Would it be possible to build in time during the AVID elective for students to interact with their notes? How can you make this routine note-interaction and study tool time?

Share with me what you have tried.  What results have you seen as a result of those efforts?  Was there one idea that produced the greatest result?  How might you tweak what you have already tried to obtain a better result? What is the purpose of TRFs, and how can you project that purpose to your students?

Tell me more about your thinking in this situation.  How are you feeling about the class failing the last assessment?  What would have been a more likeable outcome for you?  How would you put things in place to assure a more favorable result on the assessment?  What resources do you have or need that would assist you in reaching that outcome?  What solutions or ideas do you have?

I would like to integrate some routines and procedures so that my students utilize their interactive notebooks more often after the lesson.

#6. (DS) I've got this great idea for tomorrow's lesson, but I just can't figure out how to scaffold it for my Excel students.  Walking the teacher through a series of questions to see what she understands about Excel scaffolding could possibly lead to her realizing she has the tools, but just needed to determine which ones to use and how.

I really want to have my students practice more collaborative inquiry activities in learning groups, but I'm afraid that they just can’t handle working on their own. Before I offer my suggestion, I would invite others to share experiences and brainstorm ideas. If discussion does not become productive or it starts going into different direction I would provide suggestion/idea posed as question so that my suggestion invites others to respond.

Obviously the teacher is just looking for an immediate solution.

I am really struggling with getting my kids to complete their TRFs... I would share experiences and tried practices from other teachers. Create a foundation that many teachers struggle with this same issue and identify some successful practices.

I would want to see ideas being shared for this example rather than the facilitator simply giving advice.

Mrs. Knot,  I hear what you are saying about being behind and how you may think your students may not be ready to move ahead.  Have you used a One-Pager as an assessment tool? This is a great way to see what they have learned and if they really grasped the different concepts throughout this unit.  What are your thoughts about One Pagers?
