Classroom Transformation by Chasiree https://padlet.com/MooreKnights/Transformation Made with a wish on a star en-us 2018-05-10 17:40:20 UTC 2018-05-18 17:25:42 UTC hello@padlet.com Math e201501724 https://padlet.com/MooreKnights/Transformation/wish/259917680 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!

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.]]> 2018-05-11 12:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/MooreKnights/Transformation/wish/259917986 Math e201501724 https://padlet.com/MooreKnights/Transformation/wish/259918194 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).

    • 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,
