I really liked the small group planning idea. It's easier for big classes, small rooms, and conferring with more students on a weekly basis. My goal is to make a predicted conferences document for one of my upcoming units - maybe argumentative writing unit. I'd love to get a second set of eyes on the planned document and topics. I'll also take any recommendations anyone has. :)

Sam's Reflection

2023-09-21 14:03:52 UTC

What?
I find the dynamic between fidelity and responsiveness in the TCRWP program interesting. I love the training and professional development teaching the Units of Study with fidelity can offer, but I also feel ready to embrace the spirit of creativity and invention the approach explicitly encourages. I feel like I understand the broad principles and structures of the workshop well enough to experiment effectively.

What Next?
Incorporating grammar and vocabulary instruction more effectively into my practice. Working with our recently aligned unit overviews to continue developing the complexity.

How?
- Routines that can effectively reinforce grammatical concepts and vocabulary.
- Time to map out and document the newly revising units of study. I understand the importance of being able to document and share the scope and sequence of the curriculum, so having the time to sit with colleagues to justify and document any revisions would be super helpful.

What ideas have you found interesting?

Aligning of UOS 6 - 8

Settling on UOS for 8^th grade

Demo labs were very helpful and talking to Jenny afterwards and receiving suggestions was very valuable.

Time with my colleagues very valuable

Reminders of best practice

Permission to change what was done and try new things

What next – set goals

For me, just learning the new-to-me 8^th grade UOS is my goal for this year. Trusting the UOS process and progressions to guide me and then making adjustments for next year.

How – what do you need to help you achieve your goals?

I would love more planning time with Marissa and Sam

More books for my library, so just-right books are at the students’ fingertips.

Patience while I learn the curriculum, the school, and the students.

I want to read more 6th grade texts to be more informed for book clubs and mentor texts.

Lora

2024-03-05 11:34:23 UTC

Between now and June, I would like to successfully plan, teach and assess the Literary Nonfiction Unit. I'd like to end the. year on a good note by having the students participate in a debate on a subject of their choosing.

Marissa

2024-03-05 11:35:58 UTC

I would like to move all of my units into the same unit planning template, read more of my HF club texts, and finish building a poetry unit that is complete but flexible.
