Random daily entrance and or exit tickets

Asking students to give thumbs up or thumbs down to verify understanding of the content.

Looks like students verification of understanding or asking for clarification.

Feels like students can safely & quickly respond without judgement.

Anything that might get in the way of teaching a student? Example, if that student can't have peanuts and your doing a cooking session I guess you have to cook something separate for that one student that can't have peanuts.

Will work on providing specific instructions for students with language and disability barriers, by placing in specific groups to ensure a learning goals are achieved. Example: use Cadet translators to translate curriculum material.

This will look like: Colorful posters in the classroom with images of various foods, knife cuts, animal cuts, and more. Knife cut rulers in the kitchen, along with labels on equipment to help with equipment identification. Paper materials are in model binder and in file folders in classroom. Duplicated in digital format on Schoology. Tables are round which allows for students to work in groups when in classroom. Students have choice as to where to sit and where to work while in the kitchen lab.

Students can talk with peers in the kitchen and can work in teams if desired.

Looks Like:

-Centered based learning

-various activities located around the room (at different tables)

-allowing for different modalities and choice

-Students move from center to center participating in different activities

Sounds Like:

-Student interaction

-Multiple conversations at the same time dependent on task

Feels Like:

-active and engaging

-movement

looks like: students working in small groups, sharing their work and receiving feedback

sound like: on-topic conversation about design decisions

feels like: rewarding, engaged, positive, community

This is important for my english learners to ensure they understand the lesson.

What does it look like

On time, prepared, phone put away.

Sounds like

Students quiet and ready.

Feels like

A good classroom.

1. We are always modeling routines and expectations but it is not always intentional. We need to be aware of what routines are being conveyed as acceptable

I will post notes/presentation in Schoology (and for most units, make a concise handout of the key concepts/terms covered and print out a copy for each student) and emphasize that new concepts/terms have certain vocabulary that we need to learn - just like in any other class - in order to understand what we are talking about and so we have a common language. This understanding will help in solving programming challenges.

2. Students work in small peer groups to help each other through their prescribed daily workout. Students peer coach each other to improve techniques, and encourage each other when performing lifts with good enthusiasm and technique. Looks like: students peer teaching other students in their group(s). Some may demonstration, spot, or correct movements. Sounds like: Students using respectful language to correct any issues in their peer groups, but also encouraging each other in a language they would want to be encouraged themselves.

The room is designed to invite students in with dim lights, peaceful music, positive messages, and quotes to inspire a healthy mindset. Students may choose where to sit. Lessons provide options to meet the students' needs with the flexibility to change every class.

This environment is a safe, non-judgmental space where everyone is welcome. allows students time to reflect, meditate, acknowledge, and focus on their strengths and appreciate their differences.
