What are some ways that ELA teachers can guide students to the correct answers, without just providing it?
2. What are your most effective reading comprehension/guided reading strategies?
3. What do you think is the perfect "reading" speed? What is too fast? What is too slow?]]> 2021-02-09 22:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cunninghamssean/dbr0zv0ss7420elw/wish/1184878468 taylordougherty https://padlet.com/cunninghamssean/dbr0zv0ss7420elw/wish/1184924113 1. Strategic grouping (H, MH, L, ML is a Kagan strategy that works well) of students with layered in talk-time (Kagan strategy: group consensus) can help to have students do the "work" of finding the answers themselves, so that the teacher is not "telling" them what the answer is (if there is one...often in ELA, there is not!).

2. Active engagement during the read-aloud (see notebook entry)

3. Depends on the reader! This is why choice is so important.]]> 2021-02-09 22:19:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cunninghamssean/dbr0zv0ss7420elw/wish/1184924113 cunninghamssean https://padlet.com/cunninghamssean/dbr0zv0ss7420elw/wish/1184925242 2021-02-09 22:20:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cunninghamssean/dbr0zv0ss7420elw/wish/1184925242 demcguff https://padlet.com/cunninghamssean/dbr0zv0ss7420elw/wish/1184926016 2021-02-09 22:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cunninghamssean/dbr0zv0ss7420elw/wish/1184926016 kathryntwelsh https://padlet.com/cunninghamssean/dbr0zv0ss7420elw/wish/1184928353 2021-02-09 22:21:48 UTC https://padlet.com/cunninghamssean/dbr0zv0ss7420elw/wish/1184928353 swiftwilli https://padlet.com/cunninghamssean/dbr0zv0ss7420elw/wish/1184933962 1.

Should you ever discuss with a colleague when you think they may have gone overboard with a consequence for a student?
2. How do you know when you are being too strict or too lax in your own classroom management?
3. How can you balance having a different classroom management philosophy that is different than team members?]]> 2021-04-13 19:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cunninghamssean/dbr0zv0ss7420elw/wish/1413798202 taylordougherty https://padlet.com/cunninghamssean/dbr0zv0ss7420elw/wish/1414088278 I think that many of the issues you mentioned might be avoided by doing a mini-lesson on group norms.  It might include the following (plus more, I'm sure!):
1. Learning Target: Today I want to teach you that different teachers and classes have different expectations for students, and strong learners take note of these expectations.
2. Ask students what is important to them to be able to learn.
3. Give sentence stems to direct them to norms they may have "missed" (e.g. I read best when...During group work, I can learn best when...I get distracted when...)
4. Make an anchor chart that the class norms can live on.
5. Remind students of group commitments in scenarios in which you predict they may be broken (i.e. competitive games, debates, etc)
6. Use the norms as a restorative way to talk through issues that arise. Remind students that they are the co-author of these norms.
7. Change norms as your students' needs change.]]> 2021-04-13 21:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cunninghamssean/dbr0zv0ss7420elw/wish/1414088278 swiftwilli https://padlet.com/cunninghamssean/dbr0zv0ss7420elw/wish/1414091199 This seems like a case of conflicting expectations between teachers. Setting your expectations clearly at the beginning of the year (periodically reminding) while also reminding students that other teachers have different expectations that need to be followed is a place to start.
On a different hand, sometimes a colleague is going overboard or being too lax and depending on your relationship with them, you might want to talk to them privately about it and where you two can make a compromise.]]> 2021-04-13 21:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cunninghamssean/dbr0zv0ss7420elw/wish/1414091199 kathryntwelsh https://padlet.com/cunninghamssean/dbr0zv0ss7420elw/wish/1414094974 Have you and the teacher come together to write up your own class norms/expectation? Maybe if you did this you all could come up with a middle ground, and if that's not possible, then at least she'll know where you stand on certain student behaviors. Maybe even that alone will make her back off a little on things you disagree with her on.
