On the other hand, I agree that this is the point in the year where students are understanding what is expected to be successful in class.  

As a personal goal of mine, I would always love to incorporate even more differentiated lesson plans (such as a menu), but would have to work out the rigor in each part, so they are equally challenging.]]> 2017-10-12 14:48:24 UTC https://padlet.com/arlene_e_barte_lowe/gz1sez9cpr1b/wish/196460902 https://padlet.com/arlene_e_barte_lowe/gz1sez9cpr1b/wish/196461127 Right now, at the beginning of the year, students are engaged in whole group instruction, but in planning, the way they meet the objectives engages them in some choice and control over their learning. I think I move from 1 to 3 as well, but I'd like to be at 4 during q. 2. The focus to engage students to challenge their thinking and having the courage to share their original ideas confidently is the foundation of every lesson. ]]> 2017-10-12 14:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/arlene_e_barte_lowe/gz1sez9cpr1b/wish/196461127 https://padlet.com/arlene_e_barte_lowe/gz1sez9cpr1b/wish/196461147 Moving back and forth between steps 1 through 3. As of right now, I think the most effective reading activities happen when we are reading as a whole-group and processing information as a class. However, I hope that the kids will become more independent in their reading process. ]]> 2017-10-12 14:48:46 UTC https://padlet.com/arlene_e_barte_lowe/gz1sez9cpr1b/wish/196461147 https://padlet.com/arlene_e_barte_lowe/gz1sez9cpr1b/wish/196461188 I don't think students are reading much at all yet.  The curriculum is so heavily focused on writing that there has been very little opportunity for reading.   We have given them some choice in text, but there have also been times when it is one text, one product, one process, etc.  I think that knowing who your students are and what they need to be challenged within their zone of proximal development, and giving it to them is more important to determine rigor than just saying rigor is when students regularly have choice.  ]]> 2017-10-12 14:48:50 UTC https://padlet.com/arlene_e_barte_lowe/gz1sez9cpr1b/wish/196461188 https://padlet.com/arlene_e_barte_lowe/gz1sez9cpr1b/wish/196461498
Students have choice but are generally working with the same processes and product. I like the idea of the menu where students can have more choice with product and pacing.]]> 2017-10-12 14:49:23 UTC https://padlet.com/arlene_e_barte_lowe/gz1sez9cpr1b/wish/196461498 https://padlet.com/arlene_e_barte_lowe/gz1sez9cpr1b/wish/196461575 Currently at step 2-3. Different s students seem to respond to different stages of the continuum.  

Every class has some students I would trust with the top step, but also those that currently need more structure]]> 2017-10-12 14:49:31 UTC https://padlet.com/arlene_e_barte_lowe/gz1sez9cpr1b/wish/196461575 https://padlet.com/arlene_e_barte_lowe/gz1sez9cpr1b/wish/196463872 With consideration of doing a choice for product, process, and pace, uisng a forum such as EDPUZZLE can allow students to individualize the content to the students engagement area as well as allow teachers to increase instructional support.]]> 2017-10-12 14:53:01 UTC https://padlet.com/arlene_e_barte_lowe/gz1sez9cpr1b/wish/196463872
