DPS-Odell Principles by BRANDON HINES - He, Him, His

Vertical Integration - giving students the opportunity to have consistent curriculum through high school that allows them to continue to explore topics of interest

When are we going over district expectations? Each unit is 20+ lessons and I've been told we are expected to teach both units in a quarter. I'd like to know which assessments and lessons I'll be expected to have prepared for the quarter that starts in six days.

Students are able to explore their own interests while working collaboratively with peers--encouraging both agency and independence in their learning journey

The curriculum is inquiry based giving students agency and an ability to explore important concepts.

students have a variety of ways to engage in the learning and there is choice in the learning. An Odell classroom is collaborative and allows students to drive the conversations and analysis, and engage in productive struggle.

equips students for multiple pathways post- secondary education.

Student Agency

"Individual and collective agency is integral to the program. Students choose not only their research interests in the Foundation and Application units but also how they will express their learning."

What it looks/sounds like....

raylene_kaufman — 2024-08-13 16:29:36 UTC

Students are actively engaged in their learning. They are asking questions and are developing more than one answer. They are using inquiry-based learning strategies.

The teacher offers scaffolding and support.

2024-08-13 16:32:11 UTC

Student conduct their own analysis

Engage with peers

Reflect on learning

Ask questions

Engage with research

As I was reading, I was thinking... where is the student choice?! But happy to see it as an option in the Foundation and Application section. And seems that teacher facilitation and flexibility is high

Asset-based. Students independently conduct research and use it to defend their perspectives. Choice and engaging, inclusive readings

2024-08-13 16:33:17 UTC

Conduct their own analyses/support ideas with textual evidence

Student Agency: The students are the ones driving

rena_nagovan — 2024-08-13 16:34:27 UTC

Engaging with classmates, where teacher is the facilitator

Still looks like a social studies curriculum

2024-08-13 16:34:34 UTC

No mention of "story" or "fiction

2024-08-13 16:35:05 UTC

Students engage in learning by asking questions and developing more than one answer. Inquiry-based learning strategies are key in understanding the content.

The curriculum really emphasizes independent / group inquiry and group presentations

2024-08-13 16:37:13 UTC

Seems like presentations are the new writing?

Group work and the avoidant student

2024-08-13 16:37:51 UTC

Would love a guide for best approaches here.

Teacher Flexibility

2024-08-13 16:38:03 UTC

I found it interesting how they allow you to use it as a canned curriculum, but they emphasize you can use your resources to make completely unique lessons for the culminating task. They also mention teachers can create their own tasks for students as well.

Does Odell provide individual assessments or are they group?
