To do this, I have been doing a lot of modeling on how to read the questions and find their answers. I try to include as much think aloud (metacognition) modeling as I can so the students understand how I am working through the problems.]]> 2019-01-14 14:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320294328 TG https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320294528 By creating greater transparency in my standards and objectives, students will have a greater understanding of how to be successful in class. This will relate to the research project that is part of my IGP.  This will also allow students to be able to self-evaluate and give each other feedback as well. ]]> 2019-01-14 14:17:34 UTC https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320294528 https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320294727 Academic Feedback - Peer-Editing Workshops & Student Self-Reflection

However, since I am focusing on QAR questions and key words, it doesn't fit exactly. Some days I model what they need to do depending on the assignment. I definitely include respectful culture on a daily basis. I always use mastery criteria when doing writing assignments.]]> 2019-01-14 14:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320295243 https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320295803 I am focusing on the metacognition strategies with my students. They are getting a better understanding of what is expected of them when they are writing a paragraph. ]]> 2019-01-14 14:19:50 UTC https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320295803 Connection https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320335076 I am focusing on Zones of regulation activities and materials that are challenging, elicit a variety of thinking from students that will enable them to apply those skills outside of my classroom.

The portion in cluster devoted to Expectations fits this perfectly by helping me devise a clear communication to students that meets my vision.]]> 2019-01-14 16:13:20 UTC https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320367298 https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320367311 My IGP is focusing on differentiating instruction/blended learning. Working with differentiating instruction, activities and materials, and teacher knowledge of students has helped me plan my implementation of the Grid Method in my classroom. Students work through the grid at their pace, which allows me to work with individual students or small groups to ensure all students are getting their needs met.

I then can sort that work and allow students to start on the grid or if they need some reteach prior to starting the unit. https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320367485 2019-01-14 16:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320367485 By teaching phonics and decoding strategies my students will have a better understanding of their learning targets and objectives. My IGP is specific and measurable to help my students meet their goals. https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320367702 2019-01-14 16:13:57 UTC https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320367702 Cluster/IGP Connection https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320368196 I am focusing on specific reading strategies to increase student comprehension which relates to the standard of teacher knowledge of students.

The grouping of students to do a project is a good way to demonstrate their understanding of the expected outcomes. ]]> 2019-01-14 16:15:22 UTC https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320368625 IGP Connection https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320480545 I am focusing on getting students to use CUES as an automatic tool in their tool box as a way to help them focus and problem solve.  Presenting Instructional Content reminds me that I need to be using it myself all the time.  My math models shouldn't be about CUES itsel but CUES is the strategy I use while I model problem solving.]]> 2019-01-14 19:16:31 UTC https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320480545 Cluster/IGP Connection https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320480609 Our focus has been on the CUES strategy in problem solving. This correlates with instructional plans and giving clear expectations through master criteria. ]]> 2019-01-14 19:16:37 UTC https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320480609 https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320480616 My IGP focus is teaching students to apply the CUES strategy to word problem solving. This relates to presenting instructional content because I do a lot of modeling and talking through my thinking process. CUES also has clear criteria/steps to follow when applying the strategy.]]> 2019-01-14 19:16:37 UTC https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320480616 https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320480657 I see the impact of all the strategies but specifically the mastery criteria and modeling both through metacognition and student work.  Students  understanding what is expected helps to not only see where they are as a learner but where they need to go.  I think my modeling has really helped the students to understand the mastery criteria as well.

The cluster around modeling and showing expectations/criteria helped bring this to the kids and is something I keep doing with them when there is new learning and expectations in their assignments.]]> 2019-01-14 20:11:11 UTC https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320515617 IGP/Cluster Connection https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320516069 During cluster, I am learning strategies that if I use them in my classroom, hopefully, students will achieve success. I am working on modeling student work and making sure I inform students what my mastery criteria is. ]]> 2019-01-14 20:12:00 UTC https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320516069 CLUSTER to IGP https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320516121 I am focusing on setting high and demanding expectations for my students. The two or three weeks focused around expectations connect closely, but almost all of them relate in one way or another to my IGP focus.

They all need different things to be successful, resulting in me needing to differentiate the supports that are needing.

Not every single student needs the QAR strategy. But knowing my students, there are several students who need that step by step process of helping them completely follow the directions. Some things that went into having knowledge is to plan and model my expecations for what I want. That would also include having student examples and non- examples ready for the students.]]> 2019-01-14 20:13:00 UTC https://padlet.com/zeutenhorstshannon/q0viau9v3ng6/wish/320516579
