Small-Group, Mini-Lesson Observations by Mina Harris https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy en-us 2018-10-16 16:47:01 UTC 2024-05-21 16:26:29 UTC hello@padlet.com After watching the short video, I've noticed the different group settings. Where all the students are engaged in conversation about the activity given. https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/324917285 While the teacher actively moved around the room, listening attentively to what each group has to offer.]]> 2019-01-28 14:06:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/324917285 https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/324917932 I noticed that the Teacher was working with one group while the other students were working on their own.

They were engaged while collaboratively working with each other. Meanwhile, the teacher was facilitating a workshop for "struggling" students. https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/324918762 2019-01-28 14:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/324918762 Student Led Groups hfefferman https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/324919329 I understand the concept that is being shown. However, this particular video was short and it was hard to hear exactly what the student facilitators were saying. In theory, it would be great to have students, who are experts at something teacher their peers. It gives that student confidence and shows other students that if they have something to share they too can become facilitators.]]> 2019-01-28 14:09:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/324919329 At first, I wasn't sure who was the teacher. It appears that everyone was actively engaged. https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/324919426 2019-01-28 14:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/324919426 Video Reflection https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/324919957 The students are highly engaged. The whole class is working towards the same goal but they seem to be working in different ways. The activity promotes student independence. The teacher acts as the facilitator, encouraging students to be accountable for their own thinking.]]> 2019-01-28 14:10:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/324919957 Small group https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/324921244 It is empowering to see students sharing their knowledge, being able to "teach" reinforces their skills and boosts their confidence

Some groups are student lead others have a teacher helping them. Furthermore, it is really not only about the group led by a student who was seen as the expert]]> 2019-01-28 17:40:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/325051885 https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/325052091 - kids sitting on the floor (flexible seating)

The other groups are self-assessing using answer keys provided most likely by the teacher.

]]> 2019-01-28 17:41:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/325052474 I like that the "expert" student is able to take control of her own learning and use her knowledge to assist other students. Lots of differentiation visible in the video. All students appeared to be actively participating and taking ownership of their work. https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/325052652 2019-01-28 17:41:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/325052652 Student Expert nmelendez1 https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/325052690 A student becomes an expert on a topic and teaches it in a small group to his/her peers while classmates take notes.

It was student-led which is great, because students often learn better when they learn from their peers. Students were also working on whiteboards and they were communicating and collaborating with one another in order to find the answer. There was also a self-assessment poster behind the door where students can monitor their own progress. This works really well not only for students, because they get to monitor their progress, but also for teachers, because it informs their next steps. ]]> 2019-01-28 17:42:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/325053166 https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/325053714 I like that the teacher is able to help other students, while the student is able to engage her peers in the lesson. ]]> 2019-01-28 17:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/325053714 Video elatham4 https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/325053952 It was helpful that the desks in the classroom were already placed into small groups already. ]]> 2019-01-28 17:44:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/325053952 https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/325054071 2019-01-28 17:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/325054071 dkapoor https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/325054735 Different entry points for the same skills, student led, teacher supported and collaboration.]]> 2019-01-28 17:45:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/325054735 https://padlet.com/mharris65/tb94etu7uhdy/wish/325054788 I would love to attempt to implement this in my classroom.
