Some students employ it daily, some attempt to take notes daily, while others don't actually understand the concept. This is a great tool, but at this time, I don't think that there is a consistent approach school-wide. 

Collaborative practices are more than just grouping students. Perhaps a professional development that discusses how to build groups, how to facilitate groups, and how to monitor progress would be beneficial. 

In general, planning must be purposeful. Lessons slapped together at the last minute typically fail. Students can tell when a teacher is prepared. It matters.

2-higher-level questions are important but some are stopping at the question without doing the critical thinking implied by the question
3-reflective practice is not as fully implemented as it could be and is not integrated]]> 2018-04-16 19:35:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jeanette_machado/tiwgnu2jxtpd/wish/252321727 https://padlet.com/jeanette_machado/tiwgnu2jxtpd/wish/252323214

Group 1: FOCUSED-NOTES: There are discrepancies in our expectations. We should hold each other and students accountable.
Students do not know HOW to use notes or resources. We should teach them. and monitor their learning and usage of tools.

Group 2: COLLABORATION
There must be a clear purpose when asking students to collaborate. Collaboration is not simply grouping students together.
We should educate our colleagues about effective and meaningful collaborative groupings.

Students should be taught how to take on leadership role within the collaborative groups.

Group 3: HIGHER ORDER THINKING (HOT) QUESTIONS (RIGOR)
Provide PD to our colleagues to help them familiarize themselves with formulating higher order thinking (HOT) questions and probing students to deepen knowledge and understand of concepts. 

Our Colleagues should provide adequate wait time so students can formulate and/or process HOT (higher order thinking) questions.

Deepen knowledge by asking more HOT questions as opposed to seeking correct answer. Often we move on when the correct answer is provided (e.g. technology such as Kahoot, Quizlet Live)  

PLCS - Utilize them to increase rigor (e.g. LOT vs HOT questions)

Group 4: College-Going Culture
Going beyond simply wearing college shirt by embedding college-Talk into our instructional practices on Friday (5 minutes quick writes).

2. Focused-Notes has a tools to learn and study
3. Rigor: Higher Order Questions
Using technology in the classroom needs to be used also as a tool for collaboration and higher order question]]> 2018-04-16 21:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jeanette_machado/tiwgnu2jxtpd/wish/252346868 Amendments 4/17 magda_dominique https://padlet.com/jeanette_machado/tiwgnu2jxtpd/wish/252381081 2018-04-17 00:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jeanette_machado/tiwgnu2jxtpd/wish/252381081 Monitoring student use of notes (Exit Tickets/Do Nows) https://padlet.com/jeanette_machado/tiwgnu2jxtpd/wish/252610640
  • Instead of open notes quiz, why not have students turn  previously written  notes into activities
    1. Video animations (PowToon)
    2. Comic strips
    3. Graphic organizer
    4. Creative Writing
    5. Screencastify notes recap
    6. One Pager
    7. Learning Logs
    8. Photo Project
    • This way students are deepening their understanding of concepts, using their notes, and reaching higher levels of thinking.
