Needs-Grade 2

2022-08-24 17:08:33 UTC

I need a modeled lesson in the content strand of number. How do I differentiate and guide students to inquire, reflect and take action.

Got: What resonated with me

2022-08-24 17:09:32 UTC

That idea of our teaching being just in time... not just in case really resonated with me. Thank you! Looking forward to learning from you this year!

What would you find most helpful to explore next?

2022-08-24 17:10:33 UTC

I would like to know how to better conduct Math inquiry with various levels in my French immersion class.

MarFolgueiras1 — 2022-08-24 17:12:50 UTC

Asking questions , thinking and doing, is a useful structure to remember for planning and keeping in mind what is our priority : children. That is what I am carrying with me.
I would find it helpful to end our meetings / sessions with specific reflexions, thoughts, ideas and / or tools, to try when going back to class.

Decision Making Moments

2022-08-24 17:12:57 UTC

What resonated with me were the levels of learning; surface, deep, and transfer. While I never labeled these levels as such, I think the way I teach inherently relies and uses these 3 levels of learning.

My wonder is about the decision making moments you talked about. One final decision making moment in our school is when the time comes to report. Our report cards place students as either emerging, developing, demonstrating and extending. How do we quantify the inquiry learning on a report card, if a student can be anywhere in their learning journey?

What are some concrete examples of how a teacher can design an assessment of transfer?

2022-08-25 13:46:47 UTC

2022-08-31 11:53:51 UTC

Resonated: "There is no ahead or behind, it is just where they are on the journey."

Question: How do we come to a collective understanding of ranges of learning for a grade level as colleagues, with parents...and to express where they are without shame on the report cards.

Grade 1 Feedback from today

2022-10-21 19:01:37 UTC

It was great! Lots of information! It did feel like a lot.
Our request as grade 1
Because our terminology may differ from yours, and since we have non-native English speakers, it would be helpful to give more concrete examples to make sure we understand what you mean.
Can you name it when you see us do these things in the classroom? (when you come visit/when Marie visits our room she can do this)

Here's a menu of possibilities for leveraging share time—in math as well as across and within any discipline.
