Keeping you Informed
I hope everyone had a great weekend and you got to enjoy the SuperBowl with family and friends. Today is the most missed workday in America, so if you are here, Thank You I know your students are always glad when you are here! Below is a video with Kobe Bryant where he is speaking about motivating teammates. The message can easily be converted to how we motivate our students or even how we can push each other in our own departments. Have a great week!
5forALL Focus
Each week I would like to highlight a technique or strategy that is part of 5forALL.
This week or in the coming weeks take time to look at the structure of your student interactions. Looking at both small collaborations and whole group discussions. See what is working and what can use some tweaking. Are you providing prompts for students to help them engage in the conversation? Are all students participating? Are the answers in depth or just a quick one-word answer?
