Lakeview Staff Newsletter - November 8
Quote of the Week
When we are intentional, good questions are planned in advance, every learning target is examined, every group is thought out, and so on. That's what we do at Lakeview! Nothing is left to chance. Our culture is intentional, the physical look of our school is intentional, the way we communicate with families is intentional, and certainly the way we teach is intentional.
Being that intentional all the time about everything is why I love education and why I love Lakeview. Thanks, Mrs. Manthe, for helping me realize that!
Hoosiers Strategy
• Pose a question
• Take at least four student responses in quick succession
• Do not respond to any of the four students except to plainly say "thank you" after each
• After all four (or more) responses are given, only then does the teacher dive into responses.
This eliminates the dynamic that happens in a classroom where the teacher only gets one response before moving on. It also values each response in an equal way.
A Procedural Strategy to Try
