The Curriculum Corner: CR-RTI Reflections...Engaging Students
One of the questions that came up during Dwayne Williams' visit was that we love these concepts, but what about the evaluation tool? The fact is that the heart of Williams' CR-RTI model & Danielson's FFT one in the same: student engagement. As we develop activities for our students we must ensure that engagement (and therefore assessment) is observable at all times. It is the difference between calling on one student to respond to a prompt vs. having the entire class respond via white boards, for example. This is also at the heart of our work regarding TPT's (Total Participation Techniques). Take a moment to review the graphic below and consider how your planning supports the various types of engagement. I have also included some TPT documents in this week's email as we will be turn-keying these concepts during faculty meetings throughout the school year. As always, share your thoughts on engagement via email, social media or in the footer of the Buzz...thank you for a fantastic week & have a great weekend!
