Not ready for an extended coaching cycle? Wondering What Else We Can Do Together? See below for other options...
Support for Inquiry in the Classroom
- PROJECT WORK- Want to get started with a whole class project but not sure where to begin? I'd love to help!! Do you have some ideas, but need to brainstorm together? Let's do it!
- GLOBAL CONNECTIONS-How about connecting to other classrooms or experts through Skype or Google Hangout? Want to try a Mystery Location Skype or a Mystery Number Skype? Why not! I'll help you get set up and guide you through the process.
- PROVOCATIONS- Wondering how to get started with provocations? I've got provocations...now what? Let's chat!
- WONDER WORK- Would you like students to follow their own passions? Struggling to get started? I'm happy to help you brainstorm and/or work with you and your class as you go on this exciting adventure!
- STUDENT CHOICE- I'm happy to help you think through student choice in general and how that might look in your classroom.
- DOCUMENTATION- Let's take a look at how you can make some of the awesome work you and your students are doing in the classroom more visible to students, teachers, and visitors to our school!
Support for Improved Student Learning
DIFFERENTIATION SUPPORT-Wondering how you will meet the needs of all learners in your class? Let's work together to come up with a plan to fit all students.
LAB CLASSROOMS- Would you like to see another teacher in action? I can help make that happen and observe/reflect side by side with you.
REFLECTION- Let's work together through discussion and/or observations to reflect on current practices to improve student learning.
ANALYZE DATA- We can analyze class data to help make instructional decisions to best fit the needs of your students.
Writing Units of Study
FES, I have heard your requests for something similar...more to come! :)
