Station 2: Cohort Design
- Learning Target: I can connect my classroom layout and my current instructional practices to my school’s blended learning design model.
Directions:
INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITY:- Look at your cohort's design model (linked below) to answer the following questions:
- How many groups are in my design model?
- If the model allows for whole group instruction, how much time is allotted in the model? How is this aligned to my current practice?
- Think about your physical classroom space and set up. How will you move desks? Where could you lead a teacher group session? When you use devices, where could that station go? Would you need to secure an area near an electrical outlet? What else must you consider when physically creating the design structure in your classroom?
- Now look at the colored dots on your model's design diagram. When considering students in your classroom, who might these dots and the different groups represent?
2. Now consider ways you can form groups in your classroom.
- Visit the Google doc and the sites already listed on the doc regarding ways to group students.
- Add other ways you've purposefully formed groups in the past.
- Find at least one online resource that demonstrates ways to effectively group students.
Station 3: Differentiating Content
- Learning target: I can understand how to differentiate the content of my core instruction.
