We talk about strengthening the content (making it more available for a student to recall);
and strengthening a student’s behavior (making it more likely that the student will behave in a way we want him/her to)
Activity: (1) Break into small groups based on the reading, Praise or Feedback,
and answer the associated questions.
(2) Regroup so each group has at least one person who read each reading and teach each other the content
of the reading they did not do.
Activities:
Break into groups of three or so and together fill in these
notes.
Gather back into a class and talk through the guided notes together.
(2) Work in (A,B) pairs.
Partner A has 30 seconds to name as many ways to open a class as he/she can.
Partner B has 30 seconds to explain which of those suggestions he/she thinks would be the
most effective regular opening for his/her class.
Next Partner B has 30 seconds to list as many ways to close a class as he/she can.
Partner A has 30 seconds to explain which of those suggestions would be most appropriate in his/her class.
For Next Week: Perform an observation in another class using this form.
