Where do you see any of the 5 practices in this video?

On a giant sticky, begin to chart techniques for establishing a classroom environment that works from day one of the school year. Teachers should brainstorm ideas from own experiences and refer to homework in 5 Practices, as well.

Discuss article Never Say Anything a Kid Can Say through a snowball activity:

Instruct teachers to look through the article and locate an idea that impresses you in each of the following two categories: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">1. Questioning Strategies That Work For Me <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">2. Participation Is Not Optional! <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Give participants two different colored papers. Instruct teachers to write the title of category 1 on one colored paper and the title of category 2 on the other. Teachers should then write their highlighted ideas, one on each paper.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Crumple and throw into a center location.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Teachers should grab a crumple in each color and read the highlight. They should write a comment if they would be willing to try it out this school year or how they would modify it. Teachers should also add their highlighted idea to the paper. Crumple and throw back in the pond.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Do two or three rounds of this fishing.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">In a large group discussion: What would you like to share with the whole group from the article? How else can you use this activity? || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Orchestrating Discussions (Emphasize connections) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Maintaining Cognitive Demand || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Have your computer and speakers hooked up and project: ð

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Orchestrating discourse **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">What have you done to increase the amount of discourse in your classroom and what obstacles have you had?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Launch: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">How many of you are teaching differently from the way you were taught?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Give participants a few minutes to work the 4 systems.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Emphasize that they were asked to only use ALGEBRA to accomplish the task. ||  || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Continue the charting of techniques for increasing discourse.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Hand out 1st page of "See You Later Alligator" ||
 * || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Ask: How did discourse encourage the students to use reasoning and sense-making in the video? How did the context of the problem promote discourse?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">What do you think this teacher's mathematical goal was from listening to the discourse?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">See Facilitation Notes for Orchestrating Discourse || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Consider how you can implement discourse into practice next year. || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Watch video Sutorius Teaching.mp4

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Direct groups to make as many posters as necessary to share their tasks and ideas for their learning cycle.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Facilitators will display the following two questions which will guide the discourse for each learning cycle:

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">1. What would you take from this learning cycle and use in your classroom? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">2. What would you want to do differently?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Share

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Share the resources and links

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">15 minutes for making posters.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Facilitators make a poster with the two questions (see left).

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">15 minutes for each group.
