It's like riding a bike

By Anonymous -
Well, that was quite the hiatus. I truly wanted to start this blog and get some steam behind it. Then life happened. One year and one divorce later. I'm ready to come back to my plan. I'm getting up, brushing off my knees, adjusting my helmet, and getting back on this bike.

I have jotted down some of the ideas I hope to write about it-no, I WILL write about- in the near future. I'm trying to reflect on the things that have had the biggest impact on my teaching, and this is what I've come up with so far:

  1. Unpacking the standards
  2. Project Based Learning
  3. Performance Task Assessment
  4. Creating a YAG (Year at a Glance document)
  5. Creating a Scope and Sequence (more detailed, with resources)
  6. Team Teaching and Planning and How it Saved my Life!
  7. Book Review! First up: Mindset by Carol Dweck
  8. PLC ideas I have for my own campus
  9. What is Differentiated PD?
  10. How and Why I set up my classroom
  11. Peer Coaching-the dream job
  12. A review of an online Math class from Stanford professory Jo Boaler
  13. What is CGI Math?
  14. Number Talks
  15. Math Intervention Steps and Tools
That's a pretty good start, huh? Especially since my goal is to blog once a week. Things will surely arise as the year begins this fall, but I am overwhelmed by this list-it represents everything I've learned just in the last 12 months!! 

I'm excited about this next year's potential. I'm ready to try new things. Call me Mrs. Frizzle, because I'm ready to TAKE CHANCES, MAKE MISTAKES, and GET MESSY!

Laying a Foundation with Kagan Heterogeneous Seating Groups

I'm all for small group instruction. Narrowing down that student-teacher ratio from 22 or 26:1 to 4 or 5:1 is ideal for my understanding where my kids are and for directed instruction that the students stay engaged in. A few questions arise when you dip your toe into a workshop model of instruction . Here are a few I had: 1. How do I group my kids? See Below. 2. What do the other kids do while I pull a small group? It depends. Coming soon. 3. How do I manage behavior in a station/center/rotation atmosphere? See #2. 4. What do I do once my kids are in small group? See #2. I can answer Question #1 today. Heterogeneous grouping a la Kagan. I recently attended a Kagan training that our school hosted. You can buy the book online, as I did prior to attending the training, but the training itself is very helpful in understanding the idiosyncrasies of using the cooperative learning strategies. This is NOT a curriculum. Its a great way to access curriculum in a team building...

Be Flexible...Beyond the Workshop Model

I don't know if I have mentioned the fact that I work with an amazing team of educators. I fancy myself an innovator, but these women push me daily to think deeper, go bigger, and break out of the box. I wouldn't be the educator I am today without them. So many times we sat and discussed how we wish we had more time for this or that (Response To Intervention, Spiral Review, Reflection, etc.) You name it, we wanted to be doing it. Always racing the clock. In most teacher training I have been in, that is the piece that always comes up in the challenges and roadblocks talk. How do I get time on my side? My brilliant fellow teacher, whom I am grateful to call my close friend, suggested we throw the daily schedule out the window...wait, what?! I've been participating in what we called "Flexible Scheduling" for about 3 weeks now. Just as the transition from whole group to a workshop model changed my practice, this has turned my classroom on its head. In the b...

#IMMOOC Dive Under the Iceberg

Sylvia Duckworth's visual representation of success is so revealing. It struck a nerve. I have to be visible not only in my success, but in the process along the way. Process over product, or at least with it. But its a two-way system. I need to share my whole iceberg and look at other's when learning from them. Often we look at people doing amazing things and think, "Wow! They make it look so easy !" I don't know about you, but EASY is a 4 letter word in my classroom. I discourage students to use it because it is undermining for some and unrepresentative for others. So why do I use it? Nothing starts easy for anyone.  The challenge is to follow up those thoughts with "How did she/he get there? What did it look like along the way?" We need to ask those questions when we are learning, and give those answers when we are sharing. Its a true representation that will add fuel to the Crowd Accelerated Innovation. When we can learn from each other...
