Teaching Tip

The Student Practices are an important part of pushing students to develop generally applicable skills. It might be good to have teachers reflect on which Student Practices they used in the lesson and then discuss how they are going to have their students work on developing and growing in those practices.

(5 minutes) Reflection: Learners and Teachers

  • Facilitator running debrief should be ready with a reflection prompt and discussion prompt
  • Learners reflect on a prompt and talk about the prompt at their tables.

  • During this time, the teaching group reflects on and discusses the prompts they were given when they started planning the lesson.

(19 minutes) Discussion

  • During the share out make sure one facilitator is taking notes in the shared notes doc

  • First, the teaching group responds to the three prompts they were given when they started planning (Choices Advice, Takeaways)

  • Then, the whole group talks about the lesson. Kick off the whole group discussion with your discussion prompt which is connected to the reflection but different from it. This conversation should focus on teachers teaching this lesson in their classroom. Do not let it focus on workshopping the lesson they just saw.

(1 minute) Next Session Reminders

End of session reminders: Teachers will be headed from this session to lunch. Remind them that after lunch they will return to your room to do another TLO lesson. That session will start at 1pm .
