TEACHING: PRACTICE WITH YOUR LESSONS (GRADES K-5) Welcome Back! Facilitator Notes: Thank you for your time and attention this morning!

TEACHING: PRACTICE WITH YOUR LESSONS (GRADES K-5) Objectives & Agenda Prepare a lesson from your own unit for teaching, including “Load- Bearing Walls” and/or Connections to Prerequisites Identify concrete individual commitments and team structures for continuing curricular work during the school year Agenda: Reflection on the Morning Preparing a Lesson for Teaching Break Table Teaching Team Reflection: Taking This Work Home Facilitator Notes: (2 min) This afternoon, we’ll focus on planning our two moves from the morning into your own materials, and then practicing them, live, in our table groups.

TEACHING: PRACTICE WITH YOUR LESSONS (GRADES K-5) I TEACHING: PRACTICE WITH YOUR LESSONS (GRADES K-5) I. Reflection on the Morning Partner Share: Share something you learned this morning that you can take back to your classroom. How will you work this idea into your normal routine? Facilitator Notes: (7 min) Teachers have all kinds of different systems and routines for planning. The purpose of this question is to get participants thinking about how they might incorporate the learning from this morning into their daily and weekly routines.

Select a 3-4 minute section from your own lesson. TEACHING: PRACTICE WITH YOUR LESSONS (GRADES K-5) II. Preparing a Lesson for Teaching Select a 3-4 minute section from your own lesson. Prepare the lesson plan: examine the standards, highlight and/or add Load-Bearing Walls or Connections as needed. Prepare your “board” and any manipulatives you’ll need. Facilitator Notes: (25-35 min total: 5 min for directions/lesson selection + 10-15 min lesson preparation + 10-15 minute materials preparation) To see how well our plans will work in “real life,” we’re going to practice delivering a portion of one lesson to the teammates at our tables. This type of practice feels a little awkward at first, but it’s the only way to know that our planning is feasible for students. We’re going to “zoom in” on the part of the lesson where students do their most important thinking. Four minutes isn’t a lot of time, so you’re probably only looking at one key problem and the questions around it. (Table leaders will monitor time and assist participants at their tables as needed. Prompt participants to move from one phase of planning to the next.)

Introduction: 2 sentences Standard and objective/aim TEACHING: PRACTICE WITH YOUR LESSONS (GRADES K-5) Table Teaching Protocol Introduction: 2 sentences Standard and objective/aim Brief lesson context Go “all in” for your role Use your “teacher voice” Stay in character the entire time Next person in line is “coach”: keeps time (4 minutes, + 1 extra if needed) and gives feedback: 1 content-related “glow” 1 content-related “grow” for next time Facilitator Notes: (45-55 min total: 5-10 min model + 40-45 min table teaching) Quickly go over each point. Use the participants at one table as an example to show how the teaching/coaching cycle will go. “Students” should model good behavior and give grade-appropriate responses. We’re practicing a certain aspect of lesson delivery, so we want to allow our teammates to focus on what’s most important. Model teaching Exercise 2 from EngageNY Kindergarten, Module 1, Lesson 6: Designate a table leader as your coach. (It may help to discuss with the coach ahead of time what “content-related” feedback looks like—e.g. suggestions for questions to ask, or content points that could be made more clearly—so that participants hear the type of feedback they should be giving one another.) (CLICK) Give a two-sentence introduction. (Example: “This is lesson on K.CC.B.4 and K.MD.B.3 is very early on in the year and students sort by count of up to 4. They determine which sets are twos, which are threes, and which are fours. In this lesson, I’ll be using a bundles of objects of up to 4 objects that students count, and then they sort categories by count. Quickly teach the lesson, modeling “all in” performance. Elicit one content-related glow and one content-related grow from your coach.

TEACHING: PRACTICE WITH YOUR LESSONS (GRADES K-5) IV TEACHING: PRACTICE WITH YOUR LESSONS (GRADES K-5) IV. Team Reflection: Bringing the Work Home On Your Own: How will the learning from each day in our course impact your own daily and weekly practice? Consider: Day 1: Aligning Day 2: Adapting Day 3: Teaching Facilitator Notes: (20-25 min) Move teachers into district/school groups. Give teachers several minutes to reflect on these questions individually. Then allow them to share with partners at tables, and finally with the whole group. Encourage participants to translate their thinking into concrete goals.

TEACHING: PRACTICE WITH YOUR LESSONS (GRADES K-5) IV TEACHING: PRACTICE WITH YOUR LESSONS (GRADES K-5) IV. Team Reflection: Bringing the Work Home As a School or District Team: What structures can your team put in place to keep this work alive during the school year? Facilitator Notes: (20-25 min) During this part, teams should collaborate to develop a list of action items for the school year. What structures will help them carry out their individual commitments, and what structures rely on the participation of everyone on the team? Consider having teams generate one last poster with this information and presenting to the group.
