Snapshot of our day: A (very) quick intro Stations: 15 minutes per rotation Debriefing on Stations Edcamp Style PD Debriefing on Edcamp .. Tata!

Our goals today are to: Make connections between our programs and our practice Experience learner centered models Model implicit use of technology

Our program values Student centered Student sharing Student choice Student as expert Valuing student time What’s inspiring change in practice.. Our programs hold these values so our practice need to hold these values as well

How are we modeling these values? Student centered Student sharing Student choice Student as expert Valuing student time What’s inspiring change in practice.. Our programs hold these values so our practice need to hold these values as well

Good question!

Stations

Stations EdCamps Teacher How can the Station Rotation model support Learning Situations? Stations EdCamps How can edcamp be useful for DBE implementation? Teacher Why do we have to change our practice?

15 minute rotations

EdCamp Group 1 notes How can Edcamp be useful for DBE implementation? Flexibility Participants are more involved Surveying needs Surveying knowledge

EdCamp Group 2 notes How can Edcamp be useful for DBE implementation?

EdCamp Group 3 notes How can EdCamp be useful for DBE implementation? Could use in class with students or out of class with staff. Provides choice, ensures feedback. Can allow for more people to express themselves. Grouping ideas allows different voices to emerge. Be active participants. Increase engagement

Learning Target: Assess the relevance of stations for DBE Stations Station Learning Target: Assess the relevance of stations for DBE This is an individual activity.

Thank you.

Debriefing the Stations: Rationale How can the Station Rotation model support Learning Situations? Stations Edcamps How can edcamp be useful for DBE implementation? Teacher Why do we have to change our practice?

Individual reflection activity Debriefing the Stations: Rationale Stations Individual reflection activity Time to think on your own Modeling structured video & reading activity Teacher Edcamps Guided conversation Touching base with all Raison d’être of station rotation model for formative assessment potential Preparing for next activity Group conversation Collaborative note-taking Modeling implicit tech use This is the rationale for structure, not necessarily content.

and remember

This is about you

Did this format help facilitate conversation?

Debriefing: EdCamps Recognizing teacher expertise - the answers live in all of us together Providing choice in what you want to talk about Modeling participant-driven practices for the classroom Notetaking Role = PD reinvestment

so...

How are we modeling these values? Student centered Student sharing Student choice Student as expert Valuing student time What’s inspiring change in practice.. Our programs hold these values so our practice need to hold these values as well

To do Make sure we have post-its and pens at the teacher station (tracy) PRint Tracy’s Observeme x 2 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1SZpG8iOaCQUzuBUT0HO2OM3e3tkvUolOnhkYOXyQnIU/edit?usp=sharing Bring FUN NAME badge from home Audio Splitter + headphones (no cases), 2 x casio, 1 x Epson Think a bit more about what we need to say for slide 7 - Let’s revisit on Tuesday and make some concrete links to the program Make solid links to the reform Avi - casio, epson, headphones, splitter Guest accoutn on Avi’s Mac Tracy - ipad mini, laptop, casio, iPad 10
