TEACHER as Facilitator What Should You See? Instructional Resources aligned to the Standards Instructional Strategies grounded in the “Essential 3” Deeper Knowledge Academic Rigor High level texts, resources, language Teacher AND student Engagement Students engaged in work TEACHER as Facilitator Demonstration of Deeper Knowledge Differentiating Instruction for teaching and learning Collaboration Students- demonstration of knowledge, ability to synergize and learn with/from others Staff/Leaders- Cross Curricular, thematic units: PLC’s

Essential 3: After determining FL Standards being addressed- look for evidence of any of these instructional elements in every lesson

Real-life Application: Recent “Walkthroughs” PCG Education 4/22/2017 Real-life Application: Recent “Walkthroughs” Successes Transitioning towards standards implementation: Close reading- stopping to dig deeper with text. Complex texts, etc. Peer review of work, group collaboration Student centered work Seamless integration of technology. Activities based on thematic lessons/activities Demonstration of knowledge Documentation of textual/further evidence Reading linked to writing and discussion www.pcgeducation.com

Real-life Application: Recent “Walkthroughs” Challenges Engagement: Call and response Limited engagement, demonstration of knowledge Does not differentiate for various learning styles ELL, ESE, etc. Post its? Everyone write answer in journal first! Collaboration Lack of protocols/norms for group work Lack of Outcomes Deeper Knowledge Textual evidence “Bunnies are cute because…” Allow students to show their knowledge in a variety of ways with a variety of solutions Word process and test-based computer skills- we can’t get everyone on the computer
