8. 5. In-Class Brainstorming
Data-Infusion
How on earth do I go about getting data from an anti-bullying lesson like that?!
In a small group, think about ways you might infuse data into this anti- bullying lesson. Specifically:
What would we want to measure? (e.g., What key terms, words, concepts, etc. are we measuring?)
How can we go about measuring? (e.g., What kind of data will we collect? What can serve as a piece of data?)
How can we use the data to tell us something? (e.g., What are we going to do with data we collect?)
How do we make it even mildly interesting for students?

Food For Thought…
What are some ‘surprise’ considerations for classroom guidance? (i.e., classroom management skills, activities, etc.)
What examples of classroom guidance lessons are you seeing at your Prac site?
How are you seeing data infused into classroom guidance lessons?
How might you observe classroom guidance at different sites/levels to expand your repertoire?
