13. Six-Step Partner Share
Walk 6 steps, find a colleague:
Share one strategy you have seen or done that models an environment that facilitates active learning, promotes participation, collaboration and teamwork.
When time is called, go to a second person:
Share one strategy that shows flexibility to accommodate multiple learning styles, 21st century skills and reading enjoyment.
Direct participants to stand and find a partner at least six steps from their seat. This partner should be someone from another LEA or charter. Each participant will introduce himself/herself and engage in a conversation around the question provided. When the facilitator indicates it is time to find a new partner, each participant will find a new partner a minimum of six steps from the original partner. Again, the partner should be someone from another LEA/Charter. The process continues until the facilitator sends participants back to their seats. (10-15 mins.)
