2. How many times have you read this quote?

3. TODAY, WE WILL EXPLORE, DISCUSS AND PLAN STRATEGIES WHICH WILL ENABLE YOU TO FULFILL THIS CHALLENGE.

4. TOTAL PARTICIPATION TECHNIQUES

5. What are Total Participation Techniques? ◦Discuss with a neighbor what you think TPTs are.

6. Total Participation Techniques… ◦ensure active participation and student engagement by ALL students. ◦provide constant checks for understanding ◦provide you with effective ongoing formative assessments

7. Good News!! Most of you are already using TPTs. Today, we will concentrate on ensuring higher-order thinking through the use of TPTs.

8. Why actively engage students in the learning process? ◦A. to develop students who are not “listening objects” ◦B. to battle against the ever increasing dropout rate ◦C. to fight against boredom ◦D. all of the above

9. ON-THE-SPOT TPT’S

10. “On-the-Spot” TPTs are activities which allow teachers to quickly gauge the depth of student learning. ◦1. Think-Pair-Share ◦2. Quick Writes ◦3. Quick Draws ◦4. Chalkboard Splash ◦5. Processing cards ◦6. Similes ◦7. Ranking ◦8. Numbered Heads Together ◦9. Thumb Up/Down Vote

11. What do I need? Laminated light- colored paper Sock Dry-ease pen Index cards Laminated hundreds/ABC chart Guided note- taking templates

12. ACTIVITY On-the-spot TPTs

13. 1. Locate the TPT cards on your table. 2. Divide into grade levels. 3. Your grade level will be the “expert” at your selected TPTs. 4. Brainstorm class scenarios that would be appropriate to using this TPT, including the HOT (Higher Order Thinking) extension. 3-5 Minutes

14. Grades Pre-K, K, 1: - Think-Pair-Share - Thumbs Up/Down Vote - Quick Draws - Quick Writes Grades 2, 3, 4: - - Numbered Heads Together - Processing Cards - Ranking - Chalkboard Splash - Similes

15. USING A POST-IT NOTE ON YOUR TABLES, PLEASE COMPLETE THIS SENTENCE: “I THINK TPTS ARE ______________” Model of Chalkboard Splash TPT

16. Read your fellow teacher’s replies to the chalkboard splash. Discuss with your table mates, the following: SimilaritiesDifferencesSurprises Make a visual similar to the above chart to record your table’s responses.

18. HOLD UPS Response Cards

19. When a teacher uses response cards: Student participation INCREASES Student achievement INCREASES Disruptive behaviors DECREASE

20. Open your bags to explore the hold- ups provided.

21. Hold ups are interaction-based activities that use response cards

22. Selected Response Cards relate to a specific prompt or question.

23. How to ENSURE Higher-Order Thinking with Hold-Ups ◦ Provide students with an opportunity to explain their thinking, hear opposing responses, and come to their own conclusions through a revote. ◦Intentionally create and embed questions requiring higher order thinking. Students need to analyze and make connections. ◦Students need to practice defending their responses.

24. Reflect: Count off 1-3, form groups, and discuss the following: How much responsibility for demonstrating cognitive engagement do you place on your students? Which of your students would most benefit from your consistent use of TPT? What skills will you be teaching over the next few weeks? How do you envision yourself implementing TPTs with an emphasis on the HOT skills?

25. Return to your grade level to discuss your answers.

26. ANY SURPRISES? USE A TPT CARD TO EXPRESS YOUR ABILITY TO IMPLEMENT TPTS TOMORROW.
