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

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

• 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
