Analyzing student work to practice conferring
(critique the reasoning of others)

  • What is going well?
  • What structure or repeated reasoning do you see?
  • What assessing or advancing question should you ask?

In other words, for each student can you write:

  • I like…because…
  • I wonder…
  • What if…

06.02.17 Summer PD #TrinityLearns

As part of our practice, we offer in-house summer professional learning around literacy and numeracy.

There are two strands that both focus on the workshop model and conferring with students in literacy and in math.  Tiffany Coleman (@TColemanReads)and Lisa Eickholdt (@LisaEickholdt) will each join us on June 5th and 6th, respectively, to further our work in conferring.  On June 7th, Marsha Harris (@MarshaMac74) will round out the literacy work with a session on differentiation.  Jill Gough (@jgough) and Becky Holden (@bholden86) will facilitate three days of interactive math learning so that it parallels the work in literacy.
For our colleagues not able to join us, we will share our plans each day next week.
Here’s the big picture view of the professional learning days:
 Our essential learnings are based on ALT’s goal for all faculty-learners:
