Instructional Focus
As we know the Guiding Coalition chose 6 marzano instructional practices that we will particularly focus on this year. Of those 6, three will be our intentional focus for the first semester
Click on the links above for extra resources on how to incorporate into your lessons or even give validation to some things you are already using. This week as the admin team enters your classroom we will specifically be looking for evidence of processing content. Example are
1. Thnk, pair, share
2. collaborative processing with a shoulder partner Asking students to summarize, ask clarifying questions, and make predictions about new information in small groups
• Discussing students’ summaries, questions, and predictions
