  3. 17 YEARS AGO … THE STORY OF JANE

  4. If 6 cats can kill 6 rats in 6 minutes, how many cats are required to kill 100 rats in 50 minutes? - Lewis Carroll

  5. If 6 cats can kill 6 rats in 6 minutes, how many cats are required to kill 100 rats in 50 minutes? - Lewis Carroll DISASTER!

  6. VISITED 40 CLASSROOMS • good teachers • snowballing • elementary + secondary • English + French • low socioeconomic + high socioeconomic • public + private PATTERNS

  7. VISITED 40 CLASSROOMS • good teachers • snowballing • elementary + secondary • English + French • low socioeconomic + high socioeconomic • public + private PATTERNS

  8. INSTITUTIONAL NORMS

  9. NON-NEGOTIATED NORMS

  10. 400+ TEACHERS | 15 YEARS | 2 WEEK CYCLES

  11. RENEGOTIATING THE NON-NEGOTIATED NORMS 400+ TEACHERS | 15 YEARS | 2 WEEK CYCLES

  12. RAPID PROTOTYPING

  13. CHAOS EVERYWHERE

  14. HOW WE GIVE A TASK textbook board/screen handout/worksheet

  15. HOW WE GIVE A TASK board/screen handout/worksheet textbook

  16. HOW WE GIVE A TASK verbally board/screen handout/worksheet textbook

  17. HOW WE GIVE A TASK verbally board/screen handout/worksheet textbook

  18. HOW WE ANSWERQUESTIONS

  19. HOW WE ANSWERQUESTIONS PROXIMITY QUESTIONS STOP THINKING QUESTIONS KEEP THINKING QUESTIONS

  20. HOW WE ANSWERQUESTIONS PROXIMITY QUESTIONS STOP THINKING QUESTIONS KEEP THINKING QUESTIONS

  21. HOW WE ARRANGE DESKS DEFRONT THE CLASSROOM

  22. HOW WE MAKE GROUPS strategic groupings self-selected groupings students know what their role will be that day

  23. STUDENT WORK SPACE VERTICAL NON-PERMANENT SURFACES

  24. WHERE TO START?

  25. begin lessons with good problems • frequently form visibly random groups • use vertical non-permanent surfaces

  26. give task early, • standing, and verbally • defront the classroom • answer only keep thinking questions • assign check your understanding questions • foster autonomous actions

  27. use hints and extensions to manage flow • consolidate from the bottom • use meaningful notes

  28. communicate where students are and where they are going • evaluate what you value • report out based on data (not points)
