Immersing oneself in reflection and learning, leads to personal growth, positive effects on others and can be enhanced by high levels of collaboration. • Doing this through: • Productive Group Work • Collaboration • Analyzing Data Today’s Purpose
Tasks designed and supervised that enable students to consolidate their thinking and understanding- and that require students to generate individual products that can provide formative assessment information. Frey, Fisher and Everlove. Productive Group Work. 2009 What is Productive Group Work?
This morning’s Essential Question: Why this, now? Your Turn at PGW
Complexity of Task: The task is a novel application of a grade-level appropriate concept and is designed so that the outcome is not guaranteed (a chance for failure exists). Indicators of PGW
Joint Attention to Materials: Students are interacting with one another to build each other’s knowledge. Outward indicators include body language and movement associated with meaningful conversations and shared visual gaze on materials. Indicators of PGW
Argumentation not Arguing: Students use accountable talk to persuade, provide evidence, ask questions of one another, and disagree without being disagreeable. Indicators of PGW
Language Support: Written, verbal, teacher and peer supports are available to boost academic language usage. Indicators of PGW
Teacher Role: What is the teacher doing while productive group work is occurring. Indicators of PGW
Grouping: Small groups of 2-5 students are purposefully constructed to maximize individual strengths without magnifying areas of needs (heterogeneous groupings). Indicators of PGW
Immersing oneself in reflection and learning, leads to personal growth, positive effects on others and can be enhanced by high levels of collaboration. Reflect. Back to Understanding
