Creating a Culture of Peer Learning Through Discourse, Writing and Reflection

Creating a Culture of Peer Learning Through Discourse, Writing and Reflection By: monicablevins 2nd grade, Math

Creating a safe space FOR STUDENT DISCOURSE In THE PAST: RIGHT IS RIGHT. VS. NOW: RIGHT IS RIGHT, BUT WRONG MEANS YOU TRIED! IMPACT: STUDENTS ARE MORE OPEN TO SHARING THEIR THINKING, EVEN IF IT'S WRONG – INCREASED RISK, INCREASED REWARD

STUDENT REFLECTION In THE PAST: NO REFLECTION – STUDENT WORK/ASSESSMENTS USED AS the primary REFERENCE FOR WHAT STUDENTS KNOW VS. NOW: conferring and reflection used in addition to student work/assessments to assess students' learning IMPACT: STUDENTS ARE GAINING IMPORTANT SKILLS, BUT ALSO THINKING ABOUT THEMSELVES AS MATHEMATICIANS

MOVING FORWARD: writing NOW: WRITING IS USED IN MATH SPORADICALLY VS. FUTURE PLANS: WRITING WILL BE INCORPORATED MORE CONSISTENTLY AS A MEANS FOR STUDENTS TO HOLD THEIR THINKING, ask questions, and reflect – Will serve as a springboard for reflection/debriefing EXPECTED IMPACT: stronger mathematicians who have a deeper understanding of mathematical content
