Goals for Phase 2 AP AND INTRO • Classroom teacher should (have) complete(d) major projects on their own. • Classroom teacher begins to participate in grading of assignments. • Classroom teacher should be serving as a TA during lab able to fully participate and aid students. • Classroom teacher should begin leading demos or reviews (partial class 1/wk) AP ONLY • Classroom teacher should take a practice AP test by the end of the year • Classroom teacher should handle half of grading by end of semester

  13. Team Reflection • Work with your teaching team • If there are fewer than 3 of you present, merge with another team • Where is your team right now in the phases discussed in the document? • What should you focus on to make progress? • Any feedback on the document itself? (it’s brand new after all!)

  14. Co-Teaching

  15. Strategies for Effective Co-Teaching • Think about… • What are the potential benefits of having multiple adults in the classroom? • What does effective co-teaching look like? • What does effective co-teaching require?

  16. Model 1: One Teach, One Support • What should the supporter do? • Hand out papers • Drive the demo/computer • Prepare next part of lesson • Monitor student engagement

  17. Model 2: Team Teaching • Situations • Asking model questions • Paraphrasing • Boardwork • 2 sides of a debate • Transitions • Positive Handoff • Signal

  18. Model 3: Parallel Teaching • Reduce Student:Teacher ratio • Same or different activities • Esp. discussions – gives each student more talk time

  19. Model 4: Station Teaching • Hint: you do this almost every day!

  20. Model 5: Alternative Teaching • Can you think of moments in your class when this would have been helpful? • Be careful with remediation • Don’t set low expectations.

  21. Team Teaching Improv ACTIVITY • Goal: practice the TEAM TEACHING model • Pair up with someone from your teaching team, and then join a group with another pair (4 people/group total) • Objective: SWBAT explain the binary number system and convert between decimal and binary numbers up to 8 bits • 8 minutes to plan how to present the new material (lecture) + demo an example (3 minute lesson)

  22. Team Teaching ImprovGame • Objective: SWBAT explain the binary number system and convert between decimal and binary numbers up to 8 bits • Rules: • While one teacher is speaking, the other should be writing on the “board” (paper). • The observing team can signal the teachers to switch roles by shouting “Switch!”. This can happen up to 3x throughout the lesson. • Afterwards, discuss what worked well (particularly during transitions), what felt unnatural or didn’t go as planned, and the specific things that need to be planned out ahead of time

  23. Team Teaching Wrapup • What are the potential benefits of having multiple adults in the classroom? • What does effective co-teaching look like? • What does effective co-teaching require? • How can you use this in your classroom to: • Boost student achievement? • Make progress towards curriculum handoff?
