What went well? Our
students were actively engaged with completing the Frame. They were communicating great ideas and had
significant discussions throughout the process.
We believe discussing the Frame one component at a time allowed the
students to really feel in control and assist with understanding the
concept.
What was a challenge? A challenge was making sure the students did not become overwhelmed with adding too much information on their devices. We would stress that only the most important main ideas needed to be included on their Frame.
What you will do next time? We believe with much practice, our students are more comfortable with completing their Frame Routine independently. We would also like to observe them working with partners to work on those high yield strategies. This will allow for more partnership, peer feedback, thinking-pairing-sharing moments, and creative thinking.
What adjustments we made? My Co-Teaching partner and I have used different Frame Routines depending on the students’ capability. Those students who may appear able to complete a device containing more components are given the opportunity to stretch their brain more.
