- Course Organizer Routine
- Unit Organizer Routine
- FRAME Routine
- Concept Comparison Routine
- LINCing routine
During my apprenticeship I worked with staff at my school to implement SIM Routines. Specifically, we worked with Unit Organizer and FRAME routines. Both, I felt, would be a good segue into using other routines for my co-workers. I found that they really enjoyed the demonstration of the routine with them as students. I found it important to model and then to give time for teachers to process and create their own Unit Organizers or FRAMEs that they could then use in class. Finally, sitting down with each participant to discuss what they had created and giving tips to help them be more successful had a positive outcome for both me and the teacher. By the end of the professional development session teachers could really see how they would use each routine in their own classes. A few weeks after our session I checked back in with teacher to see how their own implementation went of the routine and if they had any questions.
