Watched 5/31/184A’s text protocol – Assumptions, Agree, Argue,
Aspire (What Assumptions does the author make, what do you agree with in text,
what do you want to argue with (in text), what parts do you want to aspire to?)
- Developed 25 years ago
- Collaborative effort needed for instruction to reach all students.
- Ongoing cycle as they plan, teach, learn and assess instruction and knowledge
- View video of teachers engaged in cycle, receive SMARTER e-tool and get started with SMART moves for planning implementation
- Collaboration is LABORous but important
- (Co-Planning=Shape critical questions, Map,
Analyze for difficulty, Reach decisions) , Teach strategically = teaching, (Evaluate
mastery, Revisit outcomes = assessing)
- Shape – what state standards are being addressed? What is the outcomes? How can we measure outcomes? What is the big central idea that ties it all together?
- Map critical content and relationships – how can we map (unit organizer) so all studens understand it? What are essential pieces (subtopics)? What is the paraphrase of the big ideas of the unit?
- Analyze – what is going to be challenging? What are the strengths and weaknesses for your students (sped, el, gifted, etc),
- Reach – what CE devices will be most beneficial, effective and efficient with students? What accommodations/options must be made available for some/all students? How much time is needed for instruction?
- Teach – Is the value of learning and how to learn communicated to all students through co-construction and ongoing assessments and feedback?
- Evaluate (data driven) – did all student learn? Do different next time? Was it successful? What formative assessments are needed to provide feedback to students?
- Revisit (outcomes and critical questions) – if students did not reach outcomes, what are next step? How is evidence collected?
- Co-teaching with SPED Ed/Gen Ed teacher
