During our in-person professional development in March of 2020, we had instructors of a variety of levels attend the training. With it being so late in the year, we only had a couple interested in working with us to implement the strategy in their classroom.I began working with a 5th-grade general education teacher at an elementary school in Fayette County. She seemed very excited to get the instruction started. We had many difficulties getting days and times worked out to observe in her classroom or during a zoom session. She did begin instruction using a variety of tools since she was still teaching virtually. I was able to work with her a few times. She did receive copies of the needed presentations, tips for instruction, sample memory tables, and a variety of other tools to use in the classroom setting or virtual setting. She did note an interest in changing the lessons to include vocabulary words from other classes for generalization. We discussed a couple of different ways to do this. A template worksheet was made for her to use. As lessons were completed in whole/large groups, she was interested in having students self-check their work. We suggested having the students use markers of a different color when self-checking.
