A wonderful first step you’ve achieved here, to access the experts within your own school. Not enough teachers are able to observe one another teaching.

I know this is a group with the desire to open these sorts of doors for our students, and I think—as a network—we have a great opportunity to do so!

I am big on reflection, probably to a fault and struggle with second guessing myself, but I think that I know what direction I’m going in. I just have NO idea where I’ll end up!!

I reviewed a number of the articles and videos and this quote particularly resonated with me, “Group work can lead to social isolation if a student is perceived to be not equally contributing, so offering opportunities for everyone to participate is important” (Kesty). It stresses the need to create “roles” when scaffolding group work…Read more

Indeed, as @jmedved has indicated, Saturday will be about finding exactly where your urgency lies within the realm of what you are already working on. I like how you made small changes that resulted in a positive shift for your students’ engagement and learning.
