Agenda• Introductions• Purpose & Meaning• Ideas through the Curriculum• Gallery Walk• Make & Take Share-Out
Stations & Centers• Why are they useful in the
classroom? - Most importantly, they are a means to extend
learning!- Allow for independent exploration- Provides time for small group teaching
Ideal Classroom• ENGAGED LEARNERS!!!
• In a unit of study we would hope to see various forms of learning formats: individual, small group, whole class, student interviews, informal conversations, journaling, performance tasks, and traditional tests and quizzes.
• It is our job as the teacher to help provide these different opportunities as often as possible to truly reach and touch all learners.
• We need to have real growth for every student!
On-Going Ideas
Science• Vocab cards / games• Use of magazines: Time, Odessey, Ask, Muse,
Zoobooks, Zootles, National Geographic Jr, Ranger Rick, Big Backyard
• Student chosen research unit projects (use as review before tests)
• I Wonder board
