Presentation Transcript
What qualities would you like your students to have 5-10 years from now? Imagine you were to bump into them 5-10 years down the road, what would make you happy? Jot a list for a few moments individually (quiet time), then let s share and discuss, and make a shared list.
List your students qualities now For example: What is wonderful and inspiring about them?... What is worrying or frustrating?... Write individual lists (quiet time), then share and discuss, and make a shared list.
Compare the Ideal and Actual What is a gap(s) between the ideal and the actual that we really care about and would like to work on as educators?
Research Theme Positively state the ideal student qualities we want to work on.
Research Theme Examples use evidence and reasoning to support and critique arguments. (Chavez School, Chicago) better problem solvers. (Bret Harte School, OUSD) social emotional skills and a deeper understanding of mathematics. (Edna Brewer School, OUSD) student perseverance (South Shore School, Chicago Public Schools) create a positive academic self-identity (Muir School, SFUSD)
Add Strategies to Achieve the Research Theme If you have time, specify some strategies you think will help you achieve your research theme. For example: Equal access and equitable teaching strategies and routines lead to students deep understanding of the concept. By supporting students ability to express and connect ideas in multiple ways, they will become better problem solvers. (Bret Harte School, OUSD) Encourage student development through the relationship between student note-taking, teacher board-writing and mathematical discussion [so that] students construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others . (Prieto School, Chicago)
Revisit the Research Theme Your research theme can be modified and updated as you learn The research theme is the first step of school-wide Lesson Study (also called Collaborative Lesson Research CLR)
