Protocols to Use When Lesson Planning

The following links and resources will help as you begin lesson planning:

Teaching Terms and Definitions - In case you come across a protocol (or method for delivering instruction) that looks good but some of the vocabulary is unfamiliar.

Link: School Reform Initiative- Protocols or methods for delivering instruction organized alphabetically. (There are a lot of wonderful strategies on this site, but the titles can make it difficult to find what you're looking for quickly.)

Strategies for Group Processing- Bringing the pair and share to a whole new level. This PDF is one of my go-to's, it includes both strategies and graphic organizers to use in your class.

Link: Alternatives to the Exit Ticket- Other options for debrief.

ELL Strategies - To ensure that the instructional method that you select supports our English Language Learners.

If you come across any websites, articles, etc. that you find to be helpful please send them to me (Rebecca) so that I can post them to the blog. Good luck and happy lesson planning.

}  15 minutes to read through assessments that you and your partner have selected

}  5 minutes to record what you see, at this point simply state facts do not make inferences or judgments

}  10 minutes to discuss observations with partner

}  15 minutes to select 1 assessment and complete it (or a portion of it)

}  15 minutes to discuss the following after taking assessment

}  From the student’s perspective what are they working on as they complete this assessment?

}  If the assessment was completed successfully what would it tell us about what the students knows, or are able to do?

}  What sort of information would need to be front ended in order to be successful on this assessment? What ideas do you have about accomplishing this? (Use this time to begin brainstorming lesson ideas/filling in the gaps.)

Last Step: Schedule time to meet with assigned partners.
