The 16 Week Challenge: Week 5

Welcome to week 5 of our Fall 2024 16 Week Teaching Challenge!

Is this your first time checking in? I'm so glad you're here! Take a minute and read The Big Launch post here. You can also get caught up on previous weeks by scrolling to the "Labels" section at the bottom right of this page and clicking "The 16 Week Challenge."

However, if you're ready to jump right in, here you go!

Week 5: Sept. 9 - Learn About Total Participation Techniques

And that's just what they are - teaching techniques that help to promote active, engaged thinking and work from every single student in a lesson. Here's what you can do to complete this week's challenge:
  1. Begin by reading (or reading) EL's 8 High-Leverage Instructional Practices, and read the row for total participation techniques most closely.
  2. These techniques are based on the work of Drs. William and Persida Himmele in their book titled - you guessed it - Total Participation Techniques. Take 10 minutes or so to visit this page on their site and watch videos or browse a blog post or two. 
  3. Then, explore EL's protocols for total participation here.
Completed that? Fantastic! You just completed your Week 5 Teaching Challenge. If you're working for that small prize, you can log your success here, and be sure to check back next week - September 16 - for Week 6.

Here's to simply teaching well,
