Welcome to week 6 of our Fall 2024 16 Week Teaching Challenge!
If you're new to the challenge, take a minute and read The Big Launch post here. You can opt to get caught up on previous weeks by checking out the "16 Week Challenge" link to the bottom right of this page, or you're welcome to just jump right in and join us!
Week 6: Sept. 16 - Practice Total Participation Techniques
The challenge is to put into practice what you learned last week by planning for and using at least 1 Total Participation Technique in at least 5 upcoming lessons. (And feel free to revisit last week's post if you need a refresh on them.)
What does this look like? For each lesson, you'll:
- Internalize the lesson. Be sure to identify its purpose, the heart, the student work that aligns with the purpose, and how independently that work is supposed to be done.
- Plan at least 1 total participation technique for each one. Keep this super simple, and I even advise you to try the same one every time. The point isn't to entertain kids; it's to get every student actively working and thinking in a lesson.
- Capture notes at the end of each lesson on how this went.
- Did you use the CFU you planned?
- What did you learn about your students and their work?
- What did you learn about your instruction?
Completed that? Fantastic! You just completed your Week 6 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 23 - for Week 7!
Here's to simply teaching well,
