Week 4 Reflection
  1. CONTENT
    1. Discourse Primer
      1. Talking is the primary mode of sense-making in humans.
        1. When teachers hear students talk, they can access student thinking and adapt instruction to current level of student understanding.
          1. Areas for improvement in my classroom
            1. Ask higher cognitive-demand questions that focus on sense-making and are authentic.
              1. Use meta-cognitive questions to help make students more independent.
                1. Scaffold academic language
                  1. End of year goal: Students should be asking the questions that I was asking at the beginning of the year.
                  2. Continue doing these things
                    1. Avoid IRE patterns of talk!
                      1. "Pre-think" the end goal of each discussion!
                        1. Using re-voicing techniques (amplifying, connecting student language with academic language)
                          1. "What is your evidence?"
                        2. Constructivism
                          1. Students must construct their own meanings of what they see.
                            1. Paramount in designing curriculum: Student interests, previous experiences & knowledge
                              1. Small group work stimulates higher levels of cognitive activity!
                                1. We know something only when we can explain it.
                                  1. Misconceptions can be stubborn and need hands-on and mind-on strategies to disprove them!
                                  2. Inquiry-Based Teaching
                                    1. Instructional pie
                                      1. Increase: Inquiry and Demonstrations
                                        1. Decrease: Student Activities and Discussion
                                    2. S&E PRACTICES
                                      1. Asking Questions & Defining Problems: When students have an opportunity to ask their own questions, we can assess their current understanding and misconceptions.
                                        1. Engaging in Argument from Evidence: Students need to practice metacognition through collaboration and discussion with their peers.
                                        2. DISCUSSION
