- SIOP: Flipped Classroom in Lindsay Cato's 7th Grade Science
- Problem of Practice: Writing & thinking critically about students' art
- Tier 1 Priorities: Check-in from the 11/18 faculty meeting
Falcon Focus: SIOP
Lindsay Cato has started flipping her classroom by recording previews of her daily lessons. Each 3-7 minute video includes the daily warm-up, a brief explanation of concepts and activities for the day, and key academic vocabulary. Students will have access to the videos via YouTube, and are also encouraged to come in before or after school. The target audience are her LEP students; however, it will benefit all of her kids!
If you have any questions about Screencastify or are interested in flipping parts of your class, talk to Lindsay, Mary Terry, or Rashel Larson.
Falcon Focus: Problem of Practice
Rebekah Luckett's select art class created still lifes of objects personal to them. Students were instructed to select 7 objects so dear to them that the would want to rescue them above all other possessions. After completing the art work using a variety of mediums, students then went on to reflect on and write about their artwork. Why were these objects important? What do those objects reveal about me as an individual?
Falcon Focus: Tier 1 Priorities
Finally, a follow-up to our faculty meeting on 11/18. At the end of the meeting we used Padlet as a means to reflect on the Tier 1 priorities and instructional practices that we are focusing on across the different content areas. Clearly, there's quite a bit of overlap from one content area to another, and you guys did a great job of reflecting on specific strategies and areas you wanted to focus on in your classroom.
Please let me know if you have any questions about any of the Tier 1 Priorties, or if there is some way that I can support you in implementing any of this. I hope everyone has a great day, and remember...
It's a great day to be a Falcon!
