Activate Prior Knowledge After reading the aim you asked, What is a word that is already familiar to you? Strong way to
give students the opportunity to communicate what they are learning and practice naming skills.
Student Engagement You use Cold Call, Call and Response & Turn and Chat with such frequency, swiftness and urgency,
allowing a greater number of students to participate and practice the skill.
Active Circulation You kept every pair on task and gave feedback to those who needed the extra push during turn and chats by
scanning and moving around the perimeters quickly and strategically (stopping by the hot spots).
Tracking Tracking Genesis all students were tracking her. Tracking Arlene in the back
Precise Praise For Genesis for working through that problem, were going to give her two snaps on three!
Teach the Error You showed a common mistake you observed on Problem 1 (the third part) and had a student explain why they
disagree to eliminate common misconceptions through student knowledge (rather than giving them the answer)

Least Invasive Approach The way you redirected Ricky to task (when he was reading instead of completing the WOW) was
incredibly effective because it was totally private, did not interrupt the flow of class, and you moved away quickly so there was
no opportunity for him to engage.

Virtual Debrief:
1. Looking at the Precise Praise, what are 5 more things that are currently going
well? These could be improvements made or otherwise.
Students are coming quickly to the rug for small groups, using urgency.
Students are transitioning quickly from exit ticket to independent work and from
independent work to PRIDE.
The overall volume level of the classroom has been improving and getting closer
to being at a complete silent.
I can't think of anything else at the moment :/ Be ready to share some more
highlights when we meet on Wednesday :)

assessments.
2. Make timing a priority so that students have every second to learn, whether it is guided, independent, or a group effort.
3. Pay closer attention to the positive things that are going on in class rather than focusing on what is not being done.

now
OSU if you are making noises with your pencil (paused, moved to the front) Pencils down, hands away from your
face, pencils down. Im continuing to hear calling out. We know that we dont do that. As Juan was reading the do now I
was hearing little tiny noises. We know that we dont do that. We know the volume level.
If youre calling out, think about how youre effecting your teammates
Carlos, Im going to stop you for a second. I thought I heard a very funny noise that we shouldnt be making. OSU, its
very hard to get past this do now. Theyre very tiny but they shouldnt be happening.
This is our first class of the day, theres no reason why our energy should be so low. We should not have 7 scholars
helping us. Get there.

7. Noe is wearing a grey polo?
8. Watch the student deduct points after you give the direction - Juan used a pencil and
then erased something.
9. Be cautious about how long you pause to discuss behavior - it can start to have an
adverse effect if students feel like things are going well. Brief (1-2 minutes) and actionoriented is best. Eg. with a serious tone: Coming back from lunch has been a struggle
for us, however, we have proven we can pass in papers urgently. My expectation is
that you pass in urgently at every moment of the day that means we do so silently and
smoothly. We will do that again better now. Scoot your chairs in. Fold your hands.
When I say go, pass your papers in Go! Then immediately notice something positive
to shift the tone back.
