<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;">As the New Year approaches, I want to take this time to remind you all that </span><b style="background-color: cyan; font-size: large;">I AM HERE FOR YOU!</b><span style="background-color: white; font-size: medium;"> I am your support system, your professional development, your resource finder, your tech support, your data collector, and so much more. Please know that you do not have to wait for a PD class/conference to learn and explore something new or figure out ways to enhance what you are already doing. I am available to support you <span style="background-color: lime;">NOW!</span> My goal for the New Year is to get into more classrooms whether it be to plan with a teacher, co-teach, model lessons, gather resources, provide training with technology or instructional practices, etc. Also, I know how busy you all are and that it can be difficult to attend some of the after school training classes. If there is a specific topic/app/site/instructional practice that you would like to learn about, please share these with me. I am planning on creating short videos on these topics that will allow you to learn about these concepts when you have the time - maybe while you are sitting on your couch at home with a warm (or cold) drink in hand! Please feel free to contact me at anytime for help and support!

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Formal Coaching Cycle</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img class="irc_mi" height="199" src="http://www.mshouser.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Group-Coaching-visual2.png" style="margin-top: 25px;" width="200" /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My goal for the rest of the school year is to find a couple teachers that are interested in a formal coaching cycle. This would be a 4-6 week cycle focused on improving instruction in one area. We would meet weekly to plan together. Co-teaching, modeling, observation, video-taping are all options during this coaching cycle.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What will our initial coaching meeting look like and include?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Two Purposes of Initial Coaching Meeting:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Identify focus area and goal for upcoming coaching cycle.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Review coaching cycle logistics.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><i><b>Part 1 - Coaching Focus:</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. What are you thinking you would like to focus on during this coaching cycle?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Discussion about students.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*How would you describe your students as learners in this focus area?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*What are your hopes for students in this area?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*What standards will you focus on? Are there specific standards that seem tricky for your students?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*Pre-assessment </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><b><i>Part 2 - Strategies for Coaching and Collaboration:</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Our coaching cycle will last 4-6 weeks. We will meet weekly to plan. When is the best time to meet for 30-45 minutes each week?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. For classroom visits, I plan on coming in 2 times per week with a short debrief after my visit. This will allow you to reflect on your instruction and time for me to give timely feedback. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. We will use Google Docs to track our progress and record our work.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><b><i>Part 3 - Meeting the Teacher's Needs:</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Do you have any questions or concerns about the coaching cycle?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Is there anything you want me to be sure to do as your coach or is there anything you would like me to know about you or your processing style?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><i><b>Please let me know if you are interested in a formal coaching cycle. I would love to work with you and your students!!</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">As we write ELA curriculum, I find it helpful to look at "I can..." statements to guarantee that we are covering all the required common core standards. I found this wonderful website that has many great resources called "The Curriculum Corner." There are many helpful documents organized by grade level. Find some time and check out your grade level:</span><br />

<img class="irc_mi" src="http://teachmath.openschoolnetwork.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/mental_math_book.jpg" height="320" style="margin-top: 4px;" width="249" /></div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Students may not have all facts memorized, but they should have strategies to solve these problems.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Here are some examples of <b><i style="background-color: yellow;">mental-math strategies for addition</i></b>:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1. <b>Counting On -</b> Students start with a number and count on 1, 2, 3. For example, if the question </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">is 5 + 2, students count 5, 6, 7. Note: This strategy is only useful for adding 1, </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">2, or 3.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">2. <b>Make a Ten -</b> Students make combinations that equal 10. Then they extend to make </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">combinations that are multiples of 10. Examples: 6 + 4 = 10 extends to 76 + 4 </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">= 80. This can then be extended to 10 + 4 = 14 or 50 + 8 = 58.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">3. <b>Use Doubles -</b> The first fact combinations students often learn are doubles. Examples:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">2 + 2 =</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">3 + 3 =</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">8 + 8 =</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">4. <b>Think +10 for +9 -</b> Those 9s are such difficult facts! But, adding 10 to a number is easy. So, when I see 9 + 6, I can think 10 + 6 and then just subtract 1.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Here are some examples of <b><i><u style="background-color: lime;">mental-math strategies for subtraction</u></i></b>:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1. <b>Counting Back -</b> Students start with a number and count backwards. If the question is 5 – 2, </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">students count 5, 4, 3. Note: This strategy is only useful for subtracting 1, 2, or </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">3.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">2. <b>Counting Up -</b> Students start with a number being subtracted and count up to the number from </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">which it is being subtracted. For example, for the question 9 – 7, students can </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">count 8, 9.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">3. <b>Using Doubles -</b> For the question 13 – 6 = ?, students think addition using doubles. For </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">example, 6 + 6 = 12, then add-on 1 to make 13, so 6 + 1 = 7.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">4. <b>Make Ten and Then Some -</b> Given a subtraction question such as 14 – 8 = ?, students start with the part (8), add-on to make 10 (i.e., 8 + 2), then add-on from 10 to make 14 (10 + 4). Then the students add the numbers they added-on to make 14 (4 + 2 = 6).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. Use Graphic organizers -</b> Using graphic organizers throughout lessons helps students improve their comprehension and good readers use graphic organizers to summarize texts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Here are some sample organizers:</i></span></b><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. Share Mentor Texts for each Structure -</b> Read the text aloud and show students how to fill in the text structure graphic organizer. The mentor texts become models you can refer to throughout the rest of the school year.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Here are some sample Mentor Texts & their Text Structure:</i></b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3. Pay Attention to Text Structures Throughout Reading - </b>Encourage and guide students to use text structure to comprehend informational text. Before reading, predict which text structure the author would use. During reading, fill in the text structure organizer. After reading, summarize the text using the graphic organizer.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>4. Conduct Frequent Think-Alouds - </b>"I think the author wrote this (article, book, chapter, section) by using (one of the 5 structures) because I see (clues, clue words, etc)." When the class is reading informational text, pause to consider which structure fits the text.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>5. Assign a Text Structure to Groups or Pairs -</b> Have students work in teams to hunt for text structures to identify in TFK, newspapers, online articles, trade books, and content textbooks.</span><br />

<b style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;">1. Number the paragraphs</span><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin: 6pt 0in 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">The Common Core asks students to be able to cite and refer to the text. One simple way to do this is by numbering each paragraph, section or stanza in the left hand margin.<span class=""> </span>When students refer to the text, require them to state which paragraph they are referring to. The rest of the class will be able to quickly find the line being referred to. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin: 6pt 0in 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin: 6pt 0in 0.0001pt;">
<b style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;">2. Chunk the text.</span><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin: 6pt 0in 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">When faced with a full page of text, reading it can quickly become overwhelming for students. Breaking up the text into smaller sections (or chunks) makes the page much more manageable for students. Students do this by drawing a horizontal line between paragraphs to divide the page into smaller sections.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin: 6pt 0in 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;"><br /><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin: 6pt 0in 0in;">
<b style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;">3. Underline and circle… with a purpose.</span><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin: 6pt 0in 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">Telling students to simply underline “the important stuff” is too vague. “Stuff” is not a concrete thing that students can identify. Instead, direct students to underline and circle very specific things. Think about what information you want students to take from the text, and ask them to look for those elements. What you have students circle and underline may change depending on the text type.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin: 6pt 0in 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">For example, when studying an argument, ask students to underline “claims”. We identify claims as belief statements that the author is making. Students will quickly discover that the author makes multiple claims throughout the argument.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin: 6pt 0in 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">When studying poetry, students could underline the imagery they find throughout the poem.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin: 6pt 0in 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">Providing students with a specific thing you want them to underline or circle will focus their attention on that area much better than “underlining important information”.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin: 6pt 0in 0in;">
<b style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;">4. Left margin: What is the author SAYING?</span><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin: 6pt 0in 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">It isn’t enough to ask students to “write in the margins”. We must be very specific and give students a game plan for what they will write. This is where the chunking comes into play.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin: 6pt 0in 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">In the left margin, ask students to <b>summarize</b> each chunk. Demonstrate how to write summaries in 10-words or less. The chunking allows the students to look at the text in smaller segments, and summarize what the author is saying in just that small, specific chunk.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin: 6pt 0in 0in;">
<b style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;">5. Right margin: Dig deeper into the text </span><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin: 6pt 0in 0in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">In the right-hand margin, again direct students to complete a specific task for each chunk. This may include:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin: 6pt 0in 0in 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">· <b>Use a power verb to describe what the author is DOING.</b> (For example: Describing, illustrating, arguing, etc..) Note: It isn’t enough for students to write “Comparing” and be done. What is the author comparing? A better answer might be: “Comparing the character of Montag to Captain Beatty”.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">· <b>Ask questions. </b>I have found this to be a struggle for many students, as they often say they don’t have any questions to ask. When modeled, students can begin to learn how to ask questions that dig deeper into the text. I often use these questions as the conversation driver in Socratic Seminar.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">There are many other things students can write in the margins. However, we must model and teach these strategies so that students will have an idea of what to write when they are on their own.</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.571; margin-bottom: 48pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Who is doing a majority of the talking in your classroom? </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s the person who is doing the majority of the talking that tends to do the most learning, so what is the teacher/student talking ratio in your classroom? If you find yourself always talking more than your students, try and figure out some ways to empower your students so they are more involved in the learning.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Even when the learning has been turned over to the students, it’s still tempting to spend too much time giving directions, repeating important information, and telling students how they did instead of asking them to reflect on their work. Here are 8 ways teachers can talk less and getting students talking more:</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">1. Don’t steal the struggle. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It can be uncomfortable to watch kids struggle to figure out an answer, but they need time and silence to work through it. Resist the urge to talk students through every step of a problem and instead just observe. Letting kids think instead of rushing in to narrate or question builds anticipation around what’s going to be said next and increases participation as more kids are prepared to move into the conversation.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">2. Move from the front of the classroom. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s easy to get in an instructional rut when you stand at the same place near the board all day long. Try occasionally sitting on the side of the classroom or in an absent student’s desk and say, “I need someone to go up and demonstrate ___ for us.” Because students are used to the person at the board facilitating the lesson, they are likely to talk for much longer than if you stay at the front and they’re in their seats answering you. (“What do all think? Is that an effective method–how do you know? Does anyone use a different strategy?”)</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">3. Teach students signals for your often-repeated phrases and for transitions. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Cut down on conversations about bathroom/water/pencil sharpening/etc by teaching kids to use sign language to request permission: use sign language to indicate your answer back: </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">yes, no,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> or </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">wait</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Use music, a chime, or other auditory signal to indicate when it’s time to start an activity, pause, and clean up. The idea here is to give kids a break from hearing your voice: they are far more likely to tune in to a unique sound than to a 20 word direction.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">4. Use non-verbal reinforcement for behavior whenever possible. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A lot of the talking most of us do throughout the day is related to student behavior, and most of the time, we’re wasting our breath. Resist the urge to lecture students every time someone forgets their materials, interrupts your lesson, or makes an inappropriate noise. It’s far more effective (not to mention easier and less disruptive) to give students “the teacher look” and keep the lesson moving. If you need to have a conversation about the behavior with a student or issue a consequence, try to wait for a break in your instruction rather than stop the whole class from learning while you discipline one kid.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">5. Turn your statements into questions and prompts. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Instead of saying to a group, “Nice work over here, I like the strategy you used for ___”, ask the kids to reflect on their own work: “Tell me how your group has chosen to solve ___.” Instead of telling a child, “Take a look at #3, that answer is incorrect” say, “Would you tell me how you got the answer for #3?” Not only will these questions get kids talking instead of you, kids will also have the chance to reflect on and articulate their learning.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">6. Instead of asking, “Does that make sense?” say, “Can you put that in your own words?” </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you’ve ever asked kids “Are you getting this?”, you’ve probably noticed you rarely get an insightful response. So, you either move on without kids understanding or you repeat something you’ve already said. Try inviting kids to put what you’ve explained into their own words, either repeating it back to you (if you were helping the child in a one-on-one conversation) or by turning and talking to a partner/doing a quick think/pair/share.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">7. Stop repeating yourself. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s tempting to say important points and instructions a couple of different ways to make sure every child understands, but that strategy can backfire when it’s overused. Kids learn that it’s okay to tune you out because you’ll repeat everything you say. Instead, experiment with different strategies for </span><a href="http://thecornerstoneforteachers.com/2013/05/how-to-get-students-to-follow-directions.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #213673; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">getting kids to follow directions the first time</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> you give them and use </span><a href="http://thecornerstoneforteachers.com/2014/01/50-fun-call-and-response-ideas-to-get-students-attention.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #213673; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">call-and-repsonse routines</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to get kids’ attention right away.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">8. Notice moments when you summarize/review for students and instead get their input. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you hear yourself saying </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">once again, remember, as I said, as always, so to sum this up</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, or </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">don’t forget</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, that probably means you’re about to drive home an important point for the second or third (or tenth) time.

<b>What are GRASPS?</b><br />
GRASPS are performance-based assessments intended to provide students with experiences found in the real world. GRASPS can be used in all subject areas (a GREAT way to get kids writing).<br />
<br />
What does GRASPS stand for?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>G</b> = Goal: The Purpose of the task</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>R</b> = Role: Explains student involvement in scenario</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>A</b> = Audience: The people the student addresses</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>S</b> = Situation: Explain the scenario</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>P</b> = Product, Performance, and Purpose: Tangible evidence of understanding</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>S</b> = Standards and Criteria for Success: How to complete the task successfully</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><strong>What is a Number Talk?</strong><br />A Number Talk is a short, ongoing daily routine that provides students with meaningful ongoing practice with computation and mathematical reasoning. A Number Talk is a powerful tool for helping students develop computational fluency because the expectation is that they will use number relationships and the structures of numbers to add, subtract, multiply and divide.</span></div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #414141; text-shadow: 0px 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; color: #414141; text-shadow: 0px 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Number Talks should be structured as short sessions alongside (but not necessarily directly related to) the ongoing math curriculum. It is important to keep Number Talks short, as they <strong>are not intended to replace current curriculum or take up the majority of the time spent on mathematics</strong>. In fact, teachers need to spend only 5 to 15 minutes on Number Talks. Number Talks are most effective when done every day.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">What is the format of Number Talks?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1. Teacher presents a problem.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">2. Students figure out an answer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">3. Students share their answer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">4. Students share their thinking.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>The teacher asks questions: </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">• Who would like to share their thinking? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">• Who did it another way? </span><br />

I am sure there will be many ideas to share from this conference. A couple videos were sent to us before the conference. One of the videos was about reading comprehension. If you have time, please watch the video. What a great way to help children understand what is going on in their head while they are reading!</span><br />
