Making your Thinking Visible1. Circulate throughout the room and write down your

ideas/understandings of each of the Essential Classroom Practices on the chart paper. (5 minutes)

2. Refer to the number located on the top corner of your placemat and stand by the corresponding Essential Practice. You will become the ‘EXPERT’ by reading the provided information and writing down new information or adjusting any misconceptions on the chart paper.

3. Complete the attached chart by recording a definition and considering structures and tools that could help support this practice.

4. Be prepared to SHARE with the group.

Page 15: Tlc november session nov 16 with curriculum

On your placemat…

Select a competency or skill and record what Essential Classroom Practice would support this.

How could this Practice be used to support a student’s attainment of the identified skill or competency.

On Your Placemat…

A million points to the person who A million points to the person who can tell us what SIPSA-WB stands for!can tell us what SIPSA-WB stands for!

What is the greatest area of student learning need that you are currently focused on in your school? (SIPSA-WB)

What data supports this focus?

Which of the Essential Classroom Practices would support meeting the student learning need identified above? How would it support the need?

Page 17: Tlc november session nov 16 with curriculum

Professional Learning Cycle•How does this model connect with what you already know about collaborative inquiry?

•Where does the coach / teacher-librarian fit into this cycle?

Page 18: Tlc november session nov 16 with curriculum

Planning Time Reflect on the identified NEED and supporting Essential Classroom

Practice you recorded earlier.

Create an ‘IF… THEN…’ statement that reflects your focus and record on your placemat and copy onto the strip of paper provided for sharing.

e.g. IF I work with teacher A on implementing accountable talk strategies in her literacy program, THEN student engagement levels and thinking will improve.

Brainstorm some ideas for implementing this action plan and consider what evidence you will bring to the next session for sharing.

Page 19: Tlc november session nov 16 with curriculum

For our next session…

Bring evidence of student work that relates to your ‘IF…THEN…’ statement.

e.g. response journals, student writing (in progress), descriptive feedback on work (related to success criteria), video clips, blog entries, voice recordings, photos, etc.
