The Answer Sheet - Videotaping teachers the right way (not the Gates way) - 1 views

  • •Leaning In—When we are engaged, we are learning forward, not slouching back. •Who’s Doing the Work?—Students are working and learning, not sitting back listening to the teacher. •Everybody Has a Job—All students are working all the time, listening and taking notes/annotating; asking questions; reading, etc. •Tools of the Scholar—Pen, pencil, highlighter… The vast majority of the time, students have a writing tool in hand. •Multiple Touches on Text—No "light" touches—we read the same text multiple times in different ways to deepen our understanding. •Changing Trajectories—So you can read, do, or be what you want. We work hard so that students can accomplish their visions and dreams.
