    Tonight we are talking about Purposeful Planning and its role beyond a lesson plan. Q1 -What do you need more of to be able to prepare your best lessons? (besides time) #5thchat

    Progressions of standards. We are using #mathinpractice this year and it has made teaching as planning for math so much easier! I know what my students need and where we are going. #5thchat

    Lesson Plans are worthless if they are not used. Q2 Share a skill or resource you use to help ensure your lessons are intentional? #5thchat
  • TeachHeath Nov 6 @ 8:12 PM EST
    LEVELED questions for math teachers! This idea and more found here: https://t.co/FCmc2xXvv5 #mathchat #edchat #elemchat #tnedchat #5thchat

    A2 Would I want to do the assignment? What is the purpose of the assignment? #5thchat
  • screnaud12 Nov 6 @ 8:17 PM EST
    We always have the three questions to guide us... what do we want students to learn, how will they learn, what will we do with those who already know #5thchat

    Great acronym for beginning a prewrite for FICTION #edchat #mathchat #elemchat #5thchat #tnedchat

    There will always be moments that catch us off guard and lead to spontaneity and procrastination. Q3 What kind of purposeful front loading do you do to be prepared for those moments? #5thchat
  • teachchoice Nov 6 @ 8:24 PM EST
    Q3 - For me my student relationships was my front loading. If I had students that struggled with certain things or in midst a circumstance I would be sensitive to that in my planning. I.e. snacks, additional materials, maybe even a different lesson #5thchat

    Teaching is a team sport. You count on the grade level before you and the one ahead of you counts on you to prepare students. Q4 What role can we have in helping redirect teachers during planning and PLC mtngs that don't find planning a critical component? #5thchat

    SEUSS and math! Check out this math challenge - students try to solve the problem before the next pops up (more are on my youtube channel)#mathchat #elemchat #tnedchat #5thchat #edchat #edtech - makes math like a vid game! https://t.co/zE5nlga8Mm
  • judyzaccheo Nov 6 @ 8:30 PM EST
    #5thchat - for sure! A LOT of discussion comes out when I ask "What questions do you have" instead of "Does anyone have a question?" I also encourage students to answer each other's questions. I don't want to be the only "teacher"voice in the room.

    Please read the info on the image. Q5 - As you think about using data, in what way can you use it to shape instruction? #5thchat
  • theresaklambert Nov 6 @ 8:36 PM EST
    Whole-small-whole framework when planning and to ensure I get to the consolidation part. Carmel Crevola’s oral language prompts help me to ensure I help the students learn how to listen and respond to each other instead of just me. #5thchat

    #5thchat - Honestly one of the BEST ways to see something differently is to get out of your own classroom & visit someone else's! Kind of like what Twitter does for us virtually. Inviting a teacher to see something you've carefully planned out might help!

    There is a direct link between planning and classroom management. Q7 - What are some behind the scene, critical planning pieces that do to help relieve stress from disruptions and keep the flow of a lesson? #5thchat
  • judyzaccheo Nov 6 @ 8:47 PM EST
    A5. #5thchat - my colleague and I use end of year testing data to look for trends. We noticed year after year students struggle with Geometry and in our curriculum this typically comes last or is "left out", so this year we flipped our curriculum and started with this topic!

    A6 #5thchat - I would LOVE to hear suggestions on this one! I struggle to remember the good & ditch the bad. I've started a Podcast to help me remember :) #learnreflectrepeat I plan out my year on a Google Doc (calendar style) & attach Daily Agendas so I can look back at those.

    Balance. The mountain we try to climb. Balance requires planning. Q8 - How do you plan for balance? What tips can you share? #5thchat
