    A1 My staff just had CL Day 1 w/ @KristineAtKagan so I had been prepping them and now reviewing w/ them w/ some basic structures. We’ve had so much fun w/ a variety of TB/CB topics as we rebuild our school culture #KaganChat

    A1 #KaganChat I’ve seen teachers this week while I’m coaching do a 1st round w/ “What did you eat/do over Thanksgiving break?” then follow w/ content. I’ve seen it w/ Jot Thoughts, All Record RoundRobin, and RallyRobin.

    A2: Our Tier 1 ELA Curriculum in Louisiana uses Learnzillion Guidebook Units. The content and lessons offer themselves up to structures. My most used lately has been timed pair share when we are reading texts and giving responses with text evidence. #kaganchat

    A@#kaganchat Brenda from Springfield I was wondering if you could clarify "ready made structures for me?" Do you mean using the Kagan book which has structures that are already created but you need to make copies, or is there something that is all ready put together available?

    Hi Brenda, thanks for joining us! By ready made resources, we mean handouts, curriculum, cards, manipulatives that your already have access to. Take one of those resources and match a structure with that resource to maximize engagement. #kaganchat

    A2 I love the products made by Kagan and just really reflecting on DOK levels and making my own. As a principal I often have to do that to make PD and PLC content meaningful. Maybe I need to create a Kagan resource for admin for content for data, culture and leadership #KaganChat

    A4 #KaganChat My Go-to @KaganOnline structures to engage students in powerful practice with worksheets are RallyCoach, Sage-N-Scribe, and Simultaneous RoundTable. Also like to cut them apart for Fan-N-Pick & Quiz-Quiz-Trade. Solo practice w/ worksheets can be meaningless.
  • mrsgregory03 Nov 27 @ 8:37 PM EST

    Q5: I think being aware of pairings in situations where you want students to coach can be key. Starting with praises, and working up to feedback has helped me lead my students to being better at coaching each other. ~Nic (Heather) #KaganChat #nicandsully
  • bgriffinteach Nov 27 @ 8:38 PM EST
    A5: Definitely model it, either with another teacher (if possible) or with a student helper, give them examples of praises or cheers to use, show them how to tip, tip, teach, and try again. #kaganchat
  • KaganOnline - Moderator Nov 27 @ 8:38 PM EST

  • NicandSully Nov 27 @ 8:39 PM EST
    Q5: I overload on modeling how to coach. I usually don't let students start teaching until the 3rd day of new material. The last thing you want is for them to teach the concept the wrong way. #kaganchat #nicandsully
  • KristineAtKagan - Moderator Nov 27 @ 8:39 PM EST

  • STEMsnippets Nov 27 @ 8:39 PM EST
    A5 #kaganchat I like to use students to model what the structure looks like and sounds like. Combining the physical action with seeing can be very powerful and helpful for students @SVVSDdts #SVVSDTechbingo
  • burkemathmccall Nov 27 @ 8:39 PM EST
    #KaganChat A5) Have them use Jot Thoughts to brain storm things to say when their teammate needs coaching - they also like to brainstorm things not to say
  • MrCoachEli Nov 27 @ 8:39 PM EST
    A5 Practice, Practice, practice! Sentence stems, gradual release, modeling, prompting, anchor charts and visuals. Lots of TB/CB because culture eats structure for lunch. Make that coaching part of culture and it takes care of itself #KaganChat
  • rickatkagan - Moderator Nov 27 @ 8:40 PM EST

    A6: Make sure that you make the rounds to hear the different pair/group conversations to ensure Ss are demonstrating understanding of the material. #kaganchat

    #KaganChat Awesome.! I think it’s sometimes forgotten that we have to provide direct instruction & model. Coaching structure should happen during guided practice portion of our lesson, not during the initial instruction — that’s when we use processing structures like RallyRobin

    A6 The biggest tip is be very mobile and intentional as you move around the room. Especially noting what needs to be retaught and if you’re seeing it a lot stop the structure and reteach right away #kaganchat

    A6 #KaganChat For Fan-n-Pick, I had students discard a card in pile in middle of table if teammate got it right immediately. Discarded on edge of table if teammate needed coaching, so I could pick up card and see which ones were causing problems so I could re-teach if needed.
