A1 Use a structure of questioning to ensure all Ss are asked a variety of questions. #mdeschat

boncheri86 Jan 14 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: plan tiered questions... this is something I need to learn more about - so will be doing more reading than sharing 2n #mdeschat

MrCsajko Jan 14 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1: I don't know that we can "ensure." We can do our very best to guide, but inquiry will ultimately get them there #mdeschat

principal64 - Moderator Jan 14 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1. I think rigor should be based in real-world problem solving using trans-disciplinary teaching, authentic #mdeschat

WalterReap - Moderator Jan 14 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1 Bloom’s Taxonomy and Webb’s Depth of Knowledge are models of questions to consider. #mdeschat

boncheri86 Jan 14 @ 8:11 PM EST

@principal64 oooh -- that is something I am really trying to build my capacity in, hadn't thought of it in terms of rigor #mdeschat

MsReger Jan 14 @ 8:11 PM EST

A1: Rigor has to start with the T really knowing the Ss & then forming Qs and activities that allow them to engage #mdeschat

lindamcToth - Moderator Jan 14 @ 8:11 PM EST

#MDESCHAT A1 Differentiating by scaffolding but making sure the same obj is reached.

boncheri86 Jan 14 @ 8:15 PM EST

@rachelamstutz Collaborative planning is a vital structure; thanks for the reminder! #mdeschat

PrincipalCross Jan 14 @ 8:15 PM EST

A2) #mdeschat I want to answer this with flexible learning and resources, but that is the opposite of rigor.

rachelamstutz - Moderator Jan 14 @ 8:15 PM EST

A2 Another great resource is sharing lessons and lesson study so teachers can see other teachers facilitated higher level learning #mdeschat

boncheri86 Jan 14 @ 8:16 PM EST

WalterReap - Moderator Jan 14 @ 8:20 PM EST

@lindamcToth Imagine if Professional Learning allowed us to take the learning material to unpack THEN reconvene! #mdeschat

WalterReap - Moderator Jan 14 @ 8:21 PM EST

Q3 How can we add value to the learning experiences for students? #mdeschat

WalterReap - Moderator Jan 14 @ 8:21 PM EST

A3 Connect learning experiences to the real world by making connections across content/careers. #mdeschat

WalterReap - Moderator Jan 14 @ 8:24 PM EST

@MrCsajko If Ss cant learn skills with content that is familiar to them, it is a good chance they won't get it w/ unfamiliar 1s. #mdeschat

principal64 - Moderator Jan 14 @ 8:24 PM EST
