@SDUHSDchat Q2) The switch to more nonfiction and less literature has been challenging -- but important for students #sduhsdchat

@meyerteacher Challenging in what way(s)? #SDUHSDchat

mathmama Jan 12 @ 11:13 PM EST

RJCaughey Jan 12 @ 11:14 PM EST

@meyerteacher That is a common theme amongst our ELA teachers across the district. #SDUHSDchat

mathmama Jan 12 @ 11:14 PM EST

@RJCaughey I love how that also gives them ownership. #SDUHSDchat

SDUHSDchat - Moderator Jan 12 @ 11:14 PM EST

#sduhsdchat Q2 moving students into groups of 4 all the time not just for activities. Increases collaboration

kfairchild6 - Moderator Jan 12 @ 11:16 PM EST

A3 I tend to make my edu-resolutions over summer, rather than Jan 1. So I'm just trying to finish projects I started... #SDUHSDchat

meyerteacher Jan 12 @ 11:16 PM EST

@SherrilBrice I really like the groupings of four, too. We switch people every quarter. #sduhsdchat

RJCaughey Jan 12 @ 11:16 PM EST

A3) Keeping students in DOK3 & DOK4 as often as possible. Allowing the productive struggle to be purposeful. #SDUHSDchat

@kfairchild6 Allow them to struggle and not be so quick to provide "answers." It is a challenge with British poetry. Be a guide. #SDUHSDchat

bandersonmath Jan 12 @ 11:19 PM EST

A3 for my classes is to incorporate more 5 practices of orchestrating discussion #SDUHSDchat

SDUHSDchat - Moderator Jan 12 @ 11:20 PM EST

RJCaughey Jan 12 @ 11:20 PM EST

@meyerteacher @kfairchild6 Great idea, @meyerteacher #SDUHSDchat

SherrilBrice Jan 12 @ 11:20 PM EST

mathmama Jan 12 @ 11:22 PM EST

@SherrilBrice You are a positive role model on campus. #SDUHSDchat
