  1. Learning Walks P.R.I.D.E. 03.19.14

  2. What are Learning Walks? • Informal • Non-evaluative • For your learning! • Focus on what is present!

  3. “Our role is to cause learning,not merely mention things.” -Essential Questions p. 26 Purpose of Today’s Learning Walk: • To observe questioning used by teachers and students. • To observe and learn from each other about best practices that set high standards and achievement. To See How Learning is Caused: • What is the instructional task? • What are the students saying and doing? • What is the teacher saying and doing?

  4. Collect Evidence We will use a three-column template to collect evidence during today’s learning walks.

  5. Revisit the four types of questions-Essential Questions, page 14 Questions that Guide • Asked to encourage and guide exploration of a topic • Point toward desired knowledge and skill (but not necessarily to a single answer) • May be asked over time (e.g., throughout a unit) • Generally require some explanation and support Essential Questions • Asked to stimulate ongoing thinking and inquiry • Raise more questions • Spark discussion and debate • Asked and reasked throughout the unit (and maybe the year) • Demand justification and support • “Answers“ may change as understanding deepens Questions that Hook • Asked to interest learners around a new topic • May spark curiosity, questions, or debate • Often framed in engaging “kid language” • Asked once or twice, but not revisited Questions that Lead • Asked to be answered • Have a “correct” answer • Support recall and information finding • Asked once (or until the answer is given) • Require no (or minimal) support
