TAL AM ACTIVITIES Incorporates many good strategies in their workbooks • Think pare and share • sequencing • What do you think • Who am I
Areas that Need Improvement • Amount of time spent on Rashi and Rashi skills • Critical thinking activities • engaging older students • assessments that measure what students learned and can do
Critical questions We Need to Ask Ourselves How can we insure transference of material between each grade and between home and school? What are the goals of the Parsha program ? Why is so much time spent copying ? How does Tal Am Challenge more advanced students who may be bored How can we make some of the activities more engaging
How can we incorporate more critical thinking activities • it seems many of the activities are the same in each grade and they are not harder is that true? • Can some of the activities be scaffold ( i.e. have some students do the work without pictures) • How do we address gaps in student understanding and deal with different levels of readiness • Do we give the students the skill set they need to be successful in the Tal Am program
Possible Suggestions • Making connections- Ma Hakesher • Important to Know – ChashuvLadat • Let the students give their own answers to the questions not just reading the Tal Am classes and the mifarshim and seeing which one they agree with • Use Venn Diagram for activities like what was different bet. Avraham and Lot • Al mi neimar- some with pictures some without • Think Pair and Share • What is bothering Rashi
