Description
When we attend to our students' learning–not just our teaching–we can become significantly more effective in helping them learn. This is a simple idea but not an easy one, and it may take some work to figure out how to do it. Let's explore some ways to illuminate students' current thinking (accurate or not), promote meaningful student discourse (helping them do more of the work), and collaborate with colleagues (thinking together). Benefit from "lessons learned" and discover some worthwhile resources that can help you make the shift and may even help to manage new standards and upcoming assessments.
