Join Dr. Fisher for Day 29, as he shares his own experience of peer observation and then guides you through the process, step-by-step.
Dr. Fisher encourages you to introduce the Productive Group Work rubric to a colleague and then have them observe your students using the rubric. This experience can provide you with valuable feedback to use as you plan the next steps in your collaborative conversations work with your students.
CLASSROOM TASK: BRING IN A COLLEAGUE
Have a conversation with a colleague to introduce them to the Productive Group Work rubric and review each of the indicators. Then, follow through with your plan and complete your observation session.
Reflect on this experience and how you will continue to grow in the collaborative conversations work you are doing with your students.
This journal can be used to reflect on what you have learned as you develop strategies for engaging your students in collaborative conversations.
Use this rubric over the next 6 days to learn about the indicators of success and then assess your students’ group work.
It takes a lot of work to get students to collaborate with their peers and take ownership of their learning.
