Reflective Question

• How have you been supported in analyzing and improving your teaching practice?

• How effective has that support been?



Danielle Goedel



Prepare through study.• Complete exercises 2 and 3 from Lesson 9.• Make notes about the sequence and

complexities of each problem.• Read through the lesson summary question.

What questions would you add?• Briefly study the entire lesson. • Make notes on the lesson where students

might struggle.• What customizations might you consider?



Prepare through collaboration and practice.

• What positive statement might you have given the teacher during deliberate practice?

• What “push” might you have given the teacher during deliberate practice?

• Have you ever engaged in deliberate practice? What was your experience?



Deliberate practice.

• Read Appendix D, Protocol F for Deliberate Practice and Appendix E, Stems for Deliberate Practice.

• Deliberately practice one of the exercises or examples within the lesson in groups of 3.

• One participant is the teacher; one is the student; and one is the “pusher”. The student can give a “push” too.



Teach the lesson.

• Compare observation notes with a partner adding detail as needed.

• Make notes on the teacher pages about customizations made.

• Compare the actual experience to what is in the curriculum and to what was discussed in the pre-conference.



Teach the lesson.

• Write about the student learning that took place and the specific teacher actions and words that made it successful.

• Was there anything from the teacher’s practice that you would like to incorporate into your own practice?

• What was not successful?



Assess and analyze.• Work the exit ticket.• Look at solution on next page.• Analyzing just the exit tickets in your hand:• What specific success is evident?• What specific moments of instruction may have

contributed to the success?• What specific errors are evident?• How should the teacher address these errors?• What might you want to deliberately practice with

the teacher?



Analyze and practice.

• Deliberately practice the same component practiced by the teacher in groups of 3.



Prepare through study.• Complete and analyze exercises 1 – 4 and 5 –

8 from Lesson 5.• Read the student outcomes and the lesson

summary. Complete the exit ticket.• What do you know from Lesson 9 that may

mean customizing this lesson?• Is there a fluency that you would add?

Menu of Options

• Plan the subsequent lesson.• Collaboratively consider how best to return to your

school sites and implement some or all of these structures, cycles, practices, and concepts.

• Plan a lesson collaboratively to use with the process for your own school or district. Prepare for the pre-conference as both teacher and administrator. This would include digging into deliberate practice.



Reflection

• In what ways does it require courage to enter into a culture of continuous learning?

• What obstacles do you anticipate?• In anticipation of those obstacles, how might

they be surmounted ?
