On Knowing Students…
How do teachers learn to care deeply
about students?
How do students know when teachers
care?
1111
What Are EASY Ways to Connect With Students?– LISTEN– Talk at the door– Complete interest assessments and use the data
– Use small group instruction
– Seek and use student input
– Invite examples, analogies, experiences
– Use student-led discussions
– Share your own stories– Seek varied perspectives– Go to student events– Spend time in the café
during lunch or study halls
– Keep student data cards– Attend extra-curricular
activities– Build some of the
curriculum on student interests and culture
12
Summarizing, Notetaking,
• How do I help students effectively interact with NEW knowledge?

The Predictive Power of Mindset
FIXED– Success comes from
being smart– Genetics, environment
determine what we can do
– Some kids are smart—some are not
– Teachers cannot override student profiles
GROWTH
– Success comes from effort
– With hard work, most students can do most things
– Teachers can override student profiles
– A key role of the teacher is to set high goals, provide high support, ensure student focus—to find the thing that makes school work for a student

People Can Change their MINDSET
QUESTIONIs a flexible mindset a precursor to
attending effectively to student differences?
ORIs it a goal for professional
development related to differentiation?
What are the implications of your answer?

Summarize
Generalizations:• Students need to analyze information to make decisions about what to:– Keep (central information for understanding)– Delete (remove extraneous details) – Substitute(more general terms or more specific)
• Putting information in their own words also helps student make connections to material/content
17
“Rule-Based Strategy”adapted from Brown, Campione, Day (1981)
• Delete trivial material that is unnecessary to understanding
• Delete redundant material• Substitute superordinate terms for lists (e.g., ”flowers for “daisies, tulips, and roses.”)
• Select a topic sentence, or invent one if one is missing
18
Summary Frame
• A summary frame is a series of questions a teacher provides to students
• Questions help students focus on elements for specific information
19
Summary Frame
In Classroom Instruction That Works byMarzano,Pickering and Pollock six types of summary frames are presented.• Narrative Frame• Topic-Restriction-Illustration Frame• Definition Frame• Argumentation Frame• Problem/Solution Frame• Conversation Framehttp://gets.gc.k12.va.us/vste/2008/2summarize.htm
20
Argumentation Frame Questions
• 1.What is the basic statement or claim that is the focus of the article? CLAIM
• 2. What information, examples or explanations are presented to support this claim? EVIDENCE
• 3. What concessions are made about the claim? QUALIFIER
21
Narrative Frame Questions
• 1. Who are the main characters and what distinguishes them from others?
• 2. When and where did the story take place?
• 3. What prompted the action in the story?
• GIVE EVIDENCE FROM THE TEXT to support your answers
22
Note Taking • Considered a work in progress
• Used as study guides• Students refer to and enhance notes
• Many approaches to taking notes
•Two-column, Cornell, mixed, outline
23
Collaborative SummarizingActivity
• Individual (no sharing)• Triads (3 unfamiliar or dissimilar partners)
• 2 Triads (6 partners/ group summary)
• Whole group quick share

Nonlinguistic Representations
……..”the most underused instructional strategy of all…..”
“a powerful aspect of learning”
Classroom Instruction That Works, Marzano

How are they effective?
• Brain works through patterns• Visual, kinesthetic elements engage other parts of the brain
• Help students see connections• Promote retrieval• Provide another mode of learning
30
Applications: The Power of NLRs
• Plan approaches to task• Organize data and information
• Hold action sequences until executed
• Maintain focus• Monitor and evaluate actions and progress
31
8 Cognitive Processes• 1. Representing in Context• 2. Describing• 3. Comparing and Contrasting• 4. Grouping and Classifying• 5. Ordering and Sequence• 6. Cause and Effect• 7. Part-Whole• 8. Relationships
32
Activity Time
• Triads (like content if possible)
• Learning Centers– Self-Assess (pre-assessment)– Follow instructions– Complete Task (as best as you can in time allotted)
33
Sharing the Learning
• Back to original Triads• Cross-Content collaboration
34
Sequence of Instruction
1. Develop (Provide background)2. Describe (Strategy, purpose, benefits)
3. Model (Demonstrate)4. Support (Guided practice)5. Use (Students implement)6. Assess (Teacher provides feedback)7. Reflect (Student articulates content and use)
35
Research
• Students require about four exposures to new information to integrate it into existing knowledge base (Rovee-Collier, 1995; Nuthall, 1999)
• Supported by brain research that students need time to think about new insights (Jenson, 2005)
36
Sticky Notes• Blue -Write a new or improved learning from this afternoons PD
• Yellow - Challenges you may face in implementing your new learning
• Pink- Something from today you can immediately use in your work
