Promoting Blended Learning
bit.ly/2BFcxA5
Provide differentiated instruction and flexibility in their pace and learning styles
Meet needs of my diverse classroom - IEPs, RTIs, Behaviors, students needing challenge
4 stations - teacher led, hands on, collaboration and technology
Essential that you develop a classroom culture that promotes growth mindset

Behaviors and Expectations
Expectations for behaviors at each station
Table Tents for each station- expectations
Student role - Manager - review expectations on table tents, encourage group members, promote accountable talk, clean up before rotation
Use the IPad to videotape the students’ behaviors and interactions as you introduce each station
Have self reflections and class discussion providing feedback to prompt growth mindset

Teacher led when you begin teaching this station- if possible have teacher led station be one that you can monitor with student interaction and cooperative learning - allowing teacher to work at this station (floating between teacher led and this station)
Teacher model - Begin teaching this station by having students work cooperatively to solve a problem together
Engages all students
Provides collaboration
Accountable math talk

10. Using the Thinking and Feedback Protocol
Looking (1 min)
Noticing (2 mins)
I see. . .
I notice that. . .
Listening (1-2 mins)
Wondering (2 mins)
“How did you…?”
“I wonder why you… ?”
Suggesting/Inspiring (2 mins)
