At BTW, the first 15 minutes of class is the only time students are allowed to go to the restroom without a hall pass.
At BTW, teachers are encouraged to go over the answers to bellwork assignment before the assignment is collected.
Teachers have 24 hours to return graded bellwork assignments or the grade will not count towards the student’s average.
The bellwork slide should begin when the short bell sounds.
Bellwork can be used in all of the following ways: pre-assessment, to introduce the lesson, to review concepts already taught, ticket out the door, to gauge what students already know about the unit
This is the 1st slide seen by students. The time does not begin until you click the slide.
This slide should be “clicked” when the bell rings ending class (there is enough time allotted for students to have 8 minutes to complete bellwork from when the short bell sounds.
Bellwork introduces the lesson or is a warm-up to what students are going to do today. In some cases, bellwork is a review of what happened during the last class period.
Write your bellwork in the space provided. If you are giving students a hand-out to complete, make a notation on this slide.
When this slide is finished, bellwork should be collected BEFORE you go over the answers.
All bellwork must be graded and returned in 24 hours or the grade will not count.

TIME IS UP!
Today, you will learn: Expectations and norms for the first 15 minutes of classes at BTW
Why is this important?: Confidently and consistently introduce an effective lesson
Today’s Text: INSIGHT survey
Today’s Task: Using the INSIGHT survey questions assigned to your INSIGHT survey group, create the introduction to a 50-minute lesson (Bellwork, Bellwork Breakdown, Connection, Frontloading) that will evaluate BTWs performance in the INSIGHT area to which you are assigned.
The information on this slide should also be written on the board (this is the white board protocol).
After you have gone over the bellwork, and BEFORE you frontload for the day, you should engage students in this connection slide.
Today, you will learn: This should be written in student-friendly language and should be no more than 10 words total
Why is this important: This should be written in student-friendly language and should have NOTHING to do with EOY testing. Write this statement in no more than 10 words total
Today’s Text: Every lesson should be driven by text. What text will you use to drive this work?
Today’s Task: Copy TODAY’S TASK from slide 2

13. Frontloading 1 minute TIME IS UP! Read the notes for this slide.
Select one way to frontload with which you are extremely familiar.
Select one way to frontload that you have never used OR you use rarely OR you just want to know more about.
Write your selections on a sticky note and place your selection on the butcher paper that most closely aligns with your thinking.
You have 5 minutes
Introduce the lesson using this slide. How will you hook students and gain their interest? What notes will students be required to take? **students should NEVER be allowed to sit idly while the teacher talks – if it’s important enough for the teacher to write, it’s important enough for the student to write.
Remember that notes (and how students take them, where they keep them, and how they use them again) must be intentional
Use as many of the frontloading slides as necessary (delete what you don’t need), but do not use more than 8 minutes. Additional facilitating will happen in small groups.
Frontloading can happen in any of the following ways:
Activate prior knowledge
Model thought process
I do, we do, you do
Use verbal cues
Motivational context to pique student interest/curiosity
Display historical timeline to offer a context for learning
Model activity students will be asked to complete
Break complex tasks into easier steps
Offer hints/partial solutions to problems
Teach students chants/mnemonic devices to ease memorization of key facts/procedures
Guiding students to make a prediction about what expect to occur
Allow students to contribute their own experiences that relate to the subject/content being discussed
Frontloading presents an opportunity for you to question students. Use question stems from each level of Bloom’s to assist you with creating questions. Write your questions either below or in the comments:

No communication sent outside the building without running the communication by your assigned administrator (they will receive my approval)
1st fifteen and last fifteen are sacred (no movement)
Bell to bell instruction
Print rich environments (inside and outside the classroom)
Expectations around student engagement
Making sure students are writing and/or discussing the content the entire time they are in class
Teachers being intentional about the way they question students
The expectation that 100% of the students will be engaged 100% of the time (and the plan for those who refuse to remain engaged has been articulated, and there is follow-through)
