Why This? Why Now? Creating That Learning Sequence

DESCRIPTION

Join Tem as she talks about the importance of sequencing lessons and knowing not only where the students were before, but why they are learning what they are learning now and where their learning will take them to next. She delves deep into the question that makes teachers feel anxious, “Why this? Why Now?”, and how to better prepare your team when it comes to answering this question.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Paint a picture of what the learning looks like for your students.
• All lessons should be within a sequence of lessons with links between each one. This should be incorporated within our lesson planning.
• Create a narrative that you use when an observer walks into your classroom.
• Have the end goal in mind of where you envision your students going to after they complete their schooling
• Create a way of making your team/teaching assistants aware of this information so they can access it with ease.
• My insights into my work-life balance from the 5 day challenge.

BEST MOMENTS:

"A learning journey that we take our students on from start to finish"

"Where do you envision your students going?"

"Equipping them with the knowledge that they need"

"Why is your teacher now covering this in your lesson?"

"When someone walks into your room, you have to start that narrative"

"Create those links between past content, what they are doing now and where they are going next"
