Reflect and share

I notice…

I wonder…

Presenter tips: This slide is optional if you want attendees to experience an activity and provide a space for open questions about Strategies.

Decide how you will capture questions and when/how you will reply to them (in the session, or afterwards).

Delete the slide if you don’t plan to use it.

You’re going to reflect on what you learned about Ellevation Strategies using an activity called I Notice, I Wonder.
This activity helps with building or activating background, and creates connections between past experience and new learning.
The goal for this activity is to create a safe environment where students focus on sharing their observations and questions without any pressure to answer or solve a problem.
Let’s give it a try!

(Ask attendees to Reflect and Share what they notice and what they wonder about Strategies)

Presenter tips: Use this slide to guide discussion and brainstorming about:

Your current campus or district rewards or incentives you can leverage with Strategies
When and how might you do that
Who else needs to be involved
What can you try right away, and what makes sense to try later

Modules are pre-approved for PD credit or Certifications in select states.

If you’re in one of these state, review these resources with attendees during this brainstorm session, and share them with teachers using modules.

For all other states, refer to this guide and see what’s possible to offer PD credit to teachers at your district for completing modules:

4-step recipe to start offering PD credits for completed modules
