Description
The learning tasks and activities are
fully aligned with the instructional
outcomes and are designed to
challenge student thinking, inviting
students to make their thinking visible.
This technique results in active
intellectual engagement by most
students with important and
challenging content, and with teacher
scaffolding to support that
engagement. The groupings of
students are suitable to the activities.
The lesson has a clearly defined
structure, and the pacing of the lesson
is appropriate, providing most students
the time needed to be intellectually
engaged.
Critical Attributes
⢠Most students are intellectually
engaged in the lesson.
⢠Most learning tasks have multiple
correct responses or approaches
and/or encourage higher-order
thinking.
⢠Students are invited to explain their
thinking as part of completing tasks.
⢠Materials and resources support the
learning goals and require intellectual
engagement, as appropriate.
⢠The pacing of the lesson provides
students the time needed to be
intellectually engaged.

REMEMBER THE WHY!!
Introduction â Talk about who am I â a little about my experience
Good morning, my name is PJ Caposey â I always find the introductions of people at conferences or webinars a bit awkward as the presenter works to convince the audience that they are indeed qualified. I believe you are in good hands today â in most part because this is something that I personally worked through â failed at many times â reflected and re-worked â and was able to achieve a great deal of success for my school and those within my school. In four years as OHS principal we went from one of the lowest achieving schools in the county to be recognized as one of the best in the country --- through today you will learn a lot more about me and my philosophies as well as best practice strategies and methodologies for changing culture
What questions would you ask
The triangle should be replaced by the diamond. RtI by definition focuses on kids that need intervention. This means that any student whose needs are not met by the general education curriculum need intervention. The above visual demonstrates an appropriate RtI continuum â a sliding model represented by a diamond, that does not have a pre-determined percentage for each area, areas are on a continuum â not based on tiers, and the needs of gifted students are also met.
Goldsmith asserts that it may be as easy as every employee asking themselves these six simple questions every single day. This study has had thousands of participants and it has shown that people that are mindful of this every day for at least two weeks over ½ found their work satisfaction improve in over ½ of these categories. Over 90 percent saw some improvement and less than 1% found their engagement in work actually decrease.
Pretty powerful. Six questions. A determination to control your own energy and environment.
