>Using rich vocabulary to describe a concept

Language

Communicating and understanding ideas and thoughts

the Constructs)

Understanding Ideas: Listening

Listening Opportunities

• Estimate % of student day spent listening.

• Write range on top of chart.• Brainstorm list of listening

tasks/activities students are expected to perform on typical school day.

Listening to Information

Construct Overview

Listening to Instructions

Activity Analysis: Listening

What do I want students to do?

What do I see happening?

What are the neurodevelopmental challenges?

What can I change tosupport learning?

What will a “win” look like?

EXAMPLES

Follow oral directions for an experiment

Steps left out of experiment

Active Working Memory

Write directions on whiteboard

Students can set up the experiment as intended and focus on the results

Understand the role of public speaking in furthering the Civil Rights Movement by listening to recordings of speeches

Students are unable to follow the narrative arc of a long speech

Language: Receptive

Provide students with a written transcript of the speech while they listen

Students are able to focus on the power of the speech because they will understand the words

Review of Wins and Successes

Practices in Education

On the Receiving End

Observable Phenomena Observable phenomena are:• Behaviors that emerge everyday-

both in the classroom and at home.• What you and others have seen,

heard or directly experienced described in specific label free terms-free from opinion or speculation.

• Observable phenomena are evidence that a neurodevelopmental strength or weakness may exist.

Turning Labels into Observable Phenomena

• You’re unmotivated. You’re capable of so much more than you’re delivering.

Making Tracks

Demystification occurs in a series of conversations with students that…

Remove the mystery surrounding learning challenges so that students can begin to understand, appreciate, and manage the way their mind works best.

What a teacher said…

I think demystification is one of the missing links in education. We teach, hand out report cards, talk to parents but often kids don’t know what kind of learner they are. In demystification we tell children their strengths and we talk about some areas of weakness. Then we share with them ways to use their strengths to help them be a better student. It’s a way to help students help themselves.

Understanding Ideas: Reading

Sub-skills and the Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

Some Group Collaboration 10 min

• Review other notes posted on same chart.• Discuss listed sub-skills, constructs and

functions.• Make sure you understand each other’s

thinking.• Summarize and share 1 area of

agreement and 1 area of disagreement• Select a spokesperson to share your

group’s summary

Construct Overview

Brain writing for Strategies• Pass worksheet to left and

receive new one.• Write strategy ideas on notes

and place them on the worksheet.

• Return worksheet to owner.• Sort and select ideas.

Next Day Application: A Conversation Roadmap

Collaborating on the Roadmap

• Identify the section selected and why.

• Develop key questions to ask and key points to cover.

• Rehearse key points to cover.

Producing and Communicating Ideas:Writing/Media

Express It! 5 min.

• Brainstorm the many ways you expect students to produce and communicate ideas.

• Consider the frequency or time spent on each.

• Create a visual representation that summarizes your thoughts.

Producing and Communicating Ideas

• Writing and Media

• Oral Presentations and Interactions

It’s a Breeze! 5 min.

• Review your assigned paragraph.• To the best of your ability, determine

what the new product is/ what it does/ how it works.

• Identify what writing issues or weaknesses inhibit your ability to understand the message.

It’s Your Turn

It’s a Cheese BreezerThis piece of equipment is designed for home use in the preparation of sauces, dips, soups, etc. It operates by using innovatively designed “shred coils” which simultaneously shred, churn, and heat the cheese. The shredding action significantly increases the surface area of the cheese, thus speeding heating and melting. There is the added feature of being able to add other ingredients, such as salsa or spices, during the process via a side attachment. Up to five one-pound blocks of cheese can be processed at one time in a little under 3 minutes.

Construct Overview

Portfolio Analysis

• Review the materials in the portfolio.

• Identify the observable phenomena.

• Gain consensus on the constructs and functions.

• Determine what more you need to know/learn.

A Step Further

• Develop a hypothesis about what is going on with your student.

• Identify a construct for your initial point of attack for problem solving.

• Select one or two strategies to support learning.

Welcome to Day Three

Team Assignments

• Team Indigo: Introduction to the Science of Learning

• Team Scarlet: Understanding Ideas: Listening

• Team Aqua: Practices in Education• Team Violet: Understanding Ideas:

Reading

Each team will develop review questions as follows:

Getting Ready for the Round Up

• Develop three review questions for your assigned module.

• Write your questions on the index card along with the answers.

• Appoint a “team representative” to present your questions for the other teams to answer.

• To “buzz in” the team leader will call out the team color.

The Review Round Up• Team will present their first question.• The first team to “buzz in” will have the

chance to answer.– 5 points for correct answer.– If incorrect, another team may “buzz in” to earn 5

points.– If the question “stumps” the group, the asking

team will earn 5 points.• We’ll repeat the process for the remaining

questions.• Our admiration and a hearty round of

applause to the winners.
