West Iredell Middle School - 1:00 – 4:30

Items to Bring:Lessons aligned to specified standards (individual email will be sent by 11/20) on J drive, USB drive, DropBox, or Google Docs, etc. You do not need to bring your laptop this time; you will be working in computer labs.

Learning Targets:

I can revisit quality questioning by specifically looking at how to rebuild questions.

I can understand the purpose and value of the Quality Review Rubric.

By analyzing a sample lesson using the Quality Review Rubric, I can reflect on the lesson’s alignment to Common Core.

Criteria for Success:

I will submit newly rebuilt lessons to kshoffner or victoria_hogg.

Norms:

I can focus on the work for the entire work time (1-4:30).

I can actively participate by planning future lessons, sharing my knowledge, and seeking to clarify any questions I may have.

I can assume positive intent for my work and the work of my colleagues.
