Shifting Instruction to the Core: Introduction to Core Action Two

Educators at Inspire Academy and Turning Point gathered again today for the next professional learning session in 'Shifting Instruction to the Core'. The focus of this session was 'Core Action 2' and supported teachers to better understand how to use text specific questions and tasks in their instruction. Teachers worked through Core Action Two of the Instructional Practice Guide with resources developed by WCSD History-Social Studies department  and Student Achievement Partners and they applied these resources to an Atlantic article, "The Myth of 'I'm Bad at Math" . Teachers will gather again on December 3rd to continue their exploration of Core Action 2. Resources from today's session include:

• PowerPoint
• Notetaker
• Steps for aligning practice to Core Action 2
• Generating Questions from Qualitative Descriptions by Student Achievement Partners
• Resources for exemplar text and lessons
