Classroom Instruction Resources Of The Week

Each week, I publish a post or two containing three or four particularly useful resources on classroom instruction, and you can see them all here.

You can also see all my “Best” lists on instructional strategies here.

Here are this week’s picks:

Flipping the ‘I Do, We Do, You Do’ Model in Science Class is from Edutopia.

Reframing the Narrative is a series of what looks to me like some decent inquiry-based social studies units. Check them out here.

Retro Report offers lots of free videos appropriate for the classroom.

Culturally Relevant Math Literature is a useful collection.

Thinking Aloud is a useful overview from DistillED.

I’m adding this post to The Best Teaching/Learning Resources On The Musical, “Hamilton”:

I’m adding this next post to The Best Resources For Learning How To Best Give Feedback To Students:

Before students get their individual feedback returned in our classroom, we go through this sequence:

① what did we do well collectively?
② what are some specific growth trends? (S’s take notes!)
③ which trends apply to you? (S’s discuss w/ each other)
④ okay NOW how do you feel about how you did?
