the best classroom change I made this year: ablerism.micro.blog
@KyleEssary Yes indeed. @markstoneman, lmk if you take it up. Nice to hear @teedan’s experience is the same.
@joshuapsteele @teedan Yes! I never cease needing to find more ways to make tacitly held teacher values into explicit classroom structures.
@teedan @ablerism I have been thinking along these lines! Two weeks ago I walked into class to see one of my students writing on the whiteboard while others made suggestions. They were anticipating a difficult reading quiz and crowdsourcing possible questions and answers. I thought “I should figure out a way to incorporate this kind of thing.” Sara, do you assign the recappers in advance? I wonder whether that would be best — or asking someone at random and encouraging others to help.
@ayjay I assigned ahead of time. We have a monster 3.5 hours once a week, so I want them paying attention in the prior week and organizing their thoughts before the recap moment. Could see it either way, though.
