A5: Teacher must model all four steps. During the process, the teacher must guide class in discussions and check on the development of student questions. Once students get the hang of reciprocal teaching, then they can step back, but still must be active#EDL531
A4: "Right there" What are the four steps of reciprocal teaching?
"Between the lines" In your opinion, why are there misconceptions with reciprocal teaching?
"Critical thinking" How can you use reciprocal teaching in your content area? Explain. #EDL531
A3: Step 3-Questions. Students have difficulty coming up with the correct scaffolding of questions. Teachers have trouble not just jumping in and giving them the questions. #EDL531
A1: Using the baseball reference, the teacher is the coach, so they can help fill in the student. Other classmates are able to assist the student who missed part of reciprocal teaching as well (player to player). Students can participate with the activity on their own. #EDL531
A5. I could find other math teachers in the district to have our students Skype about a topic we are covering at the same time. We would pair them up with their proficiency level and prep them before they "talked". #EDL531
A3. Students should be matched on something they have in common and matched intentionally. Peer tutoring is for practice. Students need to be trained and in control (this scares me with high schoolers :)). Teacher needs to monitor. #EDL531

A1. I have used peer tutoring quite a bit this year with my ELL students in math. For my weaker English speaking & math students, I have been lucky enough to have stronger English speaking & math student who speaks the same language as the lower student to pair.
