Finally, in the instructional planning process: Reflect and revise. Assess the effectiveness, collect feedback/data, analyze results, reflect on the plan, & modify accordingly.
@emintsnc #emints #emintstips #TipCards #HighQualityLessonDesign #HighQualityPD

[Brooke Higgins @higginsb]

Next in the instructional planning process: Approaches and focus. Select your approaches. What steps might you take to attain the outcomes successfully? Establish a focus. How might you hope to grow?
@emintsnc #emints #emintstips #TipCards #HighQualityLessonDesign #HighQualityPD

[Brooke Higgins @higginsb]

The first two steps to consider in the instructional planning process are the goals and successes. Identify goals and/or outcomes of the instruction. Then, determine success indicators.

Once you've reflected, now it's time to use what you've learned to plan. Planning is a cyclical process that often shifts between steps, but it always starts with the end in mind.
@emintsnc #emints #emintstips #TipCards #HighQualityLessonDesign #HighQualityPD

[Brooke Higgins @higginsb]

Finally, after gathering and analyzing data, Now What? Use what you’ve learned, make a plan, & put it into practice. #Reflection is most impactful when it leads to action.
@emintsnc #eMINTS #emintsTips #TipCards #TuesdayTip #TipTuesday #AuthenticLearning #CoachAndMentor

[Brooke Higgins @higginsb]

Next in #reflection: So What? What do the facts mean, and why does that matter? Explore your thoughts and emotions around the event, and then analyze your thoughts and beliefs.
@emintsnc #eMINTS #emintsTips #TipCards #TuesdayTip #TipTuesday #AuthenticLearning #CoachAndMentor

[Brooke Higgins @higginsb]

First in reflection: Recall the "What?" What facts did you learn?
Bring factual information to the forefront. Data could be quantitative (scores, achievement, grades, etc.) or qualitative (feedback, discussions, interviews, observations etc.)
@emintsnc #eMINTS #emintsTips

[Brooke Higgins @higginsb]

The end of a school year is the perfect time to #reflect on your practice. 1. Teach. Recall an event. 2. What? What facts did you learn? 3. So What? What do those facts mean? 4. Now What? Make a plan. 5. Practice: Try new ideas, strategies, & delivery methods!

The #EmotionallyUpbeatClassroom: 1. focuses more on positives (praise) than negatives (reprimands); 2. has strong TSR built on trust and respect; 3. has clear expectations shared at the beginning of year, day, and learning activity. @emintsnc #eMINTS #emintsTips #TipTuesday

Strong Teacher-Student Relationships (TSRs) lead to: happier, healthier teachers and students; lower levels of stress, anxiety, risky and off-task behavior; increases in higher-quality teaching practices, student engagement, critical thinking, & collaboration. @emintsnc #eMINTS
