How does
using protocols like “critical friends” help teachers become more reflective of
their teaching practices?
The 'critical friends' activity in class on Thursday demonstrated first hand how this will be helpful to my teaching practices. Especially after a week of being 'in the weeds', it is so refreshing and informative to have talented teachers look at your project with new eyes. Having a list of notes from the sharing has already helped by revise by project and make some excellent additions.

How could this protocol be used with students?
It's a little scary to think of using this in a full middle school classroom. I could set the protocol for the process but the other necessary elements: honest, respect, a willingness to participate are not characteristics that come easily for some middle schoolers. I could see that allowing them to be my critical friends first might open the door for a more genuine experience.

Identify two specific protocols you will embed
in your PBL unit. Consider protocols for
teacher-student or student-teacher feedback as well as student-student
feedback.
Two of the protocols we used this week that I will be using in my PBL unit are the Consensus Square and the Gallery Walk. Although the Consensus Square will be mostly student-student, there are options for other feedback.

Hi Marie,
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you found the critical friends protocol to be helpful. I appreciate your willingness to be our class model. I also am thankful that you are considering how you can utilize this with your middle school students. Those same criteria you outlined for successful implementation for this with teachers are the same for students.
