2) An opportunity to share your thoughts and work around implementation

3) A review of where to find support for implementation

4) Planning Time—and lots of it.

Use #teachnv if you see something cool today!

Robert Pondiscio

Former 5th grade teacher

Former Director of Communications for Core Knowledge

Executive Director of Citizenship First

Focus Question: Pondiscio asserts that reading is not a skill you teach but a condition you create. How does he support this statement?

Sharing

Describe an early problem implementing CK and something you’ve done to solve it.

Describe a scaffold you’ve created to help all students access the work of the lesson.

Describe an artifact that you brought with you.

Sharing, the protocol

Create a foursome with people from a different school with representation from the following dot sticker colors: blue, red, green and yellow.

Each person will have exactly four minutes to talk to the sharing prompts (we’ll repost the slide)

We’ll have 10 minutes for follow-up questions after everyone has shared.
