35. Video clip: MATH LESSON • SL.9.1 Initiate and participate effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grades 9-10 topics, texts, and issues, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively.

36. Video Clip Discussion • What evidence demonstrated that students are driving their own learning? • How does the ability to analyze arguments for validity help students prepare for active roles in a 21st century society? • What would you have done differently if you were the teacher?

37. Speaking and Listening CCSS • Use the CCSS website to access the CCSS for English Language Arts. On p. 48, access the College & Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Speaking & Listening • Individually, read these standards and note key points. • In small groups, discuss how these standards connect and relate to either the video clip or VSET 3b. • Each group shares 1 point of connection with whole group.

39. High-impact Anchor Literacy Strategy: • During discussion, emphasize students supporting answers based upon evidence from the text.

40. Now we will break into departments to discuss some tools for implementation and how this impacts your dpp.Please report directly to your department meeting for a small group discussion.

41. Tools for growth in 3b Each teacher should receive a copy of each of the following tools: • Questions to Help Promote Student Discussion • Activities for Involving Students in Discussions • Integrating Writing into Discussion • Monitoring Participation in Classroom Discussion Template/Example How can each of these tools help us increase our level of proficiency with the strategy?

42. DPP COMPONENT PARTNERS • Split into groups based on the components you are focusing on with Deliberate Practice Plan domains/components. • Spend some time sharing your progress with one another.

43. Exit Slips • We will be using Poll Everywhere for our Exit Slips today so that you can see what a short answer poll would look like! • The only difference when you respond to a short answer question in Poll Everywhere is that you need to add a number to the beginning of your answer. We would also like you to add your name to the end of your answer.

44. EXIT SLIP Question • What will you try because of what you learned today? Which tool could you try before the next Early Release PD?
