I know that it is a little late, but I guess it still is before the next meeting. Some enhancements that I might make to my lesson plans, are that I am going to try to group differently. My class is already in groups by how I arrange my desks. After this professional development meeting, I think that I am going to get the students to move from group to group, in some kind of expert group and main group kind of way. I also liked the chip idea where no one can talk a second time until everyone has talked at least once. Communicating objectives is definitely one of my weaker points. What I am going to do is put the objective up on my T.V. screen so that everyone knows what the objective is for the day. I am also going to reference it many times in class so that everyone knows what the objective is. I am also going to put up the Colorado State learning standards, so that the class knows what they are.
