Our training session began during our PLC time with myself and Ms. Gyori showing our demonstration video to our colleague, Ms. Hansen. We then took time to walk through the important sections of the book and discuss how they related to the video demonstration. After discussing the important sections of the book, we began working on a co-constructed draft. We selected the topic of figurative language. We selected this topic because figurative language is often confused with sound devices. We discussed appropriate examples and non-examples, as well as tied down a definition of the concept.
After our training session during our PLC meeting, we observed Ms. Hansen implement the concept mastery routine in her English class. Ms. Hansen did a great job following the cue-do-review sequence and keeping her class engaged. She taught her class how to use the concept mastery routine, and they will likely be able to use the routine again in the future successfully. We provided feedback to Ms. Hansen regarding her implementation in the classroom, as well as the concept diagram created by her class. Overall this training session was successful and we feel that students at our school will benefit from the use of new instructional strategies.
