Pre-Survey
• On an index card, please answer the following question:
What do you hope to get from these 6 meetings?
Place in the middle of your table when finished.

Body of a New Teacher
• Using the hand-out, answer each question based on your experience.
• Next, form subject specific groups of 2-3.
• Discuss your individual ideas and create a “Body” chart representing the group.

A Picture of a NEW TEACHER in Math or Science
What data are you looking at?
What are you doing to improve instruction in math or science?
What gives you a stomach ache?
What action steps do you want to take this year?
Where do you feel stuck?
What makes you feel good about your class?
What are teachers who teach math or science talking about?
What do you want to learn that will help improve math or science instruction?
Students Teachers Community School Culture

Teaching Reading inMath and Science
• Learning Targets– I can explain why
vocabulary development is important in math or science.
– I can identify the steps necessary to plan content vocabulary instruction.
![Page 13: Network for New Science/Math Teachers November 17, 2009 Lexington, KY Brought to you by : University of Kentucky Partnership Institute for Math & Science.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e2a5503460f94b17578/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Teaching Vocabulary
• Complete the pre-reading guide.
• In the section, “The Role of Text Features”, read the sub-section “Text Features: Vocabulary”
• Complete the reading guide as you read.
![Page 14: Network for New Science/Math Teachers November 17, 2009 Lexington, KY Brought to you by : University of Kentucky Partnership Institute for Math & Science.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e2a5503460f94b17578/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
For Next Time
• Read the Frayer Model strategy and decide how you would like to use this with your students.
• At the next meeting, bring some student samples and be prepared to share pros and cons of this strategy.
![Page 15: Network for New Science/Math Teachers November 17, 2009 Lexington, KY Brought to you by : University of Kentucky Partnership Institute for Math & Science.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e2a5503460f94b17578/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Learning Climate
Learning target:• I can write a concept
definition for learning climate.– This means I can define
learning climate by providing the relationship to a larger idea, examples, non-examples, and critical attributes.
![Page 16: Network for New Science/Math Teachers November 17, 2009 Lexington, KY Brought to you by : University of Kentucky Partnership Institute for Math & Science.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e2a5503460f94b17578/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Recipe for Success• Imagine how frustrating culinary
school would be if the only feedback a student chef received was “Make this taste better.” Now imagine the same problem applied to school improvement. – How does one become a ‘better’ teacher?– What are the characteristics of effective
teaching that distinguish the most effective teachers?
– How does one become a ‘better student’?– What are the characteristics of effective
learning that distinguish the most effective students?
• Create a Recipe for Success– On an index card, jot down the key ingredients for
school improvement

High Quality Teaching and Learning
LEARNINGCLIMATE
Use the descriptors to rank order yourself in terms of Learning Climate

Learning Climate• Complete the companion viewing guide as you
watch the video in your subject alike groups

Learning ClimatePost-viewing:• How did the teacher show evidence of high expectations
through her instruction and interactions with her students?• Share examples of classroom management used during both
instruction and transition.• What strategies were used to increase student engagement
and motivation?• What feedback was provided to students that reinforced
classroom expectations?• What did you observe that you could immediately implement
in your classroom to improve climate? How will you measure implementation impact?
