Dimensions of Reading Apprenticeship


3/15

Focus Group Conversations

Questions are aimed at the macro level

There are no right or wrong answers or

inappropriate questions

Our purpose is to build relationships, learnfrom one another, and capture some insights

3


4/15

Focus Group Directions

Take a few moments to look over the What

are we learning about RA handout.

Introduce yourself to everybody else at yourtable: name, college, discipline, and how/

when you got started with RA

Take turns answering Question 1. Wheneverybody has spoken, move on to question

2, etc.

4


5/15

On a macro or global level, what are your

goals for RA at your institution? What

would you like to see?

What resources do you need to help you

realize these goals?

5


6/15

Sharing Implementation Routines

To build a safe, collaborative, professional

community of practice

To get appropriate support incorporating

RA in classroom practice

To practice reflecting on and refining our

teaching

To practice a workshop that you might want

to bring back to your FIG

Nikas sample lesson

I wanted my Accelerated composition

students to be able to read a scholarly

journal article I tried to support their reading by having

them choose one such article with a small

group of peers and work in teams to readand talk to the text and problem solve

independently

7


8/15

Nikas sample lesson, contd.

I forced them to each print their own copy of the

article to work with and write on.

I noticed that not one single student talked to the

text all the way through the article, and very few

students could utilize the article in an essay.

I wonder what might happen if I worked through a

common scholarly journal article as a class first.

9/15

Notice Wonder

How can we describe students

behaviors during the lessons?

What did you see them do? What

are students communicating

through their behavior about what

is hard for them?

What participation structures and

what kind of support might help

solve the problem or improve the

behaviors and quality of work

they are producing?

At what point in the lesson might

I have students collaborate, and

how?

What kinds of supports are

students saying (through their

work or behavior) they need?

What kinds of changes can you

make in instruction? (modeling,guided practice? Smaller chunks

or easier text?)

Are your current goals realistic?

What change could you make that

might bring about a desiredchange in student behavior and

learning?

9


10/15

Final Reflection and Share Out

Each group share one significant

understanding about how to support student

learning:Narrow the goal or focus?

Think of next steps to extend the learning?

Consider factors that had an impact onlearning?

11/15

Yay! Boo.

Networking

Cindy

Motivated and

interesting colleagues

Variety and clarity of

activities

Walking the walkstructuring RA style

learning experiences

No enough time to

discuss; too many

interruptions

Moving around toomuch

I have no idea how I am

actually going to do

this!

11


12/15

How can we support RA across all

disciplines?

I want to see more examples and videos I want to join a group doing some kind of

common assessment

Where can I learn more? Where can I go for support?

12


13/15

Extending Inquiry through

Professional Reading

Please review the Text-based Seminar

Guidelines

Any comments? Additions? Challenges? Take a few minutes to read Death Knell

for the Lecture and choose 2 Golden

Lines that you definitely want to discuss

13


14/15

Changing Educational Paradigms

What does this video add to our discussion

in terms of content and process?

How is it different to read this video? What implications do you see, from both

the article and the video, for RA?

What are some tech tools that we can usein service of RA routines?

14


15/15

Will Brown Honors Chemistry

class videocase

What can this picture of a classroom tell me

about ways to support students in my

content area?

How could this classroom be enriched with

technological tools that are today?
